Football loves its phrases. We speak of a player getting stuck in and having good feet for a
big man, while saying his form is poor as he's gone off the boil. Some squads play Route One
football and others just run about. The sports lexicon is thick with these and many other
sayings that at times can remind us in short order what message is attempting to be conveyed a
little Richard Keys banter if you like and on other occasions cause us to grind our teeth slightly
at their overusage again, a little Richard Keys banter if you like.

Found a link to this on Yahoo sports. He's been doing the Boston Bruins hockey games for the last
few years, and he hasn't changed a bit. From what I've read online, he is still the same love/hate
announcer with his own unique brand of catchphrases. This is classic Jack:
The man loves his history references.
I don't want to dwell too much on the Blackburn game, I think we've all probably heard and said
just about enough about it, likely none of what we have seen or heard has exactly been music to our
ears nor honey for our tongues. Suffice to say I don't think I've ever been so disappointed in the
manner of an Arsenal display.
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few days, or indeed watching Sky Sports
News, where they valiantly pretended the story wasn't going on around them, you may have heard
about the spot of bother Richard Keys and Andy Gray got themselves into, going all 1950s alpha male
by slagging off the 'state of football today' for daring to employ a female lineswoman (who,
incidentally, was excellent), while 'hilariously' joking about how she would need to be taught the
offside rule, being, you know, a woman, and therefore incapable of understanding some
complexities.
