|Football speak J - P|
|Around the Academy:
J - JOB
K - KILLER GOAL or KEEP IT TIGHT
Not the best of letters, you take your pick. But remember, many goals are described as the goal that 'killed' the game...until the opposition score their next goal anyway.
L - LEFT PEG
M - MIXER
This is that mystery zone you'll hear about when the ball is flying into the penalty area.
N - NOT OVER TIL THE FAT LADY SINGS
Matches normally end with the ref blowing the whistle, but as anybody knows, it's 'not over' until the mystery woman gets warbling.
O - ONION BAG
Nope, not a vegetable in sight, but just another description for the net.
P - POP
There are plenty of ways of describing having a 'dig', or a shot from outside the box. This is another.
And commentators - who obviously know best! - will usually announce that the shot was 'going over' as soon as it 'left the boot'.
