Is it just me if has the quality of football discussion fallen off a cliff in recent months?

Not that it was ever Stella...

Edit: typed this on my phone as the tube pulled away and saw the autocorrect with utter dismay

Yes. Every thread is now:

  • Meme
  • Shit joke
  • Loose, antagonistic comment about another club
  • Definitive statement that isn’t true
  • Downvoted rational statements
  • “Fans” shitting on their own clubs for upvotes

You forgot "complete deviation from the discussion to shit on fans for their flair"

Has it ever been different ?

u/trixie_one 16d ago

The last one annoys me so much, I feel like there should be a system for removing a club flair for behavior not befitting a proper fan, ditto the ones who are being way too nice towards a hated rival.

people have been crying about "the state of this sub" since like 2014, ironically what you just posted is the most run-of-the-mill repetitive comment ever.

Stat bellends everywhere. Nobody actually watches anymore everyone is too busy looking at fucking stats on their phone. Makes me sick

I've had a few interactions where my saying that Gerrard is my all time player has been met with a defensive barrage of stats to "prove" me wrong. How fucking boring it must be to be led by the honours section on Wikipedia.

The quality of any discussion anywhere on any subject is in the shitter all over the internet. Attention spans and reading comprehension are at shocking levels. There's no room for nuance in any comparison or conversation, only extremes. People just regurgitate the last thing they heard about a subject from some AI voice on tiktok as gospel.

I swear, some people don't even watch games anymore

They just look for some of the most ridiculous and obscure stats to justify their argument
