GlossopLatic Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) "He talks a good game" Basically the manager says the right thing to the press and comes across the right way but ultimately I'm bored so in the absence of someone spending 10s of millions on us if we sack yet another manager I'm hoping all our problems will vanish into thin air. "Go hard or go home" Go hard for now but the first decent offer I have comes my way you won't see me for dust.

NewBlue Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 "As for Gavin Gunning, who remains on trial at the club, the Chronicle understands a final decision will be made soon. His leadership qualities have impressed, but the ex-Birmingham man still appears short of full match fitness." ...means: 'He's gash but good at delegating the blame' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chorlton_Latic Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I think my most hated from my ever increasing list of :censored:ty, generic, vapid commentary phrases is ‘using his experience’ I.e ‘X player.. uses his experience there to draw a clever foul’ Translation – ‘He’s fallen over like a massive tart under minimal pressure and held onto the ball until the ref blew for a foul’ Also applies to teams, but only if the narrative pits a super duper EPL bestest league ever side grinding out a result against some plucky lower league chancers – when Tottenham were drawing 2-2 at Bramall Lane in the league cup semi 2nd leg, with 2 mins to go, the BBC sagely advised us Spurs were ‘using their Premier League Experience’ to see out the game. That’s right, their ‘Premier League Experience’ couldn’t stop them going 2-1 down, but they know how to stand in the corner and fall over when they’re scraping a draw against a side 2 divisions below them. #experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
