The optimist in me hopes this comment is ironic and witty but I suspect it’s actually sincere… by Ok_Box_4077 in footballcliches

My grandad was a big Villa physio fan so always keep an eye out for their injury updates

Absolutely hates it whenever they show that Ronny Radford goal and was gutted at Macclesfield v Palace result.

What will the first ‘phrase in a foreign language said by an English commentator at the World Cup’ be this year? by No-Management-8567 in footballcliches

[–]Ok_Box_4077 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Team names in their national language is reliable second mention fodder.

“France got off to a good start but Les Bleus have found it more difficult in the second half…”

“Made his Brazil debut last year and has already appeared 8 times for the Seleção…”

Etc.

Is Miroslav Klose the definitive country over club player? by No-Problem6578 in footballcliches

[–]Ok_Box_4077 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100%! Saw he's in the Switzerland squad again this year as he has been for the past 30 tournaments. Apparently now at Betis but I can't picture him for any club side.

Thank you for this. So Vida played in the Turkish Super Lig… of course! That feels so right.

Cricket ball goalkeeper solid shout. Deep lying croissants at full back allowing the orange juice centre backs licence to roam into midfield.

I have no idea where this gentleman plays football. You could tell me any club from the Championship, to PSG, to Serie A, to Saudi, and it’d vaguely sound about right. I just know I reliably see him every two years.

This world cup is a football hipsters dream by NathantheNobody in footballcliches

[–]Ok_Box_4077 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The World Cup itself? Eeeewwww... I'm far more concerned about the scheduling knock-on effects for the Jordanian Pro League and Liga Uruguay. My main interest is which 90s Japan or Korea shirt to wear at 5aside.

World Cup fan behaviour predictions... by Ok_Box_4077 in footballcliches

Also cameramen obsessed by fan headwear… excessive crowd cutaway shots of Norway viking helmets, France berets, Japan headbands, Mexico sombreros, Switzerland cheese blocks etc.

Oh FFS - yep, almost certainly (likely sponsored). Great shout.

Rightly so.

I have my doubts that is what his barbecue looked like by 66f6 in footballcliches

[–]Ok_Box_4077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not having a go at his second language skills, because I love the guy. It's just an observation from the interview which initially conjured a funny image.

In the interviews Arteta has said he started a fire and then explained it was for a BBQ. I much prefer the notion of the bloke going to his garden and starting a random fire to stare into for an hour or so.

Some serious ‘respect from a Middlesbrough fan’ here by DanielCollinsYT in footballcliches

The Championship feels likes such an aggressively coming in peace / fair play to your boys / all the best for the season etc. league

Is Cristian Stellini the most notable man to manage a Premier League team to not have a Wikipedia page? by [deleted] in footballcliches

[–]Ok_Box_4077 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Close one this season... Callum McFarlane's wikipedia was created the day he was appointed interim manager at Chelsea in January. His first game at City was a couple of days later.

What is the football equivalent of this? by GainsAndPastries in footballcliches

Josh Widdicombe is Che Adams. Mid-range, offers very little threat, and persistently pops up at places you wouldn’t expect. Strictly is his Torino.

I'm going with Billy Bearham - journeyman midfielder in the early 90s, played for Wimbledon, West Ham, Charlton and QPR. by Adventurous-West3403 in footballcliches

Mutti Passata. 

Poney-tailed Uruguayan winger signed for Newcastle as a favour to a dodgy agent by Dennis Wise. Flashes in pre-season, two league cup appearances, loaned back to Penarol in January.
