" In Arsene/Robins we trust." An unoriginal pretentious latin style nonsense.

Pundits when they say "let's see what happens" !

"Square ball"

"Come On"

"GET IT OUT" ...heard a lot at HR/Ricoh.... less so in last 4 years

"WHOOOOOOOOAAAHHHHHHHH" in a high pitched half scream/cheer/whistle..


I'm having a bad day and feeling a bit grumpy!

Top bin.
Limbs.
Top. It’s a jersey or shirt. You get tops from New Look.
Saved by the woodwork. If the woodwork wasn’t there it wouldn’t be a goal. The ball would’ve still missed.

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'.

Atkinson used to love saying "they've set out their stall", must have thought he was down the local market.

Jockey Him.

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

False nine has been around for ages to be fair

That's a good one. I hate limbs. Top is acceptable though!

Another complete bollox of a saying
"110%"

 

[joemercersaces]

Energy

 

[robbiekeane]

Pedigree

Philosophy

Brand of football

 

[joemercersaces]

And plastic Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea fans saying “we”

 

[robbiekeane]

“Investment”

...particularly people on this forum who use it synonymously with spending no loads of money

"SHOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTT"

Usually shouted out by some Moron at the Ricoh in a fuming, highly agitated and exasperated voice - at the exact moment that a shot is completely the wrong option and the team needs to show some composure.

 

[DannyThomas_1981]

'we're building a new stadium in partnership with the University of Warwick'

Always makes me cringe if anyone believes this to be remotely true.

 

[Hobo]

He is back on the grass.
That needs to go to VAR.
Not interfering with play (striker stood in front of keeper in six yard box).
Having watched the replay the ref got that wrong.
If we had played two up top we would have won (based on what???)
We should play 4-4-2 we should play 4-4-2 we should play 4-4-2

 

[Great_Expectations]

"pelters"
"the level"
"we go again"

Very similar to ‘we to again’ - “now we go”.

In a bar in Bali watching England in the World Cup and a group of absolutely clueless cockneys sat behind us. Literally everytime we got the ball it was “now we go” repeatedly or occasionally “now we fucking go”.

They also kept referring to Ashley Cole as “Cashley” for the whole game, which I presume they thought sounded cool.

By no means a new term, but anyone who shouts ‘FORWARD’ should be immediately banned.

 

[DionDublinsJockstrap]

“Extra yard of pace“ !!??

 

[Hobo]

Back on the grass.

Brian Clough used to say "early doors."

But at least he was buying the round.

 

[Ian1779]

Everything that Steven Pressley used to say in his post-match interviews.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

At this rate most of the dictionary will be banned

 

[Otis]

Everything that Steven Pressley used to say in his post-match interviews.

And Coleman

"We won the second half"

 

[superskyblue]

Worldy. Back on the grass.

 

[Blind-Faith]

Anything with giving over 100% - it’s mathematical bollox

players being referred to by the number and not there positions- he’s a number 8 or a false ten?? Pisses me off because I don’t know what they are on about

 

[BodicoteSkyBlue]

The project
Don’t know why, it never fails to niggle me when I hear a manager say “the project”

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Square pegs in round holes
Ducks in a line

 

[Esoterica]

Not a term but that 'making a heart with your fingers' goal celebration makes me want to 2 foot whoever does it.

 

[Esoterica]

WARCHEST!

 

[Tartan Specials]

Cam and cdm really annoy me

I'm naïve, what does CAM (and GOAT) mean? Back on topic - "set plays" and "it's a massive massive game".

 

[Sbarcher]

Brian Clough used to say "early doors."

One of my favourite comedy series.

 

[Sbarcher]

Hard to understand, he is brilliant in training.

 

[Sbarcher]

He will play for a top top team.

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

I'm naïve, what does CAM (and GOAT) mean? Back on topic - "set plays" and "it's a massive massive game".

Central attacking midfield and greatest of all time. Both should be deserving of a ban

 

[ovduk78]

We're playing 3 games every week, Saturday, Tuesday & Saturday

 

[mrtrench]

Score for fun.

Speed to burn.

Both trite clichés.

 

[DannyThomas_1981]

The biggest 'cringe' over the last few weeks for me has been the 'strengthening in the summer' thread.

Something that could have been fairly positive in looking at specific positions where we require improvement turned quickly into singling out current players - for 'binning off' in the summer.

It was bad enough last season when within 24 hours of promotion being confirmed some posters were gleefully demanding the removal of half of the squad for 'not being Championship quality.'

But to focus on binning current players off in the summer when we have so many important games to play between now and May - not really the best for morale is it?
