pleased for James McCarthy and James McArthur (ex Hamilton Accies players) that they might stay up now.

This is good all round I think, means Arsenal will need to beat Chelsea this weekend.

Had forgotten that was coming up but I am now grateful to have to be in class/studying all weekend.

Glad I gave this one a miss as well. #fairweather

Fucking Man U and fucking Arsenal, curling up for Wigan like that. Bastards.
Assuming Wolves are down, and with Blackburn looking more and more likely, it's all about Bolton's games in hand to decide QPR's fate.

sweet mother of christ they've only gone and made lee mason (of derry/young fame) the fourth official for saturday's game at loftus road????????????????????????????????????????

I'll be 15 feet away from Mr Mason. Any advice you want me to offer him?

ask him not to be a cunt

When you shoot, you can look for the spaces between the posts and the goalkeeper," Suarez told LFC magazine. "But instinctively you usually aim for the corners, which means that there's a chance the ball might hit the post and I think we have hit the post more times than the crossbar.

"Sometimes this happens. As a striker, you can shoot from 25 yards and hit the post with a shot that is technically perfect."

always been the bane of my life doing things too well tbh

"missing" being compatible with "technically perfect" hmmmm

he's hit it too well if anything

it's almost as if you've found a footballer who doesn't have the perfect words to express what he means, contact nasa. if english was his native language this would be even more amazing.

― I'm going to allow this! (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 12:33 (1 year ago) Permalink

no, that's not the point. as Number None pointed out, the "hit it too well" cliche is a thing amongst Anglophone footballers/pundits too

― aboulia banks (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 12:35 (1 year ago) Permalink

It's not completely nonsensical, you might mean the connection and the hit itself rather than the result. Scuffed shots do go in.

― I'm going to allow this! (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 12:44 (1 year ago) Permalink

there's sort of a sense to it, but i've always found it to be one of the funnier commentary cliches

― Number None, Wednesday, 18 April 2012 12:45 (1 year ago) Permalink

the one i hate the most of late is people saying "unplayable" to describe a player who is so on form that you can't credibly compete against him. feels more common lately.

― I'm going to allow this! (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 12:48 (1 year ago) Permalink

fuck yes. HATE it and it's definitely become more common in recent years

― Number None, Wednesday, 18 April 2012 12:49 (1 year ago) Permalink

it's more annoying because i think they know it's wrong, it's the newness of it that seems to get them all saying it.

― I'm going to allow this! (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 12:54 (1 year ago) Permalink

Most often used to describe powerful striker types. Like i first noticed it being used a lot when Drogba was at his peak in the Premiership

often feel like we need to clone another garda to scorn the one-eyed bullshit the other comes out with sometimes

this is pretty bad, think it has a lot to do with drogba

no i wouldn't have slated hoy hoy, i actually believe my further argument in this case, hence why i don't think there was any great disagreement with number none.

i just think it was fairly pedantic even by ilx standards, not a big deal.

― I'm going to allow this! (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 13:13 (1 year ago) Permalink

there are times when drogba does look like hes impossible to contain and the term sort of makes sense

most of those times involve william gallas tho

its not as bad as the grayism

UNSTOPPABLE

UNSAVEABLE

IF U HAD THREE GOALIES U WOULDNT OF SAVED THAT

to me "unplayable" is wrong just because it's a negative term, like the match was "unplayable" due to adverse weather conditions. or he's "unplayable" due to an injury or something. it's passive, the thing it describes cannot be played, surely? for a player to be "unplayable" surely that would mean he was suspended or injured or shit? it's a really ugly word anyway...

syntactically it means play is transitive wrt to players, players can be played like for example if torres rapes vidic then it means vidic has been 'played'

yeah i guess in the modern sense of "play or get played" it does mean something, not sure your andy townsends are invoking this though.

messi is pretty unplayable.

I haven't heard "meat and drink" (or variants e.g. "food and drink") so much lately, which is meat and drink to me

iirc "unplayable" came from Triple H of WWE and the lyrics of his theme song "The Game" by Motorhead

they should start saying "meat and chips"

Penny for AVB's thoughts after that show of guts and character from Chelsea. Some of the old unplayable Drogba there tonight.

Many would have paid more than a penny for the thoughts of Villas-Boas if he was watching this game while the wounds heal from his sacking. He may have wondered how he could have failed so spectacularly to coax a performance on this scale from Chelsea during his nine months at the club.

nice to know he successfully refashions his twitter insights on the big stage, nult is unplayable at the business end of things

i may be misunderstanding youse leadig lights- it is my steez tbf- but i think the 'play' in playable (or otherwise) simply refers to 'having as opposition'. 'we're playing x next week', sort of thing. 'unplayable' just hyperbolises the concept of the difficulty of doing this with drogbascent opposition.

― diafiyhm (darraghmac), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 13:47 (1 year ago) Permalink

The key figures were Drogba, Terry and the indefatigable Lampard.

indefattiable more like amirite
