Dislikes: modern football jargon. No 2,456 in a series of 5,000

Xxx 'is an upgrade on...' I see this often when talking of transfers.

An 'upgrade'?! Like a computer program. Or something from a computer game.

Awful, mechanical, tech-speak devoid of any life or character. As if they are screen avatars or characters.

How about X is an improvement upon Y?

Or simply better than?

Any other modern terms, foreign or domestic that have crept into the game that get your goat - and should be banished?

Tetchily yours on a Sunday night,

Old Joe
