Most annoying football cliche?

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

"plays it round the corner..."???

What f*cking corner???

 

[supercity88]

"It was a good ball but no one was on the end of it" or "he had the right idea".

If no one is in the box why are they crossing it, and I'm sure every player out there has the right idea when they play football but it's all about execution so why say it!

“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?

In women's football:-
"that's a great save" for any save regardless of difficulty.

He's in a good place right now

Where ???

Team X will be better suited than Team Y because of the big pitch.

Almost every pitch is the same size

The clips with Dion Dublin added in are brilliant.

Oh, and when some ****, usually those two goons from Sky Sports are discussing a team with money to spend and they describe it as a "war chest".

Fuck off.

 

[RiversideBlue]

Whilst player is rolling round on the floor looking to get another player booked "he's not that sort of player.." Yes he fucking is.

West ham fans this season

''sleep walking to relegation''

"The football club"...he knows 'the football club', it's a massive game for 'the football club', players who wanna play for 'the football club'

 

[blueyorkie]

"It evens itself out over the season", with reference to bad refereeing decisions.

It fucking doesn't, you know.

Fully endorse this, it’s utter BS perpetuated by the media.

Biggest squad in the league.

 

[kaz7]

Biggest squad in the league.

This is repeated every game despite us having one of if not the lowest number of players in the prem, pundits are like sheep, just repeat things that if they took the time to look at it shows it not to be true , lazy and plays into the cheat narrative

 

[Ian Paisley]

At the end of the day
we are taking one game at a time

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

football pundits are cliche. Certainly Carra and Neville. Old school talking about the big man up front or playing with your heart on your sleeve. Everything they say is cliche.

And whilst they're doing that, City (Or Arsenal/other clubs) are using false 9's inverted FBs, CBs in midfield, midfield box 4...

And you know why? These pundits havent got a scooby on what they're seeing.

 

[Gazza]

Apparently getting a player back from a long term injury is like having a new signing.

 

[Koniec]

It’s a big ask

Let's be honest, how they always skirt around blatant dives generally. "Fernandes seems to have taken a knock there. He seems to be in some discomfort."

It seems like 'seems' is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

The more recent addition is :

- Nothing really in it that challenge
- VAR will have a look at that
