Hegemony

[Lets be aving you! 0]

From Paddy Davitt''s Watford match report:

 

"Martin glanced a header over before Watford scrambled Bennett’s far post flick away with Norwich re-establishing the impressive level of their early territorial hegemony"

 

Nearly choked on my corn flakes, but does this hedge money mean we can start waving fivers around?

Looks like Paddy has had the thesaurus out - guess extra time gave him a little longer to write the match report.

This follows on from Paddy at the weekend producing one of the clumsiest and grammatically confused sentences in recent football journalism:"The vocal support City rode so skilfully on their journey from the depths of League One is being constrained at present by an inability for this current crop to express the undoubted quality within their ranks."Ugh, ugh, ugh. And made worse by being highlighted by the side of the article in big print.

Well, in the style of this mode of football reporting, I humbly surmise that a trip has been taken to imbue one''s personage with the powers of the Blarney Stone or, failing that hypothesis, our chief purveyor of football media has been granted the use of Stuart Hall''s "Compendium to the avoidance of football cliches, platitudes and commonplaces", notably Chapter 1: "Unusual soccer neologisms".
