Love Enzo Fernández - he's a real Fray Bentos of a midfielder.

Fray Bentos the famous Cuban leader.

Players used to "waltz" thru the opposition defence.

Where are all the " box to box" players these days ?

He's different gravy

We're talking about football cliches something you're very fond of proper Chels is used for good reasons.

Your constant digs at ‘proper Chels’ is aimed at the core support of the club, without those the club you have become attached to from afar wouldn’t exist.

To be perfectly honest I find the contextual use of Proper Chels and/or Minerals to be utterly, utterly cringe. Particularly from the set of fans that continue to use it. 

It's actually aimed towards a certain fanbase that believe they are holier than thou whilst having some truly awful football takes. Supporting the club since the 70s or being a season ticket/match going fan doesn't excuse asinine reasoning. These same blokes are wanting a midfield three of Gallagher, Rice, and Mount because they are all proper Chels or wanting a Mourinho 3.0 return. 

 

You're tying two things together that have no correlation.

 

Does anyone have a wicked 'proper Chels' tattoo design by any chance? Asking for a friend

I bet you Googled that and no one would ever claim to be proper Chels and then start going on about formations you haven't a clue mate stick to the nerdy posts I bet you take notes when you're watching a game. As for minerals I've never seen it mentioned on here and is usually a word used in comedy shows taking the piss out of blokes pretending to be geezers that's not the US geezer or a hot spring y'all..

Yeah mate that's what I did. I googled it. 😄

You're a grown man getting rattled by people using the term pivot and calling them nerds. Get a grip.

I have a desk job, no wonder I sometimes feel I don't count, I should stand up more often! 

Important career tip, thanks Mr. Moyes!

When you stand up at your desk does someone behind you shout 

" SID DAHN"....

🤣

He’s got good pace...why not say he’s fast?

 

Good touch for a big man...

Conversely why no sh*t touch for a short arse

Perhaps I should ask a colleague to do that, good practice for my next match, I will need it for when something exciting is happening! Perhaps even twice!

Thanks for thinking ahead @The Rising Sun 

Bit off subject. A great sketch.

I have a sit/stand desk at work. I often stand at it but sadly I haven't been counted, dammit. Or have I been

I have one of those desks as well, now that you mention it. 

The worst football phrase of recent years the one I hate the most well two actually both I think started by that used car salesman Harry Redknapp he's a top top player why not just say elite you don't say he's in top top form well Harry might. But the one that I detest is putting a shift in the thing about football parlance is if one person says it they all start parroting it the likes of Jenas, Murphy etc. A junior doctor or an Amazon warehouse worker on minimum wage puts a shift in not someone who runs around of 90 minutes and gets paid £250,000 for doing it.

When the 1st Division became the Premiership commentary immediately became hyperbolic. Andy Gray “ Wow. Just look at that throw in”

What was previously a big match became a massive, massive match.

Power sliding onto knees after scoring, that moronic bouncing up and down on the spot when you’ve won something; sheepish brain dead behaviour by anyone’s yardstick.

The latest fad is pointing your forefinger at your temple when you’ve scored. Apparently it started with tennis player Stan Wawrinka. It’s become Rashfords trademark- Joffra the fast bowler now does it when he takes a wicket.

When asked by a journalist what it means Joffra replies with an absolute pearler “ I don’t actually now. I copied if from Rashford and he seems like a smart guy”

Everything out of Neville or Carraghers mouths seems to be, Absolulely brilliant. What a brilliant pass..
