embow Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) Usually associated with pre or post match interview somebody comes out with..."At this moment in time" Why use five words when one or possibly two will do?......."Now" or "Right now". Trying too hard to sound as if they have a command of the English language. Edited January 7 by embow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodwin Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 'Putting bodies on the line'. Overbliwn even by football's standards. That is what people in Ukraine and other forlorn places do. Footballers defend and block a ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy win for a couple of weeks, most managers that do it move on. We are two years in and our guy hasn't stopped going on about running harder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oceanlineayr Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 "2-0 is a dangerous scoreline." Always baffled me this one. Surely it's better than 1-0? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferguson Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Not really along the same lines but the recent emergence of these new tactical phrases used to describe the most basic terms in football really grinds my gears, such as 'in transition' to describe a counter attack/winning the ball back, or 'gegenpress' to describe a hard press. Just using shiny new terms to impress those whose knowledge of football doesn't extend beyond an Xbox game. Special mention for 'xG' in the same category. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the same extent, pundits and fans describing player positions by numbers, specifically midfielders. "He can play as a 6 or an 8", "He's a great number 10" etc. I'd be fine with it if they used the same for every position. "He's a quality number 3" or "Thats the best 7 you'll see in this league" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter McGavin Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 "We just didn't turn up" Or "That wasn't us out there" Oh aye, so it was 11 men against no-one was it? Usually preceded when a team has been comprehensively outplayed and beaten. Boils my piss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And worst of all, the absolute misuse of "just about". As in, the keeper "just about kept that out" after making a save. The defender did just about enough. Get in the sea with that pish, no he didn't he did enough, just about equals failure.................grips my sh1t 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
