We all support and love our players in various degrees and shout and sing when they give good performances.

Saying that, even when we win or play well, there are small, irrelevant and petty things that irrationally irritates me about certain players. This feeling actually gets worse after a loss or poor performance

Two that comes to mind are Kabouls gap toothed grin, especially when he makes a mistake and Danny Rose........why doesn't he wear a shirt that seem to fit?

Just wondered if any of you have any irrational irks towards any of our players

Danny Rose, not really for the shirt thing, but the way he puffs his chest out and walks around looking like he's smelt a bad fart. Kid looks like a proper miscreant.

I used to bloody hate KPB's rolled up sleeves, looked like a right tit.

Aaron Lennon's stupid shaved bits annoy me too. They've even got them on his keyring in Toys'R'Us.

Dembele perpetually looks as stoned as his play would suggest. Maybe if he looked interested his lackadaisical manner of play wouldn't bother me so much.

It hasn't been as much of an issue this year (not nearly as much), but when Vertonghen gets that "disinterested" look on his face during the capitulations, when you can tell he's actively trying to convey he's "too good for this shit," I want so badly to be able to reach through the screen to slap the everliving shit out of him. Remarkably grating face, that one. Glad he's ditched that shit and looked far better recently.

Old one for me..... Darren Bent having missed getting a through ball or having met with it and sliced it into the stands he walks away and holds up his hand to say thanks with a "that was close" look on his face..... No Darren it wasn't.

Jenas clone one Dembele, paid 15 million for shite, that was 10 million to many, Jenas clone 2 Paulinho even worse 17 million, 14 million to many. Dembele has or had the potential but it's never going to be realised and that's very frustrating.

Adebayor not a bad player by any means but just too much trouble, AVB wanted rid of him but Levy didn't want to back AVB and now Poch is having the same problem and the ITK said Poch as told Levy to get rid of him or there will be trouble, so he might cost two managers their job.

Kranjcar using brushing his hair back as an excuse to stop running and walk instead. Also how he still ended up blowing out of his arse after 20 minutes. Loved watching him with the ball at his feet but the rest of his game was a total write off.

Lennon also annoys me with how often he continually slows the game down when he fronts up a player. Maybe it was getting caught with too many bad tackles but he used to get the ball and round a player but then he started trying to wait until a challenge comes in to make a move.

Soldado not attacking the 6 yard area, or not attacking it soon enough, he could have had so many tap ins if he just kept gambling.

Lamela for me.

So much talent, and I'm one of the few who still think he can be a star, but it still hasn't quite happened.

It just annoys me, becuase he's the sort of player who we might sell to someone, and he'll become world-class.

Was delighted for him after Burnley, and I really hope that sort of form will continue more consistenly.

Robbie Keane skipping up in the air when controlling the ball with someone tight to him. also when he used to duck out of headers.
Also Roman pavlyuchenko, just generally.
