@DominicJwilson@FootballCliches In this case they actually did win by a tennis score as well didn’t they. 3-0 is a perfectly feasible tennis score, happens all the time. Grand slams only I believe.
@FootballCliches May have discussed it before, but the constant butchering of result and scoreline. Bruno Fernandes wanted a draw or loss in this game did he.
Getting relegated is annoying, but it’s even worse when your uneducated football Wife says things like: “Leeds is getting pushed into the lower system isn’t it, does that make you sad?”
@FootballCliches@CDEccleshare players who care one bit about scoring. The goalkeepers union. Especially freaky long range win assisted efforts. Famously apologetic when scoring. See Amir Begovic etc
@FootballCliches@CDEccleshare Andy Gray just said “you think, shit, we’ve got to protect this” just before the end of the half time coverage about his concerns of Argentina going 2-0 up.
@FootballCliches What’s the minimum amount of time a commentator has to wait after a slightly dramatic goal to say: “in amongst all that, x has become nation y’s all time goal scorer” or another suitable record
@FootballCliches Late for this weeks episode, but what constitutes a wall “more than doing its job” after a blocked free kick, as opposed to just it’s job.
@FootballCliches Hate - player in an interview “ I’m just a kid from place x” - a place, usually in Western Europe, which creates no barriers to being a footballer, If anything it’s usually a working class place which is statistically more likely to produce a professional footballer.
@FootballCliches Can you adjudicate on the concept of very little backlift? Convinced this is constantly mistaken for just getting a shot off quickly and is a bit of a made up thing.
