Are there any phrases or jargon that you often see when describing football in forums especially Redcafe which you really can't stand? I'll start of with the famous three...
1) "Clearing the deadwood".
2) "Steadying the ship."
And the creme de la creme..
3) The United way.
I mean what the feck does that even mean? What is the United way?! Is employing ex-players and legends as manager and backroom staff the United way? Is playing attacking football with exciting wingplay the United way? Lots of other clubs managed to do that, so why is it the United way? By that logic, should we be calling Klopp's gegenpressing the Liverpool way?
So yeah, sorry about the short rant but I seriously cringe whenever I see the above phrases being mentioned on here.
Are there any more to add?
