Most annoying football cliche?

[PistonBlue]

Sick and tired of people saying about how playing shite and winning is the sign of a good team.
Is there a single football cliche of any description that is more annoying than this. Apart from Siberski being a good header of the ball.

The best header of a ball at the club iirc

“He turned on a sixpence and propelled the leather past the hapless custodian.”
(One for FOCs who read the Express in the fifties. For younger members, sixpence was a small silver coin.)
Can you name any other use of the word “hapless”?

“They'd run through brick walls for him”. Haven't been through the whole thread, sorry if it's already here.
An utterly cretinous expression. I wouldn't want a footballer paid several hundred thousand pounds a month to run through brick walls in any circumstances. And certainly not for me.

 

[Keeper!]

"Sky sports understands"

Just STFU you nonces

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

“We think we can get a result”.

Yeah, what you mean like Liverpool two weeks ago at the Etihad, mate?

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

2 nil is a dangerous lead

3 nil's even more dangerous. You could make your opponents feel that they're being disrespected.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Keep them coming! I've been rolling around laughing…

The thing that kills me stone dead is that people get money for letting this vapid shit come out of their mouths.

There’s no club bigger than United.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

The coach touched me there

Was the coach Gary Glitter in this instance?

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

“Running into the channels.” This is a newish one, which is designed to sound pseudo-scientific, even a bit geometrical (or something…).
Yeah, it's kind of useful for footballers not to run straight into where there's space, isn't it? Like into the back of a defender?

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I watched Haarland's 45 goals on the OS and heard Alistair, after Erling had smashed in one of his six pens that 'There was never any doubt!' (that he'd score.) There never is any doubt when the ball's whacked the back of the net with the goalie left sprawling!

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Just remembered another one: 'history'. As in a club has 'no history' if it did not win stuff during a prescribed period. It's complete bollocks. Even Rochdale has history.

True. I fear they're about to add a completely new chapter to it.

 

[remember arthur mann]

If Manchester City(see what I did there)(yep used brkts) get their way, 'we might as well pack up and go home'.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

“European royalty”.
Feel like taking out a contract on people who say that (and it's always one set of people — funny, that).

 

[City Hobgoblin]

"Bring yer f*ckin dinner" sadly didn't catch on

 

[SamBlue]

Don't do [insert any cliche you can think about], you are not Manchester City/Guardiola.

 

[Donmcfc]

“We think we can get a result”.

Yeah, what you mean like Liverpool two weeks ago at the Etihad, mate?

Losing by four goals is a result. Just not a very good one.

Could be a few more of these before the season is out
