Manchester City went top of the Premier League table on goal difference today, and what a sensational difference to the goals they made. And they did it against David Luiz’s Chelsea, no less.
6-0. +54 GD. That’s City.
I read something interesting from Quartz (I have no idea) about the differences between the words fuck-up, SNAFU, FUBAR, shitshow and clusterfuck. I figured it was clickbait, but it really was a sensational read.
I hope you feel the same about this.
Here are the connotative meanings of the words, as exemplified by Chelsea’s clusterfuckerish showing against Manchester City today.
A fuck-up: “Something all of us do every day.”
Ladies and gentlemen, Sergio Aguero with the consummate fuck-up.

A SNAFU: “Situation Normal, All Fucked Up” - fine, just fucked. normal life.
Again, I give you Sergio Aguero. This is when he remembers that he's got the City shirt on and not the Albiceleste.
AGUEROOOOO! Incredible! pic.twitter.com/QMGO90k02a

A shitshow: “a situation or state of affairs characterized by chaos, confusion or incompetence.”

“FUBAR”: Fucked Up Beyond All Repair
Clusterfuck: “a bungled or confused undertaking or situation. Those debacles and disasters caused by a deadly brew of illusion, impatience and incompetence that afflicts too many decision-makers, especially those in powerful, confident and prestigious groups.”
Goal Sterling! That makes it SIX for Manchester City! pic.twitter.com/0hOnvGSrts
