On First Looking at English Football

Hi TqB.

Still learning the language of the announcers or whatever they would/should be called.

Usually 'commentators/co-commentators' ('announcers' would be those people/voices heard over the tannoy/p.a announcing team names/substitutions/missing children that sort of thing. Often heard in the background of a commentary.) The other term would be 'pundits' (more your studio based experts, former professionals, usually.). Then there are the 'reporters' on the touchline/pitchside.

I'd actually like to include more of that in the poem, but that might be another poem.

No need to pack everything into one piece. One of the charms of this poem is the 'wrong' language (which also reinforces the 'novice' viewpoint.) - let's those of us more familiar with the sport see it afresh. Be a shame to lose that.

Best, Knot.
