It’s everywhere. From images, to videos, to Tiktoks, to adverts … I’m over saturated with opinions, replays, player ratings, hyperbole and the like.

There’s only so much you can take.

Example 1. The Newcastle goal vervus Arsenal. Never ending discussions on the decision. The hyperbolic nature of the punditry. The uneven opinions of the same people.

Example 2. Handball against Newcastle. Hundreds of videos all moaning, complaining over and over again. The same pundits complaining and restarting their opinion.

And now the new one - the ref not giving Man City an advantage in the Tottenham game. It starts all over again. The videos, the complaining, the shouting Tiktoks…

I just don’t care anymore.

Rational discussions are gone, replaced with hyperbole and drama.

It’s too much. I can’t watch any football related content anymore.

The only thing to do is to shut it all out but the commentary is just as bad.

    I agree with you to a certain extent - but at the end of the day there are just too many pundits constantly giving their opinions all over the TV. When I was a kid (70’s / 80’s) we had Match of the Day with Jimmy Hill on BBC and the Saint and Greavsy show on ITV - that was it as far as I can remember. And there wasn’t the endless talk about tactics and playing styles that dominates today - you just watched a game and enjoyed it, without trying to break it down and endlessly analyse it - I find it all a bit tiring, tbh.
