"The pay-as-you-play deal" - whenever a potential signing is rumoured or suggested who is obviously a) too fcking old, b) too fcking expensive, c) qualifying for a hip replacement on the NHS, d) one of life's genuine arseholes who's blown up every dressing room he's ever been in, instead of dismissing the idea out of hand one is duty bound to suggest a pay-as-you-play deal. That he wouldn't accept this, and that this doesn't really exist, is irrelevant.
"Digging down" - whenever discussing the merits of a new stadium, of trying to redevelop the one we already have, one is duty bound to suggest digging Loftus Road down into the ground. The fact this would also dig it down into the water table and effectively create a world leading water polo venue for a good six months a year is also irrelevant. Will also accept "building out over South Africa Road" and "adding a revolving restaurant".
"Les was crap to start with as well" - whenever debating the ability or otherwise of a new striker, due consideration must always be given to the fact Les Ferdinand was total dog sht when he first got here. Please see three years of Conor Washington debate, or 17 pages (and counting) on Lyndon Dykes' move to Birmingham.

That response should be in the glossary on its own.
We went down last, eight points adrift.
They went down third bottom, three points adrift.
If we'd beaten Hull 86-0 on the first day of the season it would have made the following differences.
We would have gone down third bottom, five points adrift.
They would have gone down bottom, six points adrift.

"Missed redevelopment opportunities": Rangers could now be playing in a 30,000 all-seater stadium in W12, if they’d shown a bit of vision and bought the Dairy Crest site, Television centre, the Territorial Army site, the Jack Tizard school site, the Grange Hill school site, the freehold to the Springbok, the Linford Christie stadium, HMP Wormwood Scrubs, and/or Holland Park roundabout. |  |

Surprised nobody has posted yet....
'A mate of mine' = This is the standard precursor to a totally unsubstantiated transfer rumour, generally linking us to a player we can't afford or who has already just signed for Barnsley. Normally involves some mention of a place / person at the club to add authenticity. Eg: 'My mate who regularly delivers toilet rolls to the training ground got talking to the security guy and apparently we're in for Billy The Fish from Melchester Rovers if we can move Steve Slade on before deadline'. In some cases, the term 'mate of a mate' is used - in which case the poster in question has either dreamt it or made it up.
'ITK' = I Talk Krap. |  |

There's a good player in there somewhere. |
Also reckon the opposite of this sentiment deserves a mention: "he's useless, clearly never going to make it at Championship level, looks like he's never played football before, get rid of him, another disaster by Les / Hoos / Nourry, the entire club's doomed" after a new player has 15 minutes off the bench in a pre-season friendly, having signed from Atletico Timbuktu an hour before kickoff and speaking three words of English, and doesn't immediately play like prime period Taarabt.

Leeds are still kicking themselves for not buying the Yorkshire Dales before they became a national park. With a bit of ingenuity, they could have built a 4 million all-seater stadium on that site with a fu ck-off car park and a bowling alley. They could have been the most massive club in the world and not just in West Yorks. Missed opportunities. | |

'In my opinion...' absolutely not an opinion. It is actually a statement of absolute, immutable universal law. To contradict such would be to invite public ridicule. This is seen primarily in statements concerning John Terry, all political threads and whenever I mention Dom Ball. |

'Boils my piss...' absolutely understandable reaction to anything Jack Colback does or accidentally hearing a Mumford & Sons song.
'He's League 1 at best...' description of any player at any time (2008 to date) the minute they give away a throw-in. This judgement, once rendered, is permanently applied and only ever temporarily suspended in the case of a last minute winner / hat-trick / multimillion pound transfer / England caps.
'What exactly does Ferdinand do...!?' Now defunct aimless rage dump when faced with the inexplicable failure of QPR to achieve Champions League status or Scarlett Johansen fails to return my calls / emails / crude potato-printed banners tied to roundabouts. Call me Scarlett, yeah? |  |

Suggesting any ex-player who was half decent for us and is now available on a free transfer should be brought back in, regardless of whether they've played 10 or 100 games since they left us and were or weren't any good for other clubs. |
Absolutely this, file in the collective 'NOSTALGIA' draw. Already mentioned I know but see also:
'Clint Hill as defensive coach'
And as recently as when Critchley was the manager and every manager prior who wasn't Holloway:
'Ollie is available, we could do worse than bringing in to do a job and steady the ship' |  | | |

I’m guilty as charged on this one but ‘he just needs one to go in off his arse’.
The last time i can remember a goalshy striker having one go in and spark a run of goals was Patrick ‘Wu-Tang’ Agyemang…. |

“Long time lurker”
A member of the ‘Loft For Words’ forum for considerable length of time but contributes to a thread a maximum of once every three years; usually to complain about misogyny or support a stadium-wide smoking ban. On the very unlikely event of a LTL’s post being linked to a football related matter, expect it to be both wrong and absolute cliched twaddle (ex. “I’d like to see Ainsworth get a whole season under his belt so he can bring in his own people). Likely to inexplicably use real name as moniker. Expect LTL’s post to be ‘down-arrowed’ to double figures ensuring no further contribution until 2027. | | | |
