What wonderful gibberish was uttered during the commentary yesterday, for the match between Doncaster Rovers and Sheffield United. It typified the 'football-speak' so prevalent these days. The following were all from Martin Keown.
"Let's see if there's something in their locker"
"He showed good quality on his strike"
"He's very calm in the build-up then gets on his bike"
" . . . down the left hand side, and at the end of it, I like his quality"
"Good quality, hasn't he"
"At the moment, Sheffield Utd are not playing football"
"There's no real tempo to their game"
"They're just trying to raise that tempo now"
"Every time you come here to watch them play, it's great to see them play football"
"They've had that philosophy of passing the ball"
The art of better English, as demonstrated by Mr Keown
