The phrases that pundits and commentators can't live without now

[VancouverWolf]

iPad

What about it?……...use mine all the time for Subbuteo.

 

[Flump]

High press is up there.

What would you call it?

 

[sedgwolf1980]

What would you call it?

Closing someone down.

 

[Slothmonkey]

I listen to a lot of games on the radio and really annoys me when they start their sentence by going "Listen". I am listening you are on the bloody radio you imbecile.

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

Closing someone down.

You close someone down all over the pitch. A high press is specific to an area of the field so two different things

 

[JohnB]

Low block
Between the lines
Played fusbal for England
“wayne rooney’s” or “ frank lampard’s” insert team name
and the worst one I never want to hear again

Wolves have been hard done by VAR this season.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

They can’t complain, he brushed his sock - and that’s a penalty

 

[Norman Bell]

" No disrespect but Neves / Jimenez / Jota / Neto / Kilman / H'Wang / Rayan Ait Nouri and anyone else who puts together a few good games for Wolves should be at one of the media darling clubs "

 

[justfriggin]

took one for the team deft touch sublime exquisite marauding plucky striker VAR avoids all the confusion

 

[Tezthewolvesfan]

Bounce back ability was used for a few years IIRC

 

[ToastedWanderer]

Pockets, there's more pockets on a pitch than a snooker table according to pundits..

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Bounce back ability was used for a few years IIRC

When people thought Ian Dowie was a motivational genius.

 

[Rednal Wolf]

Passage of play .
People calling toss pot players by their first name like Jack Harry Mo etc
What winds me up most is divs on here calling players ballers ........absolute dick talk .

 

[Flump]

Closing someone down.

It's not though, is it.

It's more like "lots of players consistently trying to close people down as a specific style of play", but that's a bit of a mouthful!

 

[TriumphWolf]

Unfortunately, these days most of what I hear from commentators is a complete load of tosh - the mute-button is my only friend!

 

[stever]

When people thought Ian Dowie was a motivational genius.

Didn't he constantly use the phrase Touch Tight?

Fool

 

[Pagey]

Did brilliantly to buy his team a free kick!

Nope the ****er cheated.

 

[Hanbury_Wolf]

Oh, I forgot the one I hate most

Setting traps

Anytime liverpool win a ball back in the opponents half they've 'set a trap'

Nonsense

 

[Lupus ad Penn]

Industrial language is another new phrase been churned out.

The tv companies all apologise for crowd swearing,but never apologise for the constant foul language that litters modern day tv dramas. Double standards, to suit themselves.

Yeah where did that crap phrase come from? Load of gumph

 

[stever]

This as well. It's a football match

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Watershed innit.

 

[AndyWolves]

Low block makes sense in the context of mid block and high block.

I'm one of them aren't I?

 

[Dorbelflunk]

"he's positioned himself... in a position"

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Watershed innit.

That's another one.

 

[Ned]

Max Kilman speaks fluent Russian and played Futsal for England.

 

[loppers86]

"Let's leave this live match and go over and watch the Manchester United players getting off their team bus for their match later".

absolutely.

can’t like due to posting restrictions.

 

[Dubwolf71]

I listen to a lot of games on the radio and really annoys me when they start their sentence by going "Listen". I am listening you are on the bloody radio you imbecile.

Better than the ones on the radio who start a comment with "look"

 

[Dubwolf71]

Watershed innit.

Used to be called an outside toilet.

 

[De Wolfs Mullet]

Raised his hand


Why don't the commentators just say that the player smacked / hit / punched / chinned the other guy rather than trying to make it sound like a tiff between a couple of victorian gentlemen

 

[Jack Russell]

XG - what a load of tripe that is. Rarely bears any resemblance to the score. Abject nonsense!

 

[AndyWolves]

He's not that type of player

 

[DJLWolf]

Week in, week out.

 

[Greeno]

Max Kilman speaks fluent Russian and played Futsal for England.

Why am I only just learning this!?!??!!?

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Max Kilman speaks fluent Russian and played Futsal for England.

Why am I only just learning this!?!??!!?

Me too, (the Russian bit anyway).

What the **** is Futsal? I've never even seen it.

 

[Adrian_Monk]

'the group' and their 'good structures'

Even worse that commentators have started using these terms when talking about us during games. I can't tell whether they're repeating unwittingly, trying to sound smart or just taking the ****

 

[RutlandWolf]

My pet hate is where players are said to "bring the ball under their spell" instead of trapping the ruddy thing.

 

[The Wolf In The North]

Not sure that’s new. It’s what David Ellery sent Duncan Ferguson off for in 1998. His report actually stated “use of industrial language”

In fairness, if you were going to assign the term "industrial language" to anyone it would be Duncan Ferguson. A man whose birth likely resembled blocks of broken concrete tumbling down a funneled chute on a building site.

 

[topcat99]

Better than the ones on the radio who start a comment with "look"

Politicians start answers with “Look” when they are about to lie. It’s across the spectrum, but started the Bliar.

I hate pluralisations: “Your Liverpools and Arsenals “ or “Your Messis and Ronaldos “

 

[Mr Sizzle]

I listen to a lot of games on the radio and really annoys me when they start their sentence by going "Listen". I am listening you are on the bloody radio you imbecile.

I give you Rio Ferdinand …
