Overview
The long-awaited follow-up to Football ClichƩsAdam Hurrey's cult classic about the language of football.
Does language evolve? Yes, it does.
Will it ever be acceptable for a football commentator to call a shot that bounces before it goes in 'a screamer'? No, it will not.
With tongue firmly-in-cheek, Adam Hurrey sets off to define the definitive rules of the language of football.
He will answer the big questions such as: Is it acceptable to say a player is 'breaking their silence' (it's complicated), can headers can be 'lashed' (anatomically impossible), whether a penalty shootout could ever be described as 'late drama' (truly abhorrent), how many games constitute a 'bumper' day of Premier League action (minimum of eight) and just how big a deficit constitutes 'a mountain to climb' (certainly not Liverpool going 1-0 down at home to Wolves in the third minute, Sky Sports.)
Playful yet deadly serious, follow Hurrey as he rules on countless infringements - both glaring and subtle - of football's linguistic laws.
