No one likes that one. It's why I don't use it.

Go more down the route of Cook is a useless clown, or Cook's floundering. Try to mix it up a bit to keep it fresh.

When commentators say one player is 'in and around' another player. Around, possibly: in, though?

Also 'into an area' as opposed to the rest of the pitch which is presumably not an area...?

The group...

Just say 'the squad' or 'team' or 'bunch of lads'.

'We've got a good group who blah blah......'

When a manager or player refers to the ‘group’…… you’re a team not a support network who meet once a week

But my worst is when a club is called ‘a project’….. so disrespectful

Every club that buys and sells players is a work in progress ffs.

‘Cook is failing’ is accurate. If he leaves today then he would have failed.

I still hate the use of the word 'group' in place of 'squad'.

Ipswich 0
Ipswich lost
League 1 Ipswich

I like "we go again" - used it last time I played football. We won convincingly, but at every kick the cry was "we go again, it's nil nil", no Oxford humbling or Derby County 2nd half fight backs. To which I credit that phrase.

[he's felt contact, so he's] "entitled to go down".

Either you can stay on your feet, or you can't. You don't get to choose whether or not you'd like a foul.

I think a shining example of doing one's best was Daryl Murphy a few years ago against Nodge. Running on to a ball over the top, and is impeded by Timm Klose. He tried to keep his footing and lost the opportunity, rather than going to ground and trying to blag the penalty.

I always assumed that the “group” thing was also including coaches and physios etc.

But yeah, there’s no real reason to say or mean “group of players” when you already have squad and team for that.

They know about football here (usually Liverpool)

I don't care what level it's at if you gone to enough games you'd have to be a complete eejit not to know something about the game.
