Post Match Leicester 2 - 2 Watford

[Uncle Connolly]

How is it, after attending hundreds of games since 1991 and watching literally thousands more from all over the world on tv since the 1988 European Championships, that I've never ever, even once, ever heard that term said by anyone ever?

..... You weren't listening? :icon_wink

In all seriousness I've only heard Iain Dowie and Chris Kamara use it... if that actually counts.

Has anyone got the first idea what a worldie is?

I've seen the expression used on Twitter. I did a search of the people I follow, and this was the result:




Then I did a search for the 'worldy', and there were a lot more tweets - but mostly from 2012.

So, no actual definition then. Makes sense.

 

[Graz]

Worldie is a word for something that is world class.

I would have thought it's pretty obvious that it means 'world class'.

 

[Jeff]

70 seconds...

Must try harder.

De Laet has pace, has a good"engine" and is a real danger going forward.

I've long maintained that defensively he is one of the doziest players I've ever seen. Guilty of huge lapses in concentration and struggles positionally.

I Still rate the bloke for his other attributes and his pace often covers up his defensive play.

Apologies, but that just looks like a wall of gibberish to me.

Surely after years of reading gibberish on here you can understand it by now?


A quick google suggests that the word was popularised by the TV programme Geordie Shore. I've not seen it, and after reading about it I hope I don't ever see it.

It seems that's a spin-off of Jersey Shore, a hateful tv show about a group of vain, self-obsessed scumbags in the actual real geographical region called the Jersey Shore. I don't know where the Geordie Shore is.

Nobody had ever said it until ten minutes ago, now it's a 'proper' football word.

 

[Motown Fox]

Another saying that is being used is

Unbelievable tekkers

to describe goals like Drinkwater's and similar


By the way nice header down from James. With his goal too I thought he had a good game yesterday.

 

[Volpone]

Watford's first goal definitely NOT offside after watching it again on FLS.

Knockaert looked ok yesterday, the new French lad looked more threatening when he came on. One thing I didn't like is that a few times when he's in possession with no team mate support he would quite clearly show his frustration about that.. didn't like that very much! I thought it was a decent performance from the team on the whole, we deserved something from the game.

To be fair there were moments when, uncharacteristically, we were very static.
