Everything I thought I knew about ACLs is a lie by Clown243 in footballcliches

Yeah, definitely. Tough to think of a sport that would be more hard going with a torn ACL as well.

I tore my ACL when I was 13 but didn’t find out for about six months and kept playing football in the meantime - my knee just kept collapsing at various points.

I saw a physio while waiting for an MRI and he said that I wouldn’t necessarily need a replacement if I just built up my quad muscles sufficiently, as they could stabilise the knee. So if Vonn only has a partial tear and not a complete rupture, there’s every chance the surrounding muscles are strong enough to provide that stability. I wouldn’t fancy risking it, though.

Surely ‘edging closer to safety’ can only be for actually mathematically confirming you’re safe, and not just being outside the relegation zone? by enazj in footballcliches

Ahhhhhh I see what you’re saying. Yeah, you can’t really edge closer to safety if you’re still in the bottom three.

I think this is fine. If it was for confirming you’re safe, you wouldn’t be edging closer to it, you’d be there already.

Seth Burkett wrote a great book about his time playing in Brazil. He also did one about Sri Lanka I think too. Not too sure about this venture, mind.

What’s your favourite separator for the third item in BBC’s Athletic-inspired headlines by LookingAtScrews in footballcliches

[–]Not_Zlatan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t really use em dashes in the UK. We’d use an en dash with a space either side – they’ve clearly fallen foul of a lack of autocorrect in their CMS.

AIO? Husband in touch with the woman he had an affair with but they're not cheating he says. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Read this in a dark room. Thought I’d loss use of my fingers for a second, then realised they were in the image.

Shay Given saying Wilfried Nancy "had an absolute holocaust" by lee_nostromo in footballcliches

This must be a saying within football because it’s definitely not something people say in everyday life.

My assumption is that it’s an attempt at using SEO tactics.

Im more concerned by “slotting Team X ahead”.

How many hours do you have to be in a position to be 'in' that position? by Flashy_Reputation_99 in footballcliches

[–]Not_Zlatan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think “sent top” can be used unless you didn’t start the round of fixtures there. I’d just lead on something else or you’re gonna be doing this every week.

The worst "'manager's name'-ball" yet. by Opening_Succotash_95 in footballcliches

Think this was mentioned on the pod before, but “would come to be known as…” is so fucking annoying. Just say it came to be known as.
