Food and drink?

[blackpoolhibs]

In the West Brom game, a cross comes in and the defender Chests the ball back to the keeper. Andy Gray says thats food and drink for the defender. What the f is that supposed to mean? Gray is not the only one to say this, i have heard it before.

Why not ham and eggs, or chips and gravy, or paper and scissors? It just does not make any sense? :confused:

The expression "Food and Drink" refers to the basic requirement for life -- you naturally eat and drink to live
From that it has become used in the context that it is a natural act therefore it is easy .
From that a simple save becomes " food and drink to the keeper "

That question was Fois Gras and a 2003 Chateau d' Yquem Sauternes to you, Bob.

I thought the phrase was "meat and drink".
As with many other such common sayings, I believe it was first written by William Shakespeare.

Thats what I think it should be everytime that muppet Gray comes out with it too.

If it was meat and drink to the keeper does that mean he could have made a meal of it :confused:

[Dr Jimmy]

Or "dine out" on a save...?

2001 was the best of the recent years. Once had a 1967 bottle - pretty much unbeatable as wines go.
