Jolly bad.
What would you say if your team lost a match in the worst way possible? Most football fans would probably revert to those four letter words that we all love so much.
George Hamilton was wonderfully articulate in how he summed up the biggest shock at Euro 2016, Didi Hamann was scathing and Steve McClaren, well, he just couldn’t believe it.
BBC presenter Julia Hartley-Brewer took a very different approach though when she described England’s football team as “overpaid nonces”. The Oxford English Dictionary, while describing the word’s etymology as “Origin unknown”, states that it is perhaps derived from the word nonse, Lincolnshire dialect for “good-for-nothing fellow”.
The slang use of the word though is very different. We reckon that she meant the first one.
