'the big man at the back'
'shocking challenge'
'shocking defending'
'the big man up front'
'typical fucking '

Sunday league's better viewing, you get to freeze your bollocks off while hearing phrases like
"Man on your back!"
"Man coming up your arse!"
"Good head!"
"He's not hungry for it"
"Take his legs out!"
"Ooh, I've dropped the soap!"

"Well in!"
"Out the window!"
"Man up!"
"John's on!"
"Watch that big cunt!"
"Fucking typical Germans!"
"I say, I appear to have relocated myself to a position where your passing me the ball may result in a fortuitous outcome"
