Why on Earth (or should that be Mars?) does Colin Pillinger insist on using Football analogies for every bloody thing he says? It actually gets quite comical after a while…
“We were out to play a two-leg match and both of them were away…We’ve travelled 250 million miles and we’ve got a one-nil result in the first leg…” (source)
“This is not the end of the story; we have many more shots to play…We will play to the final whistle. It only takes a fraction of a second to score a goal.” (source)
“I’m expecting the team to play on to the last whistle” (source)
Apart from looking a bit like the professor out of Back to the Future (“Great Scot! We’ve missed an open goal!”) , he’s got to be loopy!
