the media convincing people that the income their clubs have secured, or have lost out on, is the real story

Winston Biscuit the amount of replays shown on telly of a goal or an incident


This happened in the Playoff between Sheffield United and Sunderland. The Sheffield United player had a shot on target (header I think), and then a player was pretty badly injured so there was a long stop in play.

I swear they played the same chance from multiple angles about 20 times in a 5 minute period. It was really annoying.

Over recent week, everyone on Sky saying how many PL matches they'll be showing next season and then repeating it every couple of minutes, before cutting to an add break that says exactly the same thing.

Yes, we get it!.

How long it takes for a trophy to be presented now.

I checked footage, and for the 1981 cup final, the time between the game ending and the cup being lifted was only three minutes.

This season, from the game ending to the official on the pitch presentation, took 29 minutes.

Even if you count just the time to collect the trophy up the steps from whichever dignitary presented it this year, took 21 minutes.

It's all about a non-sexist phrase that can be used for men's and women's football, presumably.
