New football terminology is stupid

A No10
A 8
The 6 role
Double pivot
Quarterback
Inverted whatever


I find them all annoying

what is a number ten or eight?

in the traditional 1-11 shirts either were used for secondary strikers or attacking midfielder theycare not a positon or even a set number anymore.
Same goes for 6, Steve Redmond wore 6 ffs

Double pivot and quarter back can just fuck off, it's 2 x DMs and a Playmaker.

Finally inverted, you mean players cut inside from the flanks, players alway have.

Pundits are twats and talk shite


I have used the term double pivot myself and feel thoroughly ashamed of myself ;-)
A number 10 is an Inside Left
A number 8 is an Inside Right
 
It all went wrong after a goalie a left back and right back
Then a Centre Half supported by 2 Half Backs
Then a front 5 2 wingers 2 inside forwards and Centre Forward got messed about with.
I blame Alf Ramsey Fukin 4-4-2 ffs
My Subbuteo ko formation won’t change …ever
Nor will the finest KO …CF taps it to a Inside Forward who immediately plays it back to a Centre Half who hoofs it as far as possible up field which is the signal for the whole team to charge forward. Thankfully the Rags still uphold this tradition

Tragically new terminology threatens this chant we used to sing during the 1960s

They say that Old Trafford's a wonderful place
But the players who play there are a f*cking disgrace
They have half backs and full backs and forwards too
With their hands down their pants they have f*ck all to do

The Stretford End sing
The Stretford End shout
They sing silly songs they know f*ck all about
But we all agree where those b*stards should be
Shovelling sh*t on the Isle of Capri
