I was sitting listening absolutely depressed to the FA Cup coverage on Newcastle versus Mansfield Town, which is serving up the usual predictably amorphous dross from Graham Souness, when one of the commentators said "If an alien from the Planet Zog landed on the pitch right now and you asked him which was the Premiership side, what do you think he'd say?"
Well, what do you think he would say? My shortlist is
(1) "Eeklybyni! Eeklybyni!"
(2) "100100100"
(3) "AAAAARK! YOUR HEAD WILL MAKE A MEATY FEAST!"
(4) "I do not know, Excitable-Primatian-That-Sits-In-Muffs: what is the descriptive noun-clause indicator 'Premiership side'?"

Well, we all get his point. In America, there's this idiot who keeps saying about a professional football player having a particularly good game, "He's just playing Quidditch out there."
If someone can offer me any insight, so that I do not stick an icepick in my ear the next time I hear this, please, enlighten me.
