There's no argument over the fact that Andy Gray is the best football pundit on British television.
Tonight, on Sky Sports' peerless The Last Word, he surpassed himself with two wonderful additions to the English language:
Evolvement (noun):
A sporting alternative to 'evolution'; typically used to describe a measurable development in an individual's sporting prowess.
Unexplicable (adjective):
A sporting alternative to 'inexplicable'; deployed when criticising poor defending or egregious refereeing decisions.
