Its about taking your chances in this league (As opposed to those leagues who give you points for not scoring I suppose?)
Corner ball - where did that come from - we don't say goal kick ball or free kick ball? |
It’s a results business!!!
Other businesses don’t require results. |  | | |

Chris Waddle does my head in when he’s on the radio as his favourite saying is “They’ve come off the pace.” Every 10 mins he spouts this rubbish about 1 team or the other.
“I wonder who we’ll get in the next round of the FA cup?” From Any qpr fan or manager. |  | | |

Was watching a game recently and the commentator kept using the phrase "and the keeper comes to greet the ball".
"Welcome Mr. Ball, I'm Mr. Keeper. These are my gloves.
Cup o' tea?" |  |

Yep. Never heard of a sweet right foot.
Or a cultured one. | |

Not neccessarily a definable cliche as such, but most pundits remind me of the voice in the old childrens tv show "Tales Of The Riverbank" where various pet rats, rabbits, hedghogs etc. wandered around a set and the commentator made up a story on the hoof about what was happening. Basically, hindsight which covers just about every pundit comment ever made. [Post edited 30 Nov 2019 12:08]

Goalkeepers Union.
There's no such thing. It's called the PFA and it covers ALL footballers no matter what position they play.
Plays the No.10 position.
Again no such thing. It's the only 'position' with a number attached. It's either a forward or attacking midfielder I guess. Do you ever hear 'he played in the 23 position' ? Or any other number. No. It's utter b0ll0cks. | | | |

I heard on 5live last week that a player they were talking about preferred the 4 position rather than the 6.Garbage. | | | |

“He made himself big.”
“Your Rooneys and your Lampards of this world” (insert players of choice as if there are more than one of those individuals.
“He’s playing the quarterback role.” No he’s not, he’s a midfielder. This isn’t the NFL. |  | | |

It was before the watershed so that position wasn’t mentioned. | | | |

Well yes, I believe Joe Cole was the one who first used that expression. He also coined the phrase "underlap".
The Edmund Spenser of the football world....
Oh, and not sure if we have had this one yet but the cliche which most irks me is "There was contact". What a surprise that must be in a contact sport. If you are so desperate to watch players attack in a contactless environment, go and watch netball.
Contact does not a foul make!
