[super-seagulls]

It's literallyPart and parcel of the game!

 

[Worthingite]

Loyalty Robbie Keane who has cosmically supported every team he has played for as a boy - including LA Galaxy and Coventry!!

 

[Beach Seagull]

Committment-'I could not fault the lads committment out there today'. They are paid to be committed.

The football club-'Since I've been at the football club' 'I'm the man to take this football club forward'. Do we need to be told they are talking about a football club? Much loved phrase of a certain Micky Adams.

 

[scarby]

'half a chance' it's either a chance or not a chance....

 

[Nigella's Cream Pie]

The ball hit him on the hand (or arm or even shoulder) so it was a clear penalty

I've not seen it yet - I've seen it and it was our fault (as usually used by Fergson)

 

[Twinkle Toes]

That classic phrase that managers often utter when they've just signed a new player: i.e. He gives us something different.

No shit?

 

[Postman Pat]

Literally, as in he literally took his head off with that shot
Adjudged - he was adjudged offside

Niggle - I'm not telling you what it really is

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

We played too much football at times. As if playing snooker on the football pitch would have resulted in victory.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

'It was a fantastic cross, but the forwards weren't anywhere near it...'

 

[Acker79]

'big club'

 

[Hatman1234]

Jamie Redknapp....

"These balls now - they literally explode off your feet."

"He's literally left Ben Haim for dead there."

"Peter Schmeichel will be like a father figure to Kasper Schmeichel."

"Steven Gerrard makes runs into the box better than anyone. So does Frank Lampard."

"Roy Hodgson has never worked with top, top players."

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

The specific quality of being a '[BShot Stopper[/B]' when referring to a goalkeeper.

Surely they all need this to warrant getting out of bed in the morning.

 

[Madam Cholet]

Not meaningless , bit I've never seen appurtenances used outside of a footballing context

Actually I've never heard it in a footballing context (can you provide an example?) but have typed it many a time in property contracts.

Anyway, my contribution is "role model".

 

[StanmoreSeagull]

"result" - as in "we got a result". A loss is also a result to a football match not just a win or draw!
