    The gist of heh article is about things shouted by Sunday morning players – but I’ve heard many from our crowd too.

    Quite amusing – and make sure you read the comments at the end because there are some great additions:

      This one reduced me to tears of laughter. I was laughing that much I had snot bubbles coming out of my nostrils…

      Played with a mad bastard at centre-half years ago who had some form of Tourette’s; bellowing (frequently obscene) non-sequiturs at moments of great stress, which as we know is about every 22 seconds on a Sunday football pitch. And yet all his outbursts seemed to “fit” with the rest of the nonsense, “hold”, “turn”, “simple simple”, “foot through it” “lost our shape, lads” – and of course the one I sport as a handle…So, the best one: we’re somehow 2-1 up v a far superior lot, last minute, corner, as it comes over, he charges out to meet the arcing ball, soars and bullets it away while screaming “FAKKING INCEST!!!!”

      The Guardian still on the topic of cliches.

      I got 12 out of 15 – sick as a parrot :(
