Most annoying football cliche?

[Dial M 4 Mercer]

‘Their fans will be hoping they pull out a plum draw against Man Utd away in the next round’.

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

I bet they would.

After the goal, "The keeper's not stopping that". Apparently not

Ally McCoist "and I've got to say.." No you fucking don't!

“He’s put that one into Row Z.”

What, the 26th row? In a modern stadium like ours that’s the top of the first tier. Very feasible to hit the target while aiming for Row Z if you’re close enough to the goal.

Used to think about this a lot with my seat being in Row Y.

"Manchester City was created in 2010"

You can't read the numbers in the badge, do you?

That happens to be a cliché that I find worthwhile. In any case, I feel it.

Calling either of the main Sheffield teams ‘Sheffield’. Sheffield FC are a completely different team, it’s Sheffield WEDNESDAY and Sheffield UNITED.

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

Well noted !
So this match could be called a six pointer before it started. In relation to these two teams specifically, because the winning team would gain an advantage of three points to the opponent.

I didn't invent the term, just explaining the rationale behind it.
It's a bit rediculus maybe, but it's useful to refer to, as we know that the six pointer games against Arsenal are the only games we are guaranteed to shorten their lead, if we win..

To quote Glenda Hoddle, when there's been no goals scored, it's " Nought-nought." FFS

Also, for a returning manager, or player, "He knows the club."

And, "Scoring goals for fun." Obviously, this was invented by someone who never played in a Stuart Pearce team.

And, "He's making the pitch bigger." No, whatever is happening, he really isn't!

 

[give it to gordon]

commentators calling the rags just 'Manchester'

 

[argyle]

"He's in a rich, vein of form..."

All the cliches posted are said every week on Soccer Saturday.

Liverpool fans ''they know their football'' Newcastle fans ''they're so passionate'' (ridiculous sycophantic cliches by the media as always)

The Redknapps, both under achieved but are seen as some kind of oracles on football, they are both stealing a living

You just can’t write Manchester United off.

No change for Harry then. Wonder if he's still telling the taxman that his dog's earning it.

With that kind of mentality it's always surprised me that he never managed Liverpool!
