Jolly sums up the classic LSE big man wonna be.
He reminds me of times you are watching your favorite football team (or any sport) and the person sitting behind you clearly doesn’t know much about the game or team but wants everyone around them to think they know more than anyone. They do this by throwing out some classic football puns as often as possible “just play football lads”, “box em in”, or in jolly terms, errm balance sheets! Placements, oversold yeah, yeah sounds good etc etc, (see, see I know all the jargon an’t I clever) your team are 4th in the table but as soon as you go one goal down the person starts saying “that’s it! we are going to be relegated, need to sack the manager quick, players don’t know what they are doing….but then the team gets 2 quick goals and then they talk about “league title has our name on it”, “I’ve been watching the player who scored the second goal since he was in the youth team and knew he would be a star”…. (kid sitting next to him) but we signed him last summer from Man U…”oh yeah, yeah well I know that, I saw him while he was playing against the youth team is what I meant. Same sort of people will go onto other clubs fan forums at the beginning of the season saying my team will finish higher than yours, wait to the end of the season go back to the ones that did finish lower saying, “see, see told you so an’t I cleaver” but conveniently forget about the 70% that finisher higher. This is basically Jolly’s hobby. Throw out loads of predictions know law of average you might get a few right and then some people might think you are smart.
