What the F is the difference? The current favourite pundit phrase replacing " the boy " A top player is say Mc Neil a top top player perhaps Sterling a top top pause as though they are in awe of saying the name perhaps Messi maybe Hazard.
Which over used cliche bugs you ?

Entitled to go down there. = cheating.

Professional foul. = cheating.

Game is riddled with cheating. and no-one gives a ****.

'There was contact'

Yes but it doesn't mean that he needs to go to the floor like a 4 year old girl who has been told that she can't have any sweets.

I prefer Paul Merson's "He's a player.. he really is a player" or "He's got a left foot, he's really got a left foot"

In many ways, he's hit that too well.

He's got that in his locker.

"He's taken one for the team" as though it's something to be applauded.

At the end of the day.
There was contact.
Best league in the world.
Simulation (instead of cheating).

Unless you visit Boca Juniors in Argentina who have a stand that actually does move when the fans start jumping in unison. I used to do business with a Boca fan and she said it really does move.

Sausage · Post by **Sausage** » Fri Dec 20, 2019 11:21 am

"Stonewall penalty" - the implication that it's an indisputable penalty.

The definition of stonewall has nothing to do with being indisuputable. It means to delay or obstruct by being evasive.

Goobs · Post by **Goobs** » Fri Dec 20, 2019 11:46 am

"Taken one for the team".

No, he's just deliberately fouled an opponent who was breaking away in order to give away a (near enough always) harmless free-kick near the halfway line thus allowing himself and all his team mates to get back and defend.

This is blatant cheating and one of the prime examples (for me) of why a sin bin is required, possibly (although debatable) doesn't deserve a red card but should be harsher than a yellow in my opinion.

'In the shop window'

A player who's form miraculously improves when news/rumours that an unexpected transfer enquiry had been received.

Remember any examples?
