Football commentary is a form of art. Those commentating the football game have to be creative and use improvisation for years. Obviously, with more experience, they become wordsmiths capable of casually giving us some of the best phrases and paragraphs we heard in our entire lives. And they do it with impeccable intonation, too.

When I think my English is really good, I listen to Peter Drury and get humbled for a few weeks. I honestly believe people like Mr. Drury are magicians, I wonder how they communicate at home with all of that lexical resource.

Imagine being Peter Drury’s son and disappointing him. He would probably lecture you with something like this ⬇️

Ah, my dear, we all stumble from time to time. Life, like the beautiful game, is full of moments—some brilliant, some lacking a certain magic. But it’s in these moments, the ones we’d rather forget, that we truly learn who we are. You may have missed the mark this time, but remember, the beauty of the journey is that it’s never too late to try again, to learn, and to rise even stronger. I’m here, watching with faith, knowing that next time, you’ll make me proud, not by being perfect, but by giving it your all.

TRANSFERMARKT released its freshest list of the most valuable players in the world, with Haaland and Vinicius topping the list. I was honestly disgusted looking at that list since 90% of these players are overpriced and would not justify their price tags.

Football inflation is insane.

In the broader context of a football season, gaining momentum refers to a team progressively improving its performance over several matches, often building up a series of wins or strong performances that boost the team’s overall confidence and standing. And we all know how importance confidence is for United right now, after yet another departure of a manager.

@footballgrammar 💯


Among tonight's Europa League games, the most interesting to me is this game at Old Trafford 🇪🇺

It is a perfect opportunity for Manchester United to gain momentum and take advantage of a relatively easier calendar for the next few weeks.

HEARTBREAKING NOVEMBER continues for Arsenal fans. Inter beats the Gunners 1-0 ✏️

Barcelona shine once again, Raphinha is definitely enjoying his football this season ⭐️

Atletico grab a late winner vs PSG 📸

@footballgrammar 🧨


Arsenal have 45 minutes to turn the game around vs Inter. Whether they manage a comeback or not, they will then have these three games ⬇️

- Derby vs Chelsea 🥶
- Battle with the Nottingham Boys (who beat Liverpool this season) 👀
- And the one vs Sporting (a team that beat City 4-1) 🧨

There’s also a short international break in between (problematic span with potential injuries). Extremely busy November, a month that I think will define Arsenal’s season.

Arteta out soon?

MORE UCL ACTION TONIGHT 🇪🇺

Two of the most interesting games are objectively the ones you can see in the image above, although I am really excited to see Aston Villa potentially go top of the table again 1️⃣

For Arsenal, this is surely another test of resilience. If they lose again, their own fans will be quick to say that the season is over 🔠

Well, yes. Not the score many people expected. Madrid's struggles continue as Mbappe is not giving the team an upgrade so many of us thought he'd guarantee.

City lost, too. It is a weird day in the UCL when both Carlo and Pep don't win their games.

By the way, the word 'decorated' is one of my favorites as it is a specific term used to describe a player, coach, or team that has achieved significant success and accolades, such as winning major titles, awards, or setting records.

Detailed Meaning 🔠
Decorated refers to someone or something that has been awarded or honored due to excellence or accomplishments in their field. In the context of football, it often highlights a player's or team's impressive list of achievements. Check out the examples below 📝

⭐️ Player Context: Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most decorated footballers in history, having won multiple Ballon d'Or awards and numerous league titles and Champions League trophies.

⭐️ Team Context: Barcelona’s decorated history includes numerous La Liga titles and Champions League victories, making them one of the most successful clubs in Europe.

⭐️ Coach Context: Sir Alex Ferguson is the most decorated manager in English football, leading Manchester United to countless domestic and international titles.


As we get ready to watch some UCL action, I was wondering who you think is the greatest football manager of all time

I
am not trying to start war in the comments, just observing what people's opinions on this are. For many years, it was a very easy question for a number of people, and the usual candidates were Pep, Cruyff, Sir Alex and my favorite Mr. "3 for me and 2 for them" Jose Mourinho. However, 5 UCLs as a manager and incredible longevity in football make Mr. Carlo a very convincing choice, too.

Who is it for you

Two of the most decorated clubs in UCL history will meet tonight, with Mr. Carlo Ancelotti obviously being the main star of the event. He won the UCL with both teams, a fact that helps him consistently rank among the best managers in football history 🇪🇺


Well, for the 57th time in history, it is a draw between Chelsea and Manchester United. Fans who enjoyed this week the most are those supporting Liverpool 👀

Everton lost.
Arsenal lost.
City lost.
Chelsea and United draw.

Here's an amazing article on the most memorable moments in United-Chelsea derby 💯 A lot of nostalgia and some incredible vocabulary as usual ✏️

I asked AI to show two frustrated City and Arsenal fans, and here's what I got 👀

Like I said earlier, it is definitely an interesting week. We don't really see title contenders lose games like this, but that is why PL is a great league. Anything can happen 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️

NEXT UP: Manchester United 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 vs Chelsea 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@footballgrammar ✈️


I hope Wolves get their first win today 🐺

It’s finally Saturday ⚡️

Obviously, the central meeting today is the one between Arsenal and Newcastle ✏️ I suppose Arsenal’s title chase could be further compromised if Newcastle manages to beat them today, and yes, we all know that Newcastle is one of the most unpredictable teams to watch in the PL, so let’s see what happens 👀

Liverpool will play Brighton for the second time this week, and it’s usually fireworks when these two play one another 🧨

One more really interesting encounter is Bournemouth vs City. Pep has been complaining about injuries but let’s see how bad the problem really is today. Bournemouth managed to beat Arsenal some time ago and if they beat City, I’d be genuinely amazed 💯
