All the grunting and groaning that goes on in tennis 

The exorbitant prices clubs pay for little more than average players...

that ive got really long legs but i run like phoebe from friends, i hate athletes

Not that this thread is like "Modern Day Annoyances" but lets forget that amongst friends . . .

The ££££ footballers are paid is truly ridiculous

Tis sport orientated Sainty 

Yep, agreed about salaries 

The fact that a lot of them get paid an obscene amount of money .....makes me grrrrr  

If I could come in here? That's one of the defects of your actual market economy. I believe it was that Thatcher one who suggested, if I remember it correctly, that you can buck your opposite gender partner but you can't buck the market.

As long as people pay over a thousand sponds for a season ticket or in excess of fifty for a match ticket nothing will change. "Twenty is plenty!" That is our catchphrase.

I couldn't care fewer about the other sports!

I don't have a problem with sportsmen (and women's) wages - least of all footballer's.  Most have a limited career span and it could be over in the blink of a badly timed tackle. 

No one moaned from the terraces when players were on 20 quid a week despite being (as then) Division 1 players earning less than a brickie.

It's all Jimmy Hill's fault   

I was quite good at tennis & the discus when I was at school, did I get scouted. NOOOO. That's what hacks me off*

*It doesn't, I just wanted to join in this thread.

golf and golf clubs - exorbitant fees and snobbery

You should have played at Mount Oswald golf club in Durham when I worked there, the snobbery went out of the window. 

Another vote for Middlesbrough Municipal Golf Course. Last time I went there the security gadjie patted me down and asked if I had any weapons. I told him that I hadn't and he said, "Here! You had better take this Sabatier!"

(the old ones are the best)

Watching idiots (kinda) like Lewis Hamilton waste their money on silly ear rings that are probably worth more than a house

Huddersfield are only charging us £21! 

If it had been me he was asking my response would have been "I am the most lethal weapon you will encounter".

their lack of personality.

The Olympic committee - they annoy me, why the hell is the three legged race not in the Olympics?

I know. That was pretty poor wasn't it. I'm just not firing on all cylinders tonight. 

I'm indifferent,I don't really like sports.There's vastly overpaid folk in all walks of life,it hacks me off  that I  ain't one of them...

*passes cylinder boost* 

I read the other day that a Chelsea player (unnamed) would rather lose than win under Mourinho. 

Never mind the fans paying a fortune to watch Chelsea, never mind the fantastic wages that are beyond the dreams of most of us, just a selfish ego driven prima-donna who sees himself as the centre of his own personal universe, where his ego is king and bollocks to everyone else!

I get sick of reading how managers have 'lost the dressing room'.  If most of the real world are pissed off with our bosses, we don't deliberately screw up to undermine them, in the hope they'll be sacked, we get on with our jobs to the best of our abilities. 

My leftist instincts tell me that money is poor motivator.  Football is best proof of this.

Yes !

And all the corruption scandals coming out in the various governing bodies. Athletics being the latest   

Corruption has always there, its just that we are finding how endemic it is in sport now...

How many of them seems to have very little taste. You only have t lok at what they buy and wear.

Everything!....nuff said
