Football terms to retire

[TonySoprano]

"Between the lines" is another one i don't like.

Finding space in other words. What footballers have been doing for a hundred years is now a term of it's own.

 

[mummy]

"Woolich have fluked a late, undeserved winner from out of nowhere". Never want to hear that again, ever.

 

[ChiversRegal]

Galacticos ..... Over paid cunts.

Surely, it was big 4 because Chelsea, Man Utd, Woolwich and Liverpool WERE the big 4 clubs.

You had Liverpool and Man Utd, two of the most successful teams in history and then Chelsea and Woolwich who by Premier League standards were big clubs at the time. Chelsea were winning titles and domestic trophies and Woolwich had won league titles and competed.

It only turned big 6 when ourselves and Man City started rising to finish 4th (and above) and compete.

It wasn't because those teams finished outside the top 4 at all. Because at times when they did, the likes of Newcastle and Aston Villa had finished in that top 6 and never got called it - because they weren't clubs stable enough to keep it up.

Big 6 is actually a term used to describe 6 of the best teams in the Premier League on either size, history and revenue.

That won't change until Woolwich continuously fall out of that top 6.

It was originally "top4". It was evolved to "BigX" so as to continue to include Liverpool & United when they were struggling.

Isn't it the 'Hojbjerg role' now?

Hopefully, he's already a more capable player and he can retire the term forever.

"classico"

just a derby with no meat pies

Yeah - not sure I see the issue with this one.

But each to their own.

Soccer.

"Tiki-Taka"

What the fuck did that even mean?

 

[mummy]

To be honest, I still call it injury time*. 'Time added on' seems like a very clumsy construction, despite it being more politically correct.





Edit: I know, I know, I know, the cheating bastards aren't injured at all. It should be called Cheatin' Time.

I think it's a spanish cocktail?

 

[paddy spur]

I do like some german football words "Doppelpass" is a one -two

Yeah, I like Gedächtnisgrätsche.

 

[paddy spur]

Yeah, I like Gedächtnisgrätsche.

Sonntagsschuss​

this is a brillant one and I think we should introduce to the UK literally translate to sunday shot or a wild shot not out of place in a sunday league game

Brüstenhalter

Einfache fahrkarte

Vater (pronounced farter)

...and other words I learned as a schoolboy.

False 9 pisses me off, it’s just a centre forward that plays a bit deeper. Sheringham did it for 20 years without it having a poxy name

False Nine is a shite term any one who says is a wanker with too many skinny jeans in their wardrobe.

Doesn't the origin of this term go back to when Hungary thrashed England in the 50's with their No. 9 not playing as a striker and Billy wright and the other defenders not knowing who to mark?

I may just have made that up though.

 

[Bazali]

Double pivots???

Fuck that

Just call it the Sissoko

Ain’t that right Blakey?
