phooey

Clips of vintage TV programmes such as Hong Kong Phooey, The Incredible Hulk and Dallas are shown alongside adverts for long defunct products.

The “can’t win the big one” thing is phooey.

I try to liven up our team's daily call by having a different background every day; I'm currently working through a selection of television shows from childhood, so today my video feed features Hong Kong Phooey.

Guardiola however thinks that is phooey: “There is no special motivation. Even if it was the last one there would not have to be extra motivation. The desire to win has to be there, without that it is impossible, but more than that it’s another game, that’s all.”

Phooey to dust on a random sea breeze or strewn on a field of unoffending vegetation.
