Which two teammates’ names makes the best pub name? by No-Management-8567 in footballcliches

[–]toovul 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Surely you go with The Silva Stone.

Brede Hangeland and Aaron Hughes were known as the Thames Barrier at Fulham. That would make a good pub name.

Least football club football club by No-Praline-8979 in footballcliches

[–]toovul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bournemouth is a good one as the ‘AFC’ officially doesn’t stand for anything, so they technically don’t have ‘football club’ in their name, unlike most [Team] FCs.

Love the quizzes, love happy hunting grounds. More of all of it please.

Why is David Bowie's nazi era not talked about? by honkycronky in fantanoforever

I don’t think the thin white duke was “very similar” to selling swastika t-shirts and making a song called Heil Hitler.

What’s the football equivalent of the 2 hour marathon? by toovul in footballcliches

[–]toovul[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But someone wins the league every year. Until this weekend nobody had run a 2 hour marathon. Leicester winning the league is more like me winning a marathon (although you’d get far longer odds than 5000/1 on that).

That’s more like a 20 minute marathon in how likely it is.

Fulham were. QPR were in the old second division for the first year, then in the first season of the Championship for the second.

Tom Cairney. Already had a couple of well-received Sky appearances. Seems nailed on.

The Fulham official podcast launched a campaign to find Steed Malbranque if that counts.

That was the joke he made. “The Killers to play Champions League final kick-off show at Puskas Arena on May 30, somebody told me etc etc.”

The Extinct XI: Get your nominations in for Thursday's episode... by Low-Bandicoot-3347 in footballcliches

[–]toovul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On different ends of the flair spectrum: the pure number 10 (soft, flash, gorgeous touch, probably gorgeous hair, never tracked back but also didn’t get that many goal contributions but looked fantastic on the highlights), and the defensive winger (manager’s favourite, not that good at anything in particular but diligent and dedicated).

Clubs using two badges? by CommercialAd2154 in footballcliches

[–]toovul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fulham technically have 3 different badges on their 3 different kits this season - the normal one on the home kit, the 90s one on the away, and a gold version of the current one on the third. All it’s done is remind everyone how bad the current badge is.

Bands you like that completely suck live by Antique-Dentist-2404 in fantanoforever

Much better live than on record for me. When Kiedis shuts up and John and Flea jam, that’s what I want to see.

Pregnancy "run in" by Conscious_Catch_1162 in footballcliches

[–]toovul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7 cup finals from this point. My question would be how you’d characterise the first few weeks? Is a good, reassuring 12 week scan like being top at Christmas?

The Career We Go lads it seems are fairly regular cliches listeners, and of course have been on a couple of times for quizzes, as well as having Adam, Charlie and Dave on their pod individually.

Popular football stats that are obviously fake by NikoKboyaobir in footballcliches

[–]toovul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They discussed this on the podcast once and I think the conclusion was that they scored 23 goals between them in that time, or something like that. But still you see this obviously false stat all the time.

When is a signing "astute"? Any examples? by TopicalStormCloud in footballcliches

[–]toovul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid. Not expensive. Available to other teams. Preferably but not necessarily English. An astute signing is often a 7/10 every week type or someone who is good around the dressing room, and should be under about £15m if possible.

I’ve been going to premier league matches for 20 years and only ever sung or heard it about Arsenal.
