    FOOTBALL EXPRESSION

    This weeka€™s English for Football is kiss of death. This phrase is used to talk about the relationship between two people or things. If something is the kiss of death to something else, it will result in terrible or bad things happening. In football, often a chairman will support a manager publicly, but soon afterwards sacks them. Their words of support are the kiss of death, they are a sign that the managera€™s job is about to end. This week, George Gillet of Liverpool made a big public announcement that he supported Benitez. Is it the kiss of death for Benitez? Will he lose his job soon?
