Most annoying football cliche?

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

'Done it the right way'...

FECK OFF!!!

 

[JASR]

Whenever a team from Trafford isn’t playing:

‘When they played and lost against Manchester United …’
‘…Used to play for Manchester United …’
‘They have some way to go to beat the Manchester United record of…’
‘I watched Manchester United yesterday and they played that move far better…’
‘…is related to the Manchester United legend…’
‘…his play reminds me of the young Manchester United lad…’
Ad infinitum

The refs a cu*T. Oh wait that is a matter of fact.

"We're talking about Manchester United here. One of the biggest clubs in the world if not the biggest."

basic error you didnt mention MANCHESTER United enough times

 

[i went to rotherham]

Radio presenters especially Alan Brazil and Stuart Pearce giving everyone a nickname such as ‘Giggsy’ ,‘Lamps’, ‘Pards’ ‘Robbo’ etc etc.

"Trent" and "Bobby Firmino" drives me nuts

What do they even mean by a six pointer ? Never understood it

When we win against Arsenal we will get three points to our tally, and at the same time assure they don't get any points.

So when playing a specific team the effect is similar to getting six points in one game (since by winning we at the same time prevent them from getting three points as well).

Pretty much anything to do with goalkeeping. "Shouldn't get beaten at your near post" and "should have done better" both spring to mind.

The latter, in particular, since it's said whenever a goalie gets their fingertips to a shit. In those cases they'd get less criticism if they made less of an effort to save it.

I agree, they would be doing much better if they used toilet paper instead.

Just means that it's a Very Important Match for both sides. Usually used when the two are direct rivals for the title.
But also used when both are fighting relegation, and one will leapfrog the other if they win. But it is only three points. I've checked. Our upcoming match with Arsenal at the Etihad will only gain either side a maximum of three points. Things can still happen after that…

One team gains 3 points. The other team loses 3 points.

He opened up his body and placed the ball in the back of the net. So, did he score with his kidney?

The managers lost the dressing room.

How? As he picked a whole bastard room up and put it down safe so that he’ll remember where it is?


Or is that last bit just me? \O/

"Got to step up to the plate". This footy cliche really gets on my nerves.

Never seems to be a problem for Luke Shaw.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

One team gains 3 points. The other team loses 3 points.

Nope. The other team is as they were. They neither gain nor lose anything.
Otherwise every single game would be a six-pointer.

From prem to tier 9, just glad to get the deal over the line......

Ah yes but, if every game were a six pointer we would have got 196 points in the Centurion season.
Even better the season the dips got within a point - we would have finished with 194 points and the trampy bastard skip rats would’ve got………. 187!

Pundit Y says that Coach X got his tactics ‘spot on’. Pundit Y proceeds not to illustrate what said tactics were. Illustrating Pundit Y to be a know-nothing air-bag.

Likewise, Sant Josep ‘overthinking’ it.

Like Alberto Juantorena, 1979s Cuban 400/800 runner, who David Coleman once described ‘opening his legs and showing his class’. Oo-er.
