On the break - is now in transition

Made a goal - is now an assist

Injury time - is now added time

Linesman - Assistant Referee

4th official - What?!

VAR - Double What?!

Anymore that if, I could, mention to my Dad today he wouldn't have a clue what I was on about despite being a fan his whole life?

Never, but then 'goalkeeper distribution' was one or two bounces and a ginormous hoof.

ACL - unheard of, never mind injuring them
Never hear of a metatarsal either until Beckham broke one

'The group' is a phrase invented by Sean Dyche.

My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

Wasn't it just known as closing down?

It's being so happy that keeps me going.

When I was growing up in Ireland we had a high press in our kitchen

It was where all the goodies were kept so us kids couldn't reach them

False 9 - a striker playing deep

Looking after the football - keeping possession

Yes, or the manager bellowing from the sidelines,

Minutes - in terms of time a player is getting on the pitch.

Wasn't this getting games under their belt or such like some years ago now it's "minutes"

We used to be told that footballers would be taking a 'fitness test' before KO to see if they could play.

Now, '"We have to look at the data, talk to the medical people, see how they 'present' in the morning" !!!!!!!

The one which really grinds my gears is: "There was contact". So what? If a fly lands on my arm, there is contact, but not necessarily enough to render me incapable of what I was doing and make me collapse in a heap.

Ashley Young, I am looking at you.

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."
