But they say it is the hope that kills you and as United were still in the throes of celebration, their lead had lasted just 22 seconds and suddenly a game was on.
The above is what I hear on TV. But I doubt whether the underlined collocation is right. So I confirm with you teachers.
Is "in the throes of" collocated with "celebrations"? If YES, what does it mean in this context?
Thanks
