Yep. Makes no sense to me.

someone’s said “early doors” already...was this just Big Ron making sayings up that some how stuck?

Another one of Big Ron's favourite was using "lollipop" instead of step over!

"Premiership Quality".

I've seen plenty of 'quality' goals scored in lower leagues that are as good as any footballer tbh. And I've seen plenty of premiership players miss sitters or make a real hash of things.
I rarely watch MOTD now as it's an utter boring bunch of talking heads which I find patronising. Shearer will rave about a player as though he was great, and yet Shearer in his day was a fantastic striker and the one he raves about could'nt lace his boots. What happens to these guys that turn pundit?
Then there's the fact we have pundits that have never managed a football team. If anyone can tell me what Mark Lawrenson gets paid for I really want to know.

Referring to positions on the field as numbers, especially when people born in this century do it, we’ve had squad numbers for 20 years. “He’s a traditional number 11” left winger then yeah. He’s playing the number 9 role, so he’s a centre forward then ya prick.

“ he’s ran down the flank did a double lollipop knocked it to the back stick for his oppo to finish it with a buddy holly”

Baller. What the fuck is that about.

Any historical stat that only covers the premier league period, football existed before.

To flip the conversation what about new expressions people like?
I quite like game management, sounds professional.

I would imagine in has come from the ugly term in cricket Batter as you can’t say batsman anymore mainly used by the female commentators

Less football but more everyday life but anyone who says 'Smash it' or 'smashed' can get in the sea

As in 'smashed it bruv' or 'I just smashed a protein shake'

Clive was grinding my gears yesterday when he kept saying 'in the affirmative'. You should only really say 'in the affirmative' if you're a robot from a cheesey 80's sci-fi flick.

I think Baller is used in Basketball, so naturally has filtered it's way into UK usage.

Yeah 'Early Doors'
What does that mean? What have doors got to do with it?

It's an Atkinsonism, I quite like it. My favourite quote about Atkinson (I think it was about him) is that he has 'less than 20:20 hindsight'.

There was a quote from Richard Herring about Stewart Lee in the paper yesterday I like. He said that 'he's the kind of person to cut off his face to spite his nose'.

“Playing through the lines” is the new and extremely intelligent way to say “passing forward”.

Plays as a 'false 9', or 'false 10'. What's that all about?

I'm sure Brian Clough used it first. Saw it in an interview and thought what the hell are you talking about?
