Throughout this barren period, their players have also had this swaggery little skip to their feet, similar to that we'd see from them when they were winning things, like they are packed with so much skill and trickery that their feet can't contain it and need to vent some of it. It looks utterly ridiculous on the likes of Fred or Qbert or Beanz.
I found out the other day that when a bunny does this skip-kick kind of thing it is called a "binky," or sometimes "popcorning."
Their players have been doing that for the last 5 years, whenever they try to look like a possession based team. That little fucking skip. Like someone who needs 3,4,5 touches trying to look as if they play 1 touch.
I am overjoyed now to know it has a name, and look forward to hipsterising over the next couple of weeks telling all my mates that Utd play, binky, popcorning footie.
I'm going straight into the Utd thread to be the first to put it out there
And then text my mates.
Cheers, you have made this game even funnier.
