Most annoying football cliche?

[PistonBlue]

Sick and tired of people saying about how playing shite and winning is the sign of a good team.
Is there a single football cliche of any description that is more annoying than this. Apart from Siberski being a good header of the ball.

The best header of a ball at the club iirc

“He turned on a sixpence and propelled the leather past the hapless custodian.”
(One for FOCs who read the Express in the fifties. For younger members, sixpence was a small silver coin.)
Can you name any other use of the word “hapless”?

“They'd run through brick walls for him”. Haven't been through the whole thread, sorry if it's already here.
An utterly cretinous expression. I wouldn't want a footballer paid several hundred thousand pounds a month to run through brick walls in any circumstances. And certainly not for me.

"Sky sports understands"

Just STFU you nonces

“We think we can get a result”.

Yeah, what you mean like Liverpool two weeks ago at the Etihad, mate?

2 nil is a dangerous lead

3 nil's even more dangerous. You could make your opponents feel that they're being disrespected.

Keep them coming! I've been rolling around laughing…

The thing that kills me stone dead is that people get money for letting this vapid shit come out of their mouths.

There’s no club bigger than United.

The coach touched me there

Was the coach Gary Glitter in this instance?

“Running into the channels.” This is a newish one, which is designed to sound pseudo-scientific, even a bit geometrical (or something…).
Yeah, it's kind of useful for footballers not to run straight into where there's space, isn't it? Like into the back of a defender?
