So it's that time of the season when a minnow (us) goes up against a giant (Chelsea) and the clueless lazy jouno's trot out a plethora of patronising quotes to describe us and our performance. Where shall we start?
Keep in mind this David v Goliath is more like David turns up with his sling shot and three pebbles whilst Goliath is taking no chances and backs up his sword/spear and shield with a few Cruise missiles.

Brave.
A great advert for lower league football. (not strictly an adjective).

I'm sure we'll be 'brave' at some point during the evening, and 'spirited'. Someone (probably one of the junior players) will do something 'gallantly' and, all being well, we will also 'forget to read the script'.
And the national press will also refer to us as 'The Robins', despite no one at the club - management, players or fans - ever having used this nickname ourselves. When was the last time you heard 'Come on the Robins!' in the Town End? Seriously?

The media seem to be doing this for practically every manager and team now. |
