New football terminology is stupid

[lloydie]

Don't start me on Xg, complete nonsense and it can get in the bin

Would that be the Topbin?

Agree. We should all go back to talking like that Shakespeare fucker. Evolving language only confuses.

Although I have to admit whenever I hear a rugby league coach taking about the ‘D’ I’m incapable of not muttering ‘fuck off, you’re from Wigan not Miami’ under my breath.

The fact you watch rugby invalidates any opinion you have

egg chasing nonces ;-)

XG is priceless.

It's utter and total sh1t ;)

Low block. Parking the bus was suddenly deemed inadequate.

LOL and our own fans getting upset when the worst teams in the league come and use those tactics at the Etihad.

Do they expect them to expansive, organic football and let us have our wicked way?

A Project, just *uck off!

Cleats FFS, it's studs and 6 studs and black boots

Not sure why but nothing annoys me more than “Game management “

That’s a lie actually. Because it’s spread into other sports now. So you have commentators forever wittering on about “Court management “ in tennis and even fucking “Board management “ in bastard darts.

To he fair if we were all asked to vote for the Woman of the Match in the WSL we'd all just give it to the one with the biggest tits.

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

People trying to make the game sound more complicated than it really is, football is popular because it's so simple and you don't need to be drawing venn diagrams or invent words to explain it.

That one all day long.

I also admire counter attacking when referring to the Rags. The vast majority of the time they're playing how Big Sam used to play

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

I don't watch women's football but if that's what they wear I might have to start.
