| متربعا على القمة وحده clear at the top of the table Explanation: This is how we'd say it idiomatically in the UK at least: http://www.hufc.com.sg/index.php?cat=matchreport&report_id=1... Protectors claimed the vital three points to move clear at the top of the table. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/2578025.st... But champions Arsenal hit back through a Robert Pires penalty to go a point clear at the top of the table. Or even "sitting pretty at the top of the table": http://www.bbc.co.uk/northyorkshire/sport/2002/08/24/scar_ga... Having started the new season with back-to-back victories, Dagenham went into the game sitting pretty at the top of the table The Arabic literally means "sitting on the summit alone"; it doesn't much in English, particularly not in sporting terms. The terms I have suggested are used particularly in match reports and other media. |
