The most commonly used terms nowadays for commenting on things are 'disappointing' and 'disappointment'. No longer is anything outrageous, pathetic, fucking useless, shit, awful, unacceptable or plain crap. Instead, it is or was "disappointing".
In the last week, the Wigan footballer N'Zogbia dished out a head butt to Arsenal's Jack Wilshere. Here we have a talented played paid ludicrous amounts of money to kick and head a ball, but who decided to head butt a head instead. He got sent off, quite rightly. After the game, the manager (Roberto Martinez) referred to N'Zogbia's actions as "disappointing".
On 29th December, Roy Hodgson referred to Liverpool's shit performance as "disappointing". Criminal would have been a better term.
Mr Kaboul was sent off for Spurs on 28th December, and Harry Redknapp said, "I'm disappointed in Kaboul."
What is it with the world? In my world, it's a bit disappointing when for the tenth week in a row, I haven't even won a tenner on Lotto. That's a reasonable use of the word 'disappointing'. In the world of football, it seems that no one speaks the truth anymore. People will express disappointment at a performance, an action, an outcome or whatever. They'll describe things as disappointing time and time again. No one has the bollocks to say what's fuckin' obvious to the rest of the world! When a player is paid £80,000 per WEEK and has to play 2 games of football (at most) for that effort, it's a bit fuckin' lame for a manager to say he's "disappointed" when that player gets sent off for kicking another in the head!
