Majorly.
When did that become an adverb/ adjective?
"We was majorly disappointed by the ref's decision, Brian."
John Motson's mini-orgasm every time "ROOONEY!!!!!" gets a sniff of the ball.
Oh yeah, (as I'm on the subject) "the white Pele":
Nobody (but nobody!) was ever good enough to keep the one and only Pele out of his favoured position - and even if such a situation had arisen, there wouldn't have been any excuses needed for the performances delivered.
"My dad had something special going there":
Or whatever other banality is coming out of Jamie Redknapp's gob at any given moment.
Listen Jim-Jim, your job is to sit and look pretty for the ladies. Nobody gives a toss what you think (especially about your dad and cousin).
"I didn't see the incident":
Why are you in front of the f**king camera spouting about everything else then?
"A platform":
As in: "good players need a platform to perform"
Well, they've got one; it's called a football pitch.
"I need a club to match my ambitions"
Ever think that if you'd not spent the last twelve months moping, bitching and sulking, your current club might have performed a little better?
"The technically gifted Europeans/ methodical Germans/ temperamental Italians/ canny Scots (how can a football team be canny?)/ spirited Irish (like the Irish have a franchise on team spirit)/ Samba soccer (or "samba star" - a samba is a f**king dance!) etc. etc.
Lazy, cliché-ridden journalism.
The ability of RTE (Irish TV) to shoe horn the name of Manchester United into every single conversation about football (League of Ireland; World Cup Final; u/12 final at Phoenix Park - no matter, they MUST be mentioned).
And finally...
I do so hope that by the end of this year, we never, ever have to hear the words "long-suffering City fans" again.
