Comments

  • Liverpool fans are funny
    Geordies are passionate
    Man City fans are passionate
    Palarse are the team of the 80's
    Agent McCarthy is/was a defender
  • tottenham are a big club
  • Charlton are a family club
  • Lampard and Gerrard are world class midfielders.
  • Charlton ? what league they in ?

    Im an Arsenal fan

    Im a gooner


    all above have me looking 4 the petrol can.
  • Whoever are a big club and deserve to be in the premiership.....


    NO!!!!

    You get to the premiership by winning matches and Leeds (just one example of a "big" club) have no more right to be in the prem than Rochdale or us!
  • playing football the westham and tottenham way

    what the feck does that mean
  • Liverpool and their European history.
    1966/the world cup in any tournament entered by England
    <Insert manager's name> has lost the changing room
    Early doors
    We bossed the first half...
    Obviously
    At the end of the day...
    Handbags at five paces...
    That magical night in Barcelona/Moscow
    The glottal stop
    The use of nouns instead of verbs
    I tell you wot, there isn't a blade of grass he hasn't covered tonight
    Bouncebackability
    Setting out their stall...
    Shock as in Player X has transferred from one club to another in a shock transfer, or a team has been ko'd from the FA cup in a shock result
    Minnows/romance of the cup/giant killers
    Plucky little... to desribe a team who draw away from home against a Premier league outfit
    The big number four - as used by acommentator who's forgotten that player's name
    Naive defending
    When Sky cover a match, even if it's the most on-sided game of the season they do their best to talk up the losing team presumably to keep the fans from switching off, similarly the direst game if the season is talked up as though it's an exciting game.
    He's gonna get the hairdryer treatment for that...
    "Credit" as in credit to the player for going in there/for the keeper pulling off a great save...
    "He's held his hands up..."
    It was the last pass that let them/him down
    That would of been 2-0 had it gone in...
  • For me,at least we are still 5TH still really pisses me off.
  • but we aint were now 6th

    so i will start it now atleast we are still 6th in in the play offf places

  • A Premiership side is gonna win it this year, why not us? (is that a cliche?)
  • at the end of the day
    take one game at a time.
    and scotty parker's favourite "you know"
  • "half a chance"

    It's either a chance or it isn't. good chance, slim chance, great chance, poor chance but it is still a chance
  • Anything like:

    "If that was a couple of foot to the left it would have been on target"

    or

    "If he kept his head over it that would have been on target"

    or

    "If the goalkeeper didnt get a hand to that it would have been a certain goal"
  • ".......we've gone out and brought in a couple of nought-noughts on the spin" .......the legendary Mr Curbishley
  • "Good blend of youth & experience"
    "Good spirit in the changing room"
    "Good bunch of lads" (from new signing wishing to ingratiate himself)
    "At this stage of my career" (player seeking a move / more dosh)
    "I've always had a good relationship with the fans here" (as above, hoping not to get slagged off)
    "One or two things to be ironed out" (I want more dosh)
    "Och! Look at that" (gasp as famous Brazillian with good name & flamboyant haircut takes throw-in)
    "At this level"
    "A little naive" (as young unheard of player misses good chance)
    "A little rusty" (as above Brazillian misses easier chance)
  • Undisclosed fee
  • "we never got going"

    really ? can i ask why ?

    its just that you've prepared for it for five days, collectively been payed around £200k, travelled by plane, stayed in a 5-star hotel, had someone massaging your legs before the game, had supporters who sing your name spend up to a half their weekly wage, have a fitness coach get you into shape, various other coaches assist with your development, and operate in a feng sui training ground that wards off bad spirits.


    So to be honest, i wouldn't mind a bit of expansion on why "you never got going" please.....
