    In football, it’s all about hyping up the “product”. That’s why a shot that ends up in the car park is usually described as “a great effort”, even though it was pants.

    Maybe racing is trying to emulate football by going down the same route and making everything sound better than it is? 🤷‍♂️

    I’m with Purwell with “jumping from fence to fence’ or “jumping from hurdle to hurdle.”
    And Richard Hoiles using the word ‘slightly’ when it’s not needed.

    Football co-commentators saying something like ‘it was a great goal’ then saying ‘it REALLY is’, or ‘it REALLY was’. One reason why I mute Ally McCoist.

    “Ms O’Neill generally knows her stuff, but her tendency to start every contribution with “Yeah…” is really irritating.”

    She’s doing it again.

    I am delighted to say I have zero idea who you are all talking about and I fully intend to keep it that way.

    Sounds like Steve McManaman “yeah” “yeah, Fletch” every time Fletch says something…
    I’ve never known him disagree. :scratch:
