Most annoying football cliche?

He’s come inside the defender

Very tempted to repost the Kenneth Williams photo (see above).

What was the other guy, a hologram?

Said it before and will say it again….

Skysports with their cocks out “It’s a London derby this weekend”

Of course it is, there’s a London derby every other fucking weekend

‘The players on City’s bench alone are worth (insert first figure which comes into your mind)’.

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

Almost every pitch is the same size

Yes, much more standardisation now. In older times pitches varied in size quite a lot. Maine Rd was huge, Highbury was tiny.

‘It’s the sign of a good team that they can still win even if they are not playing well’.

It’s actually more of a sign that the opposition are really poor.

Back to square one.

 

[KS55]

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).

I’ve noticed that when we beat a team, they get zero points.

2-0 is the most dangerous lead and youre most likely to concede in the 5 minutes after you score

neither are true

0 - 2 is ok then.

'You could have had 2 keepers in net and they wouldn't have stopped that'

I bet they would.

 

[horlock_was_super]

The keepers in no mans land there.

Why? Is it Christmas 1915 again?

He didn't hear the shout? How the hell would they know?
