Anyone care to expand maybe?

Itv news just did a bit on us at the end of the 10 pm news.

So poor it was untrue. Yet made me laugh it was that bad.

That sports psychologists provided a real insight there didn't he, telling us about how the underdog generally wants to prove people wrong...

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

Minnows!? **** off you shiny faced ****. He looks like he's had his head dipped in a pot of varnish!

Just brilliant that's all, made me laugh out loud! Now to get more serious and nervous for our trip down to the KP later!
