"That would have been a great/brilliant/best goal ever - if it had gone in"....

Reminds me of the Jasper Carrott story:

Quote

So BRMB have a phone in for football supporters every Saturday evening and this guy phones in and says:

"well Tony, what about the Villa then?"

"what about them?"

"Andy Gray hit this one ball that if it had gone in the net, it would have been a goal"

"Oh"

"Thanks Tone"

The final 3rd, The final pass, Hoof ball, Route 1, Head tennis, Took one for the team, Trap a bag of cement

(insert manager)Ball, one trick pony, tactical master class. Injury crisis. Park the bus and banks of four.

I think inverted wing backs is really special but I can’t decide whether it’s a defender who can attack or an attacker who can defend or is it both but playing on the wrong side of the pitch to one’s favoured leg. OR could it be gender related can someone explain ? TVM 🤪

False 10 must be a Bo Derek look alike ?

Only just found this thread... gave me a giggle.

The term 'rasping' only exists in this context in football ie it was a rasping drive.

The phrase 'that only happens in football '... Well obviously it does...

'Game of two halves' massively overused.

But most importantly the phrase 'detail' that I've posted Shaun Barker uses as pretty much the word to describe anything!!

Ie 'He just needs to improve the detail on that pass'.

'We've been decent but Warne needs to work on the details of the press'

'Look at the details on that turn and pass'...

Now I've noticed it, it's driving me mad.

I actually agree with most of what he says though.

Close the thread. Hate this one.

Although shame we didn't have it when Alan Ball managed.

Hate it nearly as much as something-gate. Maybe if Arteta slags of City's style of play, we can have Pepeballgate.

 

The '-gate' suffix doesn't even make any sense. It was the Watergate building, not a scandal involving water!
