“Player trading” |  |

Kieran talking about the need to build emotional bonds and relationships; Ashton saying “we’ve always liked player trading”, as if they’re all just interchangeable pawns on his chessboard. | |

One that mildly annoys me is referring to the squad as "the group". Not sure why. |  |

As always, and it's the same with managers, players et al.
I'm far less interested in their words and more interested in their actions. | |

‘Professional foul’
‘Simulation’
Wording as if either is a legitimate thing to do. |  | | |

It is all a bit 'corporate' in terms of language, no question.
Hard to argue he (and the wider owners) aren't doing their part. | |

Fan base
Whatever buzzword fans suddenly latch on to to make it sound as if they know what they’re talking about. E.g. ‘double pivot’. We called those defensive midfielders not so long ago, and before that midfielders or the number 6. I first noticed the buzzword trend with ‘jockeying’; it was heard everywhere and then never mentioned again. |  |

Fanbase - you beat me to it.
Only when we have a stadium with a capacity of around 900,000 for the whole of Suffolk, a few expats, a bunch of Fortuna fans and a bunch of Dutch people with fond memories of 80's football to attend matches together, will the word fanbase be used correctly most of the time. |  | | |

“No one should go to a football game and not come home”. As if going to football should grant you immortality.
“Stadium bowl” where there’s no bowl and there’s just four unconnected stands. |  |

Bloody hell. Not asking for immortality but not being unlawfully killed is a fairly basic request. |  |

He means in regards to people having medical episodes in the ground and passing away and I agree. |  |

Profitable player trading is one way our owners will get a financial return on their investment. | |

Bowyer, Chopra and Thatcher, in that order.
I wouldn't even speak to any of them if I was in the same room as them, whereas I would happily have a bit of a laugh with Iwan Roberts or Grant Holt. Maybe even Chris Sutton, in order to remind him of the time Terry Butcher put him on his backside.
I would draw the line at Eadie, Bellamy and Huckerby, though. | | | |
