    Attention all manager, players and pundits

    'at this moment in time'.....?

    Stop saying it. It's shit. Genuine frontier gibberish.

    There is a phrase for what you're trying to say.

    Namely: at the moment.

    See also 'in this moment'

    Wankers.

    Sorry. bugbear of mine.

    As you were.

    What about the ignorant people who start sentences with ‘Look’ or ‘Listen’.

    Backstop. An Americanism to prevent balls leaving the playing area.

    Corporate speak. I hate it. We've all heard them.

    Blue sky thinking

    Pick the low hanging fruit

    Run it up the flagpole and see how it flies

    Cascade

    Data migration (sounds like fkn wildebeasts)

    Calling out

    De-risk

    Keep me in the loop.

    Paradigm moving

    Take it offline

    Ducks in a row

    Look under the bonnet

    Helicopter view

    Strategic staircase

    Square the circle

    Reach out

    When i worked in the pub and we had to go to to the big meetings, a few of us would play bingo with loads of these see who could get them all first.

    Without fail, at least 5 or 6 of them would be said in first 20 mins
