[MC ID]

"Mind games"

 

[KentBlue]

Don't know if it's been mentioned but 'the twelfth man' pisses me off.

 

[Rascal]

If you have twatter, USASOCCERGUY is a must follow for the way he describes soccer.

Just brilliant.


I hate how anyone who is left footed is described as having a lovely left foot but right footed players are never described as having a lovely right foot.

Don't know if it's been mentioned but 'the twelfth man' pisses me off.

[I'm With Stupid]

The one that's not only annoying, but has actually ruined football: "there was definitely contact." So what if there was fucking contact? It's a contact sport. The rules say nothing about contact, they say you're not allowed to trip someone.

"He went over easily." If he dived, just say he dived.

"...with the money they've spent."

Gone out of date now but I used to hate
"So how are you feeling about this result?"
"I'm over the moon"

Wouldn't be acceptable even if it was "over the blue moon". ;-)

 

[Tricky_Trev]

"They're a goal to the good"

 

[super_city_si]

I hate the plurals. "your Barcelona's and your Real Madrids" or "your Vincent Kompany's". There is one of them you thick pricks.

Another one. If you watch the Soccer Special thing on Sky tonight count how many times the phrase 'as things stand' gets used.
