Abraham Romanovich Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 "To be fair, he's not that kind of player": only used to describe anyone (other than Joey Barton) who has just flattened an opponent with a horrendously timed and viciously high tackle. Harry Redknapp is exclusive in "wheeling and dealing" when signing a player, whilst we invariably swoop when we sign someone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Not particularly football related but when someone says something like "so I turned round and said to him....then he turned round and said to me" I think to myself "why don't you just face each other when you talk you thick ****s" People (footballers, pop stars) saying "ya get me?" after every sentence even when no actual point has been made pisses me right off.

TRL Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 "Really puts things into perspective" is the one that does my head in, when someone dies, gets badly injured, someone in their family dies etc etc. Literally the next day or even the same day, the person that wrote it will more often than not say something offensive about someone or something to do with a footballer. Seems that perspective lasted a long time!!... until the next bad thing that happens. Drives me crazy, don't say it unless you really mean it.

Guest citybabe Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Saying 'myself' or 'yourself' instead of 'me' or 'you' really really gets on my wick!! What is annoying me at the moment (I'm watching Spurs -v-QPR on Sky) is the commentator referring to the Chelsea game as being 'this morning' when they kicked off at 13:30.

CiderCraig Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 The ones that get on my nerves are ... 1) Opening posts with an apostrophe where there shouldn't be one!. 2) 'Loose' when it should be lose 3) 'Your' when it should be you're 4) Pronouncing the letter 'H' Haitch... it's Aitch (this one particularly pi$$es me off! and I blame the teachers of the last 15 years who teach this, and 'intelligent' people who say it... Grrr! 5) Apostrophes in general. If you don't know if there should be one, then if you DON'T put one in you'll be right more often than you'll be wrong!

Guest Craven arms Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Also when the commemtators says the amount of chances they have had it could of been 5 or 6,but thats completely hypothetical because at 2 or 3 nil the players would be in a different frame of mind the manager might change the system.Also goes for that deal or no deal,when the contestant deals but carrys on exactly how you would of played the game its bullshit because your mind set would be different place when you got 20 grand or so on it.
