Stud mark of doom Posted 30 December, 2018 Share Posted 30 December, 2018 Has anyone else noticed that Bubbly Dave has started to refer to the ball (which already has a succinct and readily understood name) as “the guvnor” in recent weeks. This seems like a recent development. Have I just missed it previously? He seems to be banging on about it in all the recent highlights packages. I had to miss the match today but I’m guessing we didn’t get control of the guvnor enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very disingenuous to Ralph who has a completely knackered squad does he not see such obvious matters!! Urgggghhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintmonkey1979 Posted 30 December, 2018 Share Posted 30 December, 2018 I thought the same. It was almost as if he was trying to provoke negative reactions from the listening fan base. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 31 December, 2018 Share Posted 31 December, 2018 I don’t get it, calling the ball the guvnor? Like, “Austin has to head that crossed guvnor into the goal”? Doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Pete Posted 31 December, 2018 Share Posted 31 December, 2018 Yeah, I’ve noticed the whispering about the Guvnor too. Dave and Adam also seems to have developed an annoying habit of referring to Danny Ings as “Ingsey” in commentary lately, which seems a bit over familiar to me. So far, they have stopped short of referring to Redmond as “Redders” tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simo Posted 31 December, 2018 Share Posted 31 December, 2018 If you have control of the governor you generally have control of the game it's not rocket science Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 31 December, 2018 Share Posted 31 December, 2018 If you have control of the governor you generally have control of the game it's not rocket science Pony, Leicester won the league by counter attacking and letting the other side have The Guv’nor. Puel, Pell were both all about controlling The Guv’nor and people were bored to tears. Too much modern football is obsessed with keeping The Guv’nor and therefore playing safety first possession stuff. We need to take a few chances with The Guv’nor and chuck him in the mixer now and again. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridge Posted 31 December, 2018 Share Posted 31 December, 2018 Its a sh!t term to use to name a ball. Get rid of the old tw at and get an ex-player who loves the club to join Adam in the commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew exactly what they were doing. Just because they usually lost the possession battle, doesn't mean they didn't control games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
