Used to describe Tottenham Hotspur's tendency to collapse. If a team is in a strong position and finds a way to throw it away, that would be Spursy. Things like bottling a title race, a late defensive error, or a general inability to get over the line in big moments. Other clubs choke too, but Spurs somehow made it part of their identity.

Spurs were 2-0 up at half time against Chelsea and still lost 4-2. Absolutely Spursy.

A player who's completely focused and performing at their peak. When someone's locked in, they're not making mistakes, they're dominant, and they're unplayable. Internet term that's become common in football commentary. The opposite of a player who's distracted or going through the motions.

Mocking term for putting crosses in with no plan and hoping something happens. "Inshallah" means "God willing" in Arabic - you're basically praying the ball falls kindly. Used to criticize teams that just launch crosses at the box when they can't break down a defence, especially if they don't have anyone good in the air to aim at.
Manchester United under certain managers became associated with "cross and inshallah" football - when struggling to break down deep defenses, they would resort to endless crosses from wide areas despite lacking a traditional target man.

A long-range goal absolutely leathered into the top corner. The kind that leaves keepers standing still and commentators screaming. Originated from British football culture and spread through podcasts and social media. A true thunderbastard combines distance, power, and accuracy.

Did you see Szoboszlai's free kick v City? Absolute thunderbastard
