"These foreign lads all to go too ground easily".

If there ever was a sweeping, xenophobic generalisation that's it. As stated above, because all "foreign" players dive and the likes of Sturridge, Rooney, Defoe, Young, Johnson and Johnson etc never dive.

" this football club "

in interviews managers are loathed to say " at City " or " here at Cardiff " they say " at this ( or the ) football club " - I assume that for the most part they chop and change so regularly they forget where they are and who they are managing?????

Decisions even themselves out over the course of the season.

Although no phrase has ever annoyed me more than the simple "1-0" as spoken by David Coleman when commentating on a Leeds United game

 

[tregyblue61]

"Could of gone anywhere" really pisses me off

My pet hate is "...he'll be disappointed with that" when some clown of a player makes a horrible hash of a sitter, a save, or whatever. What they mean is "..that was bloody awful, he should be ashamed of himself".

Another is "...the lad made a meal of that..." when someone is clattered. Funnily enough, it's always a player from a foreign side (club or national) who "makes a meal of it", because no English/British players ever feign being fouled, do they? When a Brit is brought down, the commentator (eg Tyldesley) says "that was cynical". No Brits are "cynical", they are "honest" or "uncompromising".

Watch one of the Euro games tonight and I guarantee those will be spouted.

My word. This young man would be very disappointed with himself to hear Ray Wilkins commentate on a match.

It's in his range. When City got a free kick against Newcastle on the edge of the box, they said its in Yaya's range, does that mean if it's 5 yards further forward or backwards or to the left or right he's got no hope of hitting the target.
