    Euro 2016 - Conor Washington faces the media



    How many times can someone say "Obviously" in one sitting haha

        Obviously, this is quite a large number and to keep in tune with my stats, that's around once every 5.3 seconds of talking.

              You could be forgiven for thinking this was some type of spoof video. He could've omitted every single one of those 'obviouslys' from the interview and would've made no difference to its meaning. Alternatively each 'obviously' could have been substituted for 'apparently' to give it an interesting philosophical twist.

                Obviously, this is one way of looking at it...

                  The original king of the obviously quote was I believe Peter Beardsley, obviously!

                      I believe he was also king of the "to be fair" saying too (at the end of every other sentence), which was equally painful.
