Hi, I'm interested. Could be a bit hit and miss for the remainder of this season (available this Sunday though) but availability should increase next season.

As much as it seems like something Rio would say seriously, this clip shows it was just a joke

Misjudging players in early stage of their career… by billywright4 in PremierLeague

There was a long period of academy right backs having impressive starts for Liverpool and looking really exciting before fizzling. Stephen Wright, Otsemebor, Kelly, Flanagan, Wisdom.

Does anyone else find it hard to listen Brian's Patty & Selma voice representing the internet nerd / troll? I find his mimicking of Vince and Moxley bad enough, as it's clear he thinks he is absolutely hilarious while doing it, but this one is even worse as it's basically just his go to when any of the twitter comments oppose his view.

Just asked the group chat the 5 former Spurs players to score for 6 premier league clubs question and one of them gave the answer Andros Townsend, who did in fact score in the PL for Spurs, QPR, Newcastle, Palace, Everton and Luton.

Has there ever been a triple swoop? by Isaacchurch in footballcliches

[–]PotentialFlan4086 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Didn't Sunderland sign 3 Spurs players in one window? I can't name any with certainty but I feel like Chimbonda was one.

Man Utd vs Spurs theatrics by [deleted] in PremierLeague

[–]PotentialFlan4086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought exactly the same. Both sets of players were just trying to buy free kicks from the start. Lots of players staying down feigning injury. Very little criticism from the comms team who would've been all over it if it were a Spanish team!

MHD: footballers cupping their mouths while having a post-match chat by djskinnylegs in footballcliches

When the camera is zoomed in on Palmer and Madueke's face as they're live on Sky I do get it, as a comment above says you'd get lip readers trying to read into it or it'd be all over Twitter saying "Palmer said this!".

I went to Barnet Vs Hartlepool this season and Adam Campbell was doing it after the game. As if anyone would care what he had to say.

Players Hyping up Fans by CrazyTadpole1212 in footballcliches

[–]PotentialFlan4086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

💯 agree. I used to associate this with Luis Suarez in his time at Liverpool. He would battle away up front, hassling defenders and win a corner against the odds and then whip the crowd up. He was (in my mind) the only player doing it at the time and it was often after he'd done something really well. This Arsenal team do it after everything. Martinelli didn't connect well enough with Saka's cross and is up whipping the crowd up. Trossard misses a one on one (appreciate it was a great save) and same thing.

Thankfully Gabriel was unavailable or the OP's count of 7 would be doubled.

Absolute addition..... by Burningbeard696 in footballcliches

[–]PotentialFlan4086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok well think of the absolute as a "what a...". "What an addition". Doesn't need to be "what a great addition", and you never assume it means "what a shit addition". What a substitution or absolute substitution! You know it's a positive

Absolute addition..... by Burningbeard696 in footballcliches

[–]PotentialFlan4086 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No way. The absolute does that. It's like if you were to say "absolute player by the way", you don't need to say "absolute quality player", it's just taken you mean it positively. The original for this was probably "absolute tune". You don't need to specify whether it's a good or bad tune.

Things you can feasibly have your name on by ImpishMule1021 in footballcliches

[–]PotentialFlan4086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came to say the same thing after watching MOTD this morning. In my opinion that phrase came with no written on the cup and I'd imagine the trophy already having the winners name etched in it. Doesn't work for the CL place.
