I’ve never understood this comment, especially as its universally spoken about a predominantly left footed player.
He’s got a wand of a left foot.
He’s got a sweet left foot.
He’s got a fair left foot on him.
Cracking left peg.All phrases coined to elaborate on the fact that a left footed footballer can kick a ball well with his left foot. But why? Isn’t that a requirement?
Baffles me, what other phrases get on your nerves eh?

A bit like Ramis who rattled that one in with his left on Tuesday night, but who – according to at least one poster on this forum – has no left foot and should be playing on the right of the three centre halves… ;)
Edit: ‘You’re not coming near me with that tiny thing’ – that’s the phrase that winds me up the most.
“Get [stuck] in him” – Not sure I want to see that.
“Shoot” – When facing goal but 40 yards out.
“Bloody hell Teale” – Do people still say that one?

One swallow and all that … jury out on his defensive rigour, even Salford Latic no longer totally convinced if he understand his recent post (if Ramis doesn’t make it as a centre back, then attack, etc.)
Granted a good goal last night, but still very much in the RED for me,
lets see, eh … ??Alcaraz, Figueroa + Caldwell / Ramis for me at Sunderland.
JPC01 – nothing whatsoever related to the content of your posts, but I have to say that your writing style intrigues me. It’s almost as if you’re composing a telegram.
You’re not an ex-army radio mon, are you? ;)

“He has an educated left foot” was, I think the original, stupid comment of this ilk and it never made sense. It’s a bit right foot-ist, don’t you think?
“He’s come inside the defender” always makes me a bit nauseous too.
But, thanks for the heads up JD, you’ve given me an idea for a blog.
No probs Griff, I have to tell you though, ‘My left foot’ has been done, and it had nothing to do with football, was it an educated left foot though?!

It’s nothing to do with swallows (or Amazons for that matter), it a comment on how he reputedly has no left foot but still managed to rattle one in with his left foot/wand/peg from twenty five yards out.
As I’ve said before, if he’s playing as a centre half his foot preference has no bearing on which side of the three he should be playing as he’s not required to go haring up the wing and cross the ball in. Or, by the same token, the left sided centre half should be left footed, the right sided should be right footed, and the central man should be proficient with both feet.
I didn’t go the game on Tuesday, but I’ve been informed that Ramis was solid – and you can’t ask for much more than that.
Christy Brown was very good with his left foot !
” And surprisingly Germany are out ” is quite annoying !
Or any John Motson commentary !Not football related, The one that annoys me the most is.
“And he/she turned around and said”
Insinuating that someone span around and then proclaimed what it is they said.

Try telling that to someone with spiralitis.
Try telling that to someone with spiralitis.I had one of them when I was little. Got it for Christmas, I think.

Not many on here old enough to know what you’re on about there ;)
I hate it when pundits, managers or players say ‘he’s went for the ball’.
He has went? :blink:
