Footballer's Metaphors

A classic mixed metaphor from Paul Maysfield on "Football Focus" this week;
"... he should put his foot down with a firm hand"

Bernard (the PPS of Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister) would certainly come down hard on that!!!

Football Refocus

I was watching ESPN's "Football Focus" with John Dykes earlier tonight; I could not help feeling embarrassed for the punters as they struggled with the subject of the BPL club debt. Apart from Jamie Reeves, these ex-footballers just do not know anything about economics. So boys, from now on, please stick to the foot-ball!!!
