Jamie Redknapp does this all the time the cretin. Along with "false nines" and the "number ten". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Spoons Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 The use of the word ‘right.’ As in ‘He’s put in a right good shift. ‘ Much loved by Gordan Strachan - who had a right good go at Scotland manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiviLion Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Heard "on a knife edge" a couple of times today. Watching some stream for the Accies v Celtic game with some weirdo shouting his own commentary and he referred to a cross headed wide by Edouard (I think) as "That was right on a knife edge for Edouard" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Spoons Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 ‘Didn’t turn up.’ As in: ‘the team didn’t turn up today.’ Meaning they were well beaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG.Roma Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 "3 games in a week" Usually inaccurately used by a manager who's team played 2 games last week. Playing Saturday-Wednesday-Saturday is one game one week, two games the next. When a team is in Europe and plays every midweek and every weekend for a month their managers often complain about playing 3 games a week for a month, so that'd be 12 games, but no, it's 8 because you only played 2 games a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard it used in any other context. I'm guessing you don't travel in high financial circles then. It's a common finance term, referring to when investors who predict a stock, or the market, will rise - and with the antonym bearish. It's a pretty reasonable analogy to footballing performance.
