26.11.10 Aggravation

Mr Roy Hodgson, the Liverpool Manager, was interviewed on 20th November after a 3-0 win over West Ham, with the three goals all being scored in the first half.  He was of course pleased with the result, but used a curious turn of phrase:

"It's a shame that in the second half we couldn't aggravate the score"

What?  Can you imagine the half-time team talk in the dressing room?  "Come on Stevie, Fernando, we've got them on the run.  Keep it tight, lads, don't make any silly mistakes, and let's push forward.  I'd like you all to try to aggravate the score."

Jolly good show, splendid, what!
