It's not always wrong though. For example:

So is a word that frequently is used incorrectly at the start of a sentence.

 


Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

"As I said,..."

the bullox filling stuff footballers spout when asked for an opinion.
"you just can't give room like that to such a class player"
"and there's no-one picking him up"

 


I disengage, I turn the page.

I know I’ve put this on here before somewhere, but I’ll do it again, it seems to fit in with this thread.
All the modern football phrases, for an old dinosaur like me, it gets right up my nose

Double Pivot
False nine
Overloads
Low block
Full press
Game management
‘We’ll kick on’
Transition
‘The project’
Recycle the ball

Oh do fcuk off, it’s a simple game, you just have to put the ball in the white thing with the net hanging on it

Thanks for that, you just saved me a lot of typing there.

Younger people who watch too much American tv and go into a cafe, takeaway, shop etc and say “can I get……” instead of “can I have…..”

If it was ‘get’ you would have to climb over the counter and get it yourself

Totally agree! Better still "may I have". (Sorry being very picky)

One can add 'Half spaces', 'Inverted full-backs', 'Beat the press', 'High line', 'Half-turn', 'DOGSO'.

we played with 'identity' and showed 'personality' usually in a broad Spanish accent that pronounces the consonants too softly if at all.

if someone says 'can I have a quick word' they're going to give you a b*ll*cking 99% of ther time.

quiet word = apology

word = bad news but it's not your fault
