Footballing Buzz Words

True dat.

 

Also, any manager who talks about their ‘philosophy’. You’re Paul Clement, not Plato.

 

Stuboy is PO’s son?

 

He's called Meg

 

Excellent thread. Could add a 'like' to most of the posts.
Mind you - it's football and that must limit the conversation a bit: Hard to talk about it without finding you're using some cliche or other.
I recall GT condeming a couple of un-named managers for prattling on about admiring each other's 'rotationals'.

 

What's the fat stupid one called

Edit: I just remembered, Deeney

 

Take that away & you take away Troy’s ability to communicate.

 

Peter?!

Can you do your laugh, please?

 

To be fair - Is that fair?

 

Well, for the home team, depicted at the top of the screen, their centre forward is actually playing down bottom.

 

'Fans'. Short for 'fanatics'. Fanatics - really? There are some, but most people are just followers of football. It's used in a sort of condescending, patronizing way.

 

Paul Ince.

 

Or maybe as applied to some on here - "fantasists".

Sorry.

 

Now that would be fair.

 

This one. Does my head in more than “in this moment”.

 

He has NO RIGHT to... (shoot from there/get out of there/score from there)... delete as appropriate

 

He still has 'Jo Konta' or whatever he said about Arsenal.

 

Was Ann Jones ever nicknamed 'Co'?

If so, that would be a bullseye.

'Coco' would be close but I don't recall Ann as being much of a Coco.

 

'We go again'.

 

"Continue in this way"

Also, not a cliché but... When Match of the Day "analysis" tracks a slightly-arced run for absolutely no reason.

 

"He got the ball"

Does not matter in the slightest.

 

- "He could have had a hat-trick" when he hasn't even scored one
- Early doors
- Cut out them crosses, play them long balls, etc

Come to think of it, most of these seem to be Hoddleisms

 

You beat me to it.

Note to the Pozzos.....our football club is not a project.

 

Official attendance.

I want to know how many people turned up, not how many bought tickets.

 

I’m afraid it is to them.

 

Sadly, I agree with you.

 

Those ‘little’ Hoddleisms.

 

But their project is our club.

 

Got there first.

Should Gino have an emotional link with WFC?

Could he point to the corner where Issa fell off the stretcher?

Would he know LD12’s number?

Could he compare & contrast Harry the Hornets?

Probably not & maybe that’s a good thing.

A Deeney coffee mug or an ‘Almen is god’ tattoo & his ice cold decision making would be compromised.

 

To be fair, you can get rid of 99% of all the above if you lock Hoddle, LVG and Townsend in a cupboard.

 

“It’s a game of two halves”

 

"Some people are on the pitch....they think it's all over"

 

"To be fair"

 

Not a buzzword, but I hate when football fans chant in a fake 'well 'ard' voice, one they never ever use normally - you know, the one in a deep voice, often with the chin thrust forward for some reason.

Also, it's not "You 'Orns", it's "You Horns".
Why let our enunciation standards drop simply because we're attending a football match? Utter madness.
