Post Match West Bromwich Albion 1 Leicester 2

[Miles Away]

Similar! Played for Alderman Newton Boy's School backed in the 70's. Won chess medals in 73 & 75.

My old man played there. Before your time though.

 

[homer]

I often played with my old man in there

No wonder you had to move abroad

Oh yeah and what a pass from Iheanacho.

Not that that will stop the usual lot whinging about him. If he scored a hat trick for the next 10 matches some will still call him shit.

I will continue to call him out for having to endure 90 minutes of absolute ****ing useless shit from the duffer, regardless of whether he plays one great pass or not.

Yes, it was a fantastic ball, but if you're in any way trying to suggest he wasn't utterly useless for the rest of the entire game then you're just being deliberately obtuse.

Thought his shot was very lame , as well.

Not even on target, yet had time to pick his spot.

I was spitting feathers at Enzo when he took off the excellent Ndidi

See, whilst I agree with much of your post, this phrase "spitting feathers" often, in my opinion, gets misused. I believe it means your mouth is so dry and you're so thirsty you're "spitting feathers" as in "I'm so thirsty I'm spitting feathers". Now I'm very happy to be corrected here, but every time I see it used in another way, the hackles rise. Am I right?

I thought I'd imagined this when I was watching live. Glorious stuff.

Good to see this sort of thing is still alive & well when so much of the game has changed. Fond memories of watching 2 blokes dressed as a cup of coffee & a cheese cob from the away end at Highfield Road back in the distant past.

As far as I was aware it's always meant angry. I've never heard someone say that when they're thirsty.

But after googling it, it appears that the original meaning was thirsty, and the angry meaning came into use in the 1970s.

According to the landlord of my old man's local (well, one of them anyway) it started to mean angry as a result of customers at the bar having to wait too long to be served. They were spitting feathers due to thirst, then STILL spitting feathers due to not having a drink yet & getting a bit miffed.

Jesus. I've waited nearly 50 years for that useless info to be relevant to something. All things come to those who wait i guess.

You lot are weird, I’ve always associated it with performing oral on a chicken

As far as I am aware it's always meant thirsty. I've only heard somebody use to mean angry in the past twenty years or so.

Sounds plausible/likely.

It looks like a pride boiler.

Someone at some point should have asked themself how putting a pride flag on an anthropomorphic combi boiler actually helps LGBT people.

Well if it’s about marketing more efficient energy usage to all without discrimination then in an ideal world we’d have some pride nuclear cooling towers going up in this country.
