The Scottish Football Pundit's Dictionary, Part 3
Another superb effort by Andy Gray on last night's The Last Word.
Whilst discussing Blackburn Rovers striker Roque Santa Cruz's talents for off-the-ball movement, Gray deployed the following sentence:
From time to time, he's always on the move.
Would... you... believe it... Richard.

Unbelievable, Richard
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.
