Most annoying football cliche?

[kaz7]

“It's a six pointer”.

No. No, you can only get three points last time I counted.

What do they even mean by a six pointer ? Never understood it

The potential difference of two winning outcomes is 6 points. It's actually a cliche I don't mind.

Just means that it's a Very Important Match for both sides. Usually used when the two are direct rivals for the title.
But also used when both are fighting relegation, and one will leapfrog the other if they win. But it is only three points. I've checked. Our upcoming match with Arsenal at the Etihad will only gain either side a maximum of three points. Things can still happen after that…

I’ve not read through this but “I can’t wait to get started” is mine. I personally prefer doing fuck all.

The clips with Dion Dublin added in are brilliant.

Oh, and when some ****, usually those two goons from Sky Sports are discussing a team with money to spend and they describe it as a "war chest".

Fuck off.

One man’s War Chest means someone else is“ bracing themselves for a bid”

The phrase "strength in depth".

Radio presenters especially Alan Brazil and Stuart Pearce giving everyone a nickname such as ‘Giggsy’ ,‘Lamps’, ‘Pards’ ‘Robbo’ etc etc.

‘I wouldn’t want to be in the changing room at full time’
I’m sure that’s a relief for all concerned.

I hate how every attack is called a counter attack these days when they're just attacks.

Also, "City playing from right to left.." during radio commentaries.
