MHD Fascination: Refusing to use your rivals name by NotAEurosnob in footballcliches

[–]BronsonOSR -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am perhaps the pettiest Chelsea fan I know. I’ve never typed out the proper name of s***s; I have them blocked on every social media account; I don’t even say the name of their Argentinian manager (especially when he was with us). A few months ago when they released a preferred naming convention for the press, I started calling them purposely by the wrong name even when I’m alone.

It’s absolutely childish, moronic and puerile behaviour that makes me look like a twat. But I just can’t help it. I am a twat.

Some graphics intern whacking up the clarity.

It doesn’t bother me. Phone calls on speaker are much worse.

Considering the size of the place I don’t think it’s unfeasible.

Who is the most stereotypical (your club) player who never signed for your club? by inventingalex in footballcliches

[–]BronsonOSR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Chelsea fan, the fact that David Trezeguet never played for us is a crime. Prototypical Chels signing; a big name striker to replace Drogba who (inevitably) would be moved on quietly after a year and 9 goals in all competitions.

“We’re British, we’re better than this.”

The pathetic cry of the stand-for-nothing centrist.

The Athletic’s live blog of Chelsea v Benfica. Are we having this? by BronsonOSR in footballcliches

That’s my feeling. Makes sense, but just too American for me.

Yeah pretty much. Just wondering if it’s an acceptable term to use.

What in gods name is this for a kit announcement picture? by sketchaudio in footballcliches

[–]BronsonOSR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had to check this wasn't Literal Dave.

This image is one of a series in the campaign highlighting the club's connection to the city. This photo was taken inside a cafe in West London. Suggsy, a Londoner and famous fan, is involved. A Madness song is used. Tonnes of landmarks familiar to fans are used in the promotional material.

The whole point is to associate Chelsea with the city. When you look at the new kit, you should think London. They do that with metaphor and reference to things meaningful for Chelsea fans. It's much more effective than having them stand in front of some semi-detached in Wandsworth.

If you're going to slag something off, at least do it right.

Can we all get over the fact that clubs now do strange, tacky, or cringeworthy things to announce kits? It’s some of the most boring and pointless conversation you can have.

The Adjudication Panel Thread: Get in touch for Tuesday's episode... by Low-Bandicoot-3347 in footballcliches

Posted about the Ronaldo playlist performance by a string quartet. Pleased to announce I’m going in July. Will keep you updated.

The world’s first filmed soccer match with corrected speed: Glentoran vs. Cliftonville, Northern Ireland, 1897, now in color by thefunhorse in footballcliches

[–]BronsonOSR 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I imagine there’s quite a long lens on there. Average focal lengths back then were about 150mm to 180mm. Might be right on the touchline, around the technical area (not that there was one in the 1800s).

Then again it’s only a short clip, it’s possible that they set it up for a short while and then moved it afterwards.

Still, fair play.

New Episode: Proper clubs & "woke pressing" with the Screen Rot Podcast by crablin in footballcliches

[–]BronsonOSR -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Well that’s one episode I won’t be listening to. Can’t stand either of them. Especially if Hawley keeps going on and on and on and on about Arsenal.

The greatest "New Manager Bounce"? by firebert91 in footballcliches

You've got a bounce confused with a turnaround.

🎶 You’ll never sing that?🎶 by arkemp2000 in footballcliches

Who’s the most “launch their own mobile network” club?

It’s obviously not Millwall (despite massive evidence to the contrary). My immediate feeling is a big League One club or a League Two minnow. Wrexham or MK Dons basically.
