No one's doubting this, that doesn't mean it makes any sense though.

 

People use the term centre-half to refer to what you would call a centre-back. It's the truth, guv'nor.

 

Don't make me come in there

Phil Brown liked to use the old football cliches!

 

I love the irony of the phrase "I know it's a cliche, but..." being a cliche itself

 

For me, the one that annoys me is that thing I've done at the beginning of this sentence, starting it with a "for me" that's surplus to requirements. Taylor did it all the bloody time, and yes I've noticed I do it in posts occassionally as well, that's part of what annoys me about it.

 

Nigel Adkins' "ever so well" did my head in when he was at Scunny.

 

Agreed.

Ey listen, the boys have done ever so well. They were magnificent.

 

That said, we still should have employed him when we had the chance.

 

Hindsight, Perce.

 

I said it at the time (admittedly on the suggestion of others). AP actually said we weren't interested, and then went on to hire Pearson. The mind boggles.

 

I shouldn't be responding but:

NP has done a similar job to what Adkins did at Saints.

 

It's a MASSIVE game

 

To take it further, badge kissing. You might let someone like Gerrard get away with being a one club player and having had time to form an association, even though isn't he the one pictured at home in an Everton shirt as a kid, but other players do it as soon as they join a new club. There's even an agent who came out and admitted that he tells his players to do it when they score their first goal for a new club so they get in with the fans.

Oh, and "he's an honest player", nearly always used to describe a player who's just blatanly and intentionally cheated.

 

Saints are top of the league, after coming from the division below.

Hull City are ninth, after coming from the division above.

I don't follow.

 

In a cockney accent:

"what he's done is,.......he's got to bye-line and he's chipped it in, the strikers got his head to it, and it's gawn in"
