greenun Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Over the last few weeks, err months.....; this season we've been treated to a number of regular cliches to explain our pathetic form - ad nauseum. (See, it's catching!) But what do they actually mean? Here's some examples from today's EP. If you would like to add your own, who knows? In a few hours we may have enough to publish a book to rival Harry Stoke and Vinny Green's, "A dictionary of Bristle". Smith: We have to pull together - we couldn't be further apart right now. Tinnion - We're low on confidence - not to mention ability, workrate, desire..... Tinnion - We are lacking desire - note to self; remove lacking and the e and s from desire.

Portishead Puffin Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 How about "hes got to show he wants to play for this club" = he hasn't been booked for 3 games! "Only outsiders appreciate this club for what it is" = the local boys are soft southern poofs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenun Posted February 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Steve L - Judge me on Brian - did I really say that? Is it on record? Steve L - "It is premature to be critical, we have to give Brian 10 or 15 games to get the thing sorted out and see how we progress." - How about another 10 - 15 games? Oh what the hell! Lets call it a nice round season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTide Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 tinman explained: we lacked quality in the final third - i don't know what tactics to use against teams who come to defend we want him to go on loan to regain his sharpness - we need the space on the bench for the ones who've just come back off loan he needs to get his head sorted - he doesn't like me and i don't like him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
