Football phrases you hate...

[slipstream86]

Player/Manager interviews where they answer a valid question with a prefix of "Look" before "bla bla bla" to somehow reinforce the importance of their point when they haven't actually articulated anything of specific significance.

"One game at a time" err....You're supposed to be a professional manager/player. There is always a bigger picture than the next game.

"We need to win football matches" - Usually in response to a team not getting the desired result yet showing some positivity in performance. Everyone goes on about winning matches, but winning football matches? Now that is absolute genius.

Any commentary from hinchcliffe

If a player does some skill.. ‘If that had been Messi or Ronaldo, everyone would be talking about it’ The likes of Shearer say this all the time the gormless slugs.
It wasn’t Messi or Ronaldo and it doesn’t make any difference you shiney sweaty gopher.

[JammyP]

Everton that

GOAT

 

[Micky_T]

"second phase"

It's a term I've only ever heard female commentators use. Maybe male commentators say it as well but it doesn't grate on me as much.

"and it's all come down to the last day of the season"

Anything from Martin Tyler

 

[GoodisonRoadSupperBarWool]

Not seen it but

He’s a great shot stopper.

 

[Jokerdan]

'That's betta...' - Andy Townsend.

If he doesn't say it once he must say it at least a dozen times per game.

 

[Sticky Toffee Pudding]

You couldn't see his ass for dust.

 

[KaiserEFC]

“he’s still young, there’s still time”
