Commentators mentioning the "Romance/Magic of the FA Cup" every five seconds

Takes all enjoyment out of watching the cup tbh.

Lewis Hamilton:

Turns 24 today, I turn 24 in 6 months time (June is the best month IMO) and yet he has achieved more in two years as a pro F1 driver, then I have so far in my life at this age. Happy birthday ****, certainly done all right for himself.

Jealousy imo.

Seriously though, have never been given a reason to dislike him, seems like a breath of fresh air when compared to Alonso or Schumacher so I fail to understand some of the hate as well. Assuming it's a British thing?

I don't mind the fella, was glad he won. But things that have rubbed people up include him turning his back on the country because he doesn't want to pay taxes, and his Dad

This is not the Premier League, your kid is not the next Tim Cahill or Mark Bosnich, no matter how much you scream at them they won't kick the ball more than a couple of metres. **** off and let the kids be kids.

It's the absolute lack of a personality that galls me. He is the English Tiger Woods; forced by an overbearing parent into an obsessive dedication into his sport since he could crawl at the expense of any personal development. His nationality is his only redeeming feature.

Not popular with the other drivers either by all accounts.

It's because he is better than them now, and has been better from the time he set foot in an F1 car imo (Well, not really, but It wouldn't surprised me if it was the main reason guys like Alonso dislike him). Probably also a lot of resentment because of the free ride he gets from the media. Can't recall seeing a poor word written about the bloke.

wat. He drives with the same irresponsibilty and lack of respect that Schumacher always did. He might seem like an alright bloke of the track but he's far too dangerous to others as a driver IMO. It might be what you need to be a world champion, but I frankly couldn't give a ****. One day he'll kill someone and then we'll see.

Was talking about the fact that doesn't seem like the total **** the other 2 were/are off the track. Don't mind his driving style. Obviously he's had his moments, but he's not a patch on Schumacher when it comes to being dirty afaic.

There are a number of reasons that I can't really support him. Think there is an underlying hint of smugness about him but I don't really mind him as a person. However I am not a fan of Ron Dennis (a fairly recent thing as I always supported Hakkinen) so was not cheering Mclaren on last year. Also think that Hamilton was bit lucky last year, he put in a number of poor performances as well as a number of excellent ones. However Biggest reason of all though for me not supporting him is the media hype, Yes he is very good but No he is not the clearly the best driver in the world.

I wouldn't want to. Unless wanting your kids to do crack is your thing.
