If you're getting hung up on a 5000/1 underdog that has played 10 of its last 12 seasons outside the Premier League being called "minnows," congratulations! You've just figured out a way to miss the entire point of that segment.

They're right though.  Certain words carry specific meanings and given the implications of the term, minnows is something you'd call a league 2 team playing a Premier league outfit in the cup, not a team with better finances and fanbase than most of the football league who have only spent one season in their entire history outside of the top 2 flights.  Underdogs, outsiders, unfancied, shock leaders, dark horses, longshots... there's many ways to make that point without overegging it.

 

It's a minor point to be sure but he's still unequivocally wrong in his terminology.

 

Fuch I'd even say he had a point if he simply appended the words "Premier League" before minnows but his point was that we're sporting minnows which is a bit offensive.  I wonder what adjective he'd use for teams like Woking or Aldershot if he goes in that severe on us lol
