Diamonds are Forever Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 'A yard of pace' is another that bugs me. Since when was speed measured in yards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 This is a predominantly EPL irritation but I hate the constant whine that 'XYZ new manager needs money to spend'. The first thing they turn to is cash despite the fact that the majority of clubs have extremely large, very expensive squad of players already, the majority of which play a handful of games and are never seen again. Novel Idea but how about said new manager actually trying to play the players that he's got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Yaffle Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Just heard this today on TV, someone tried to play the ball "round the corner to Pienaar". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamaldo Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 "They could have played until next week and they wouldn't have scored". Aye probably because the whole team would have died of exhaustion by that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds are Forever Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 The latest irritation is people talking about 'playing the *insert club here* way'. Heard it quite a bit about Spurs in the last couple of weeks, and it's regularly said about Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal, Man City, Celtic and by fans of pretty much any club really. By playing the Liverpool/Celtic/Spurs/whoever else way they always mean that they play attacking, passing football. It's a load of pretentious bullshit and misses the fact that all those clubs have huge portions of their history where the football they played was rancid, it seems that doesn't count though.

TheLip69 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Ah but then there's also the ball that's there to be won, and the ball he had no right to win. And don't forget the hospital ball, the outrageous ball and the obvious ball (apparently the latter two are often unexpected and ignored respectively...so it's understandable you may have missed them). My favourite was the 'good-looking ball' an Archie MacPherson classic. All time favourite though was Arthur Montfords classic 'Up go the heads" mentioned every time a cross came into the box. Even as a kid I knew how ludicrous that was but it described the action perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLip69 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 'A yard of pace' is another that bugs me. Since when was speed measured in yards? Deceptive pace is the one that gets me. If even the commentator is aware of it, who's being deceived? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 The old favourite, he's got a good touch for a big man. Also, bums on seats. The American MLS commentary throws up some good ones. They sometimes call the top corner the upper 90. And when someone demonstrates a bit of pace they go, he's got wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 'A yard of pace' is another that bugs me. Since when was speed measured in yards? I like it, makes total sense. s=d/t. 'Into the mixer' mentioned above is a belter, and quite apt in certain types of games where a ball is launched into 21 fuckers who are rammed in about 4 square metres of space with heads, legs and boots flying all over the joint.
