LFW Message Board Glossary 17:05 - Aug 29 with 37416 views | Northernr | "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. ... | | | | |

See also "Just Back..." (posted at 16:47): signifies either a) the poster has something controversial to say and wants to back it up with the patina of respect of having been to a game they weren't at or b) the poster lives in the club shop. | | | |

LFW Message Board Glossary on 16:06 - Sep 1 with 2764 views | GroveR | "You don't play for Man Utd unless you're decent" Easily countered by pointing out the ones that end up at Rangers are either a) clapped-out old warhorses here for a final cashout (Rio Ferdinand, Park Ji-sung), b) callow young children whose experience amounts to "cookin' at rondo" on billiard-like academy pitches (Sean Goss, Will Keane, "Nards" Nardiello) or c) were genuinely shìt and stole a living from both clubs (Fábio, Macheda). Beware when casually using a-c) to shoot a poster down as they may invoke the "Danny Simpson Paradox" (evidence an ex Man Utd player can come here and be good, at least until the PlayDoh-jowelled manager releases him to play a back 3 he has neither the players nor intelligence to execute). | | | |

Did everybody see that stunning goal its just another example of his talent just incredible. How did he not get sold before Olise is beyond me (ML is an excellentplayer also ) but Eze is a step above .The sky is the limit IMO. Que the crotch grabbing wa*k fest | | | |

Probably, one of the top 10 games to reminisce, when all to play for we, incredibly, put 6 past Palace, one of those scorers was Kulscar, for crying out loud, and the suggestion, allegedly, is that, maybe Miller, maybe, could have done better. | |
