    ?Transition?- counter attack!!

    My 16 yearold nephew started talking to me about football at a family outing last year. He referred to a midfielder as a CDM and pronounced Defence in the American way. I thought right never talk football to this lad ever again.

    When toe punt is referred to anything else except a toe punt - come on, we all know what it was and it doesn't matter. Stop trying to tart it up.

    Anything Bruno Fernandez does is 'sublime'.
    5 yrd sideways pass. Sublime.

    Scoring a goal from just outside the box, a goal scored by 100% of all professional Premier League level Central Midfielders, 'conjured a sublime strike from the very top draw'.

    A none cartel club player smashes in a banger from 40 yrs 'It's a good strike.' Then claiming that the cartel defence should have done better.

    Clowns one and all!

    To continue - high turnover, it's come across from American football.

    Turnover should relate to money.

    Yeah the whole Ameri-speak has come in from the US stat and data driven approach to the game.

    All the XG,XA guff is straight out of grid iron.
