Euphemisms to describe our current plight.

[BrummieFOX]

We're a bit like when you're having a sh*t and you pull on the bog roll to get a strip of paper, but you pull too hard and the whole roll comes off, falls on the floor and rolls across the other side of the bathroom.

 

So you're left with just a tiny bit of paper to wipe your arse with.

Not exactly a euphemism, but "our situation has not improved"

David Ward is not the right fit to be a professional goalkeeper. His best quality is unsaving shots.

 

It's bad enough with Danny Ward the Welsh  Goalie from Llandidntsaveany and Gavin Ward the ref whose mate posted in here in the classic thread, but now you tell us there is ANOTHER Ward.

 

Oh noes.

This season gives us a great opportunity to regroup and win the championship again.

Even that is out of reach.  We only just managed it last time.

Another trophy for being the 21st best team in the country to come around again 

So he is happy on occasion??  Hanger on, left with the kids and bog roll, and if he continues with his current successful record, thats how many fans will be at the games.

We are where we are and it is what it is.

That's an acronym not a euphemism as is FUBAR.

 

And I can't work it out. 

 

And, the title of this topic is a bit misleading as the examples given at the top aren't actually euphemisms but more like  metaphors.

 

Anyway, let's continue with (metaphorical) ways  to describe us and the situation we're in.

 

It's like starting your summer holiday with hope and looking forward to fun, exciting and happy times only to discover that whatever the travel agent promised isn't happening and you wish you'd never got so involved with that slightly dodgy nightclub dancer after you discover she has herpes and was wearing a wig.

 

Then all you want to do is go home but you're stuck in the place you really don't want to be.

The euphs of today probably don't know what you mean.

A wet fart... Potential to start with a bang and go big but ends with a damp squib of a season with only disappointment left to endure

[Philkeavo]

I asked Gemini 🤣
Okay, here are some cruel euphemisms for Leicester City's potential relegation this season.
 * A long-overdue reunion with their true love (the Championship): Implies a natural affinity for the lower league.
 * A graceful exit from the Premier League's elite: Sarcastically suggests a dignified decline.
 * A well-earned demotion: Bluntly acknowledges their poor performance.
 * A return to their rightful place in the footballing hierarchy: Suggests they belong in a lower division.
 * A chance to rebuild from the ashes (of their Premier League dreams): A morbidly humorous take on their potential downfall.
Disclaimer: These are intended for humor, but they are definitely on the darker side. Relegation is a serious matter for any club.
I hope these provide a bit of (cruel) amusement, though I understand if Leicester City fans might not appreciate them!

Tactical retreat (current plight)

Charitable points distribution (losing)

Foundational restructuring exercise (relegation)

unexpected item in the penalty area   (goals against)

Leicester City punitive correctional facility ( King Power Stadium) 

A man of very hidden talents (Danny Ward) 

Could light up any room just by leaving it (Jon Rudkin) 

Sudden radial apparatus malfunction (the wheels have come off)

As the blood drained and his grip slipped El Goatee fell into a pleasant reverie in which the green surroundings of Plymouth Argyle pinged with Enzo balls and the feint outline of Keith Weller's tights danced gently to a Mariachi version of When You're Smiling sung by Coleen Rooney.

All the parts should be connected but they somehow seem totally random.

 

(Both this thread and the team).

[murphy]

Well, if his thread has taught us anything, it has taught us that Leicester fans don't know what a euphemism is.  

[Aus Fox]

I think Rudkin would describe us as being in a position of deferred success.
