Stive Pesley Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share Posted May 11, 2023 It's always a fair bet when we win a game that we weren't expected to win, there will be at least one newspaper headline that goes with a variation of "Ram Raid" Likewise when a team lose a game against Leicester which they were expected to win - "Out Foxed" jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinhectoring Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Like the way he ‘goes about his business’ (golf to blame for that nonsense ? ) it’s a game of ‘fine margins’ (seen frequently on here from posters who only ever watch football and mud wrestling?) Another one from this forum: ‘I’m just glad we have a club to support’ - as if that means that failure of any sort can’t be mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 the one that gets me is "Cultured Left Foot", why does nobody have a cultured Right foot? "he rose like a salmon" used quite a lot over the years. "marquee signing" what? a signing in a big tent? Alph, Premier ram and jono 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Anyone else noticed this one which I don't think I'd ever heard prior to this season (used frequently by PW but also used by players): "Got to get the right quality of players in the building" or "I'm happy with the players in the building" etc. (I'm always thinking: surely "in the building" is the least effective place for good players to be?)

A lot of idiomatic phrases get twisted over time (like "he did it off his own back (bat)") I should think in a few years this one will have become "he rose like the price of salmon" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) Nobody uses the word delighted except football managers and pundits. And to add to a cultured left foot isn't it also only possible to have a sweet left foot? You can hit a sweet free kick with your right foot. But to actually be blessed with a sweet foot (or even a peg, if you're a crazy character) you have to be left footed.

May Contain Nuts Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) "Couldn't quite get it over the line" re: any transfer that was close to happening but didn't. Someone is always 'pipped to the signing of..." a target they missed out on.
