.... and football in general is the sheer amount of synonyms for the the word "bad".

I often read the match and ratings threads and lol my tits off at some of the words.

"Shambles" being one of my personal favourites.

Turgid, insipid, shambolic, catastrophic etc etc.

And my other favourite: "poor".
Like, I'm sure I hear that word in football more than any other walk of life.

Personally I find it hilarious.

I never know what people mean when they call football "turgid". It makes sense in biology, it makes sense in literary or artistic criticism. But how is football ever grandiose, swollen, overdone?
