park the bus

Tactic used by football (soccer) teams, in which they play defensively for the entire game, in order to deny an apparently superior team any goals and escape with a scoreless draw and thus with one point, instead of risking it all and going for three points and possibly getting none.

Often involves pulling all 11 players in front of the ball, essentially daring the attacking team to send all 11 of theirs out.

Name is suggestive of putting a bus in front of the goal. One of several tactics referred to by football fans as "anti-football," and generally frowned upon by all but fans of the teams employing it.
Fan 1: "What do you mean, Arsenal only beat Sunderland 1-0? Arsenal have the best attack in the league!

Fan 2: "Well, you have to remember, mate, the Mackems like to park the bus."

Fan 1: "Oh yeah. No wonder Newcastle fans hate them so much."

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
