  • ebullientfatalist says:

    My favorite non-English footy phrase is anything that comes our of Carragher’s mouth.

  • Ryan says:

    Kudos to whoever wrote the UNM media guide, “fearless when making a challenge”. I’ll say.

  • Sarah says:

    Everyone can speak Carragher, EF. “Ehh yeh knoow.”

    And repeat.

  • Georger says:

    The Crouch question on the transfer thing is missing Pompey. Those are pretty damn hard, really pleased with myself that I got Smicer and Keller though.

  • Nathaniel says:

    So the fact that ELambo had two older siblings, one of whom was mildly successful in a D1 volleyball program and the other making “honorable mention” for what is essentially a community college football team makes her kick players in the face?

    Nice analysis.

  • The NY Kid says:

    @Nathaniel – I once killed a drifter because my older sister went to the same middle school as me, and all of the teachers that we had in common referred to me as “X’s” younger brother. It takes a toll, man!

  • Keith says:

    Must have been weird having a sister named X, Kid.

  • Goat says:

    Look out, Bill Simmons. TFA’s gonna take over the internets next.

  • James T says:

    Am I a freak because I can translate Carragher-speak, having been born and raised in Liverpool?

  • Bergkampesdios says:

    I’ve completely wasted my morning with the transfer naming thing.

    thank you.

  • Sarah says:

    @NYK: At least your teachers didn’t call you by your older sister’s name. Half my high school teachers knew me as Meagan.
