    Don’t know if it’s been mentioned or not but ‘pockets of space’.

    Adam Phillips is very good at it.

    “In the final third….” - last time I looked, a football pitch had two halves.

    “Game day”. This isn’t American football or baseball. Match day is the correct expression.

    “The jersey”. It’s a shirt.

    It's not even a shirt is it. More a breathable polyester sports top laced with occasional spandex.

    "Happy with a draw" "A draw's a good result"

    No it isn't. A win is a good result. A draw is average and a defeat is crap. Always has been, always will.

    A draw is a great result when you're 3-0 down with 20 minutes to go, equally it's an awful result when you're 3-0 up with 20 minutes to go.

    "Saved by the woodwork"

    No, hitting it anywhere but in the goal is a miss. The woodwork is immovable, it didn't lower itself down a few inches just to deny a goal. Arslhoes.

    The constant fly in our ointment - Ipswich. Didn't Ian Marshall get a five minute hat trick or something similar? I wasn't at that match but I recall the result

    Americans call braces "suspenders". It's possible that some players wore stockings, knickers & suspenders. How metrosexual.
