Hated Footy Phrases...

110%, if you give everything, you give it 100%. 110% my arse, sure I heard gerrard say 120% towards the back end of last season, grrrrrr
 
Everything happens "inbetween the lines" these days. I didn't mind it at first, but now it gets overused.
 
''they know how to win''.......................used when the rags score in fergie time

the West Ham way, ffs it was fifty years ago.

Great european nights...............why only used for dippers ?

Scholes can't tackle (said with a chuckle) instead of '' the dirty bastard''

Fell to his wrong foot..............surely a professional footballer should be two-footed
 
As mentioned by bellbuzzer, I hate the phrase "The (insert team name here) Way" - keep hearing fans of teams like Spurs and West Ham banging on about this - backed up by the media too!
So when did these teams actually play "The Way"? I'm 44 and don't recall either of these teams playing stunningly attractive football in my lifetime... Spurs had flashes but hardly enough to rave about. So it seems because a team had a few seasons of quality in the 50s or 60s you can say it - surely we can then say there is a "City Way", based on the Mercer/Allison years. Also heard yesterday that during the years that West Ham had the World Cup winning team together they actually never finished above 16th in the league... guess that means fat Sam actually does play the "West Ham Way" after all!

...oh, hate the word Soccer too... it f@cking football!!!
