Stupid Footballing clichés

It's a hard place to go to...........................Please tell us where it's easy, as this is said by everybody every week?!?!

2 up is a dangerous scoreline ....................Seriously?!?

We've never done well there ......................It's a totally different manager and team, what's the relevance?!?!

"There are no easy games at this level" ................No Sh#t Sherlock?!?!

Add any that drive you nuts :scarf:

We've scored too early.

If that had gone in it would be goal of the season.

It's a game of two halves.

"It is a game of two halfs":
Well I chuffing hope so ... I'm dying for a wee!! ;) (If it had just been two halfs I might have been OK!)

If a player is upset at FGR, is he: 'As sick as a carrot'??

Are parrots particularly prone to illness btw?? :think:

I used to hate Ron Atkinson talking about :'The back stick'. It's the far post, Ron, what are you gaining?? :think:

'Stonewall penalty' - used without at all understanding what stonewall means
'transfer window slams shut" - nobody is slamming anything. It just closes. When it was due to close. Nothing has slammed.

‘This match is a potential banana skin.’

A banana skin is a banana skin whether or not you slip on it. Take the ‘potential’ out of the phrase and it would make a bit of sense.

Oh my god there are so many!

The magic of the FA cup
End to end stuff
Take one for the team
He’s got a good engine on him
We worked our socks off
Handbags at 10 paces
He always puts a shift in

Some more

He’s a top, top player
Good on the deck for a big man
Good in the air for a small man
He makes things tick
He’s lost the dressing room
Hair dryer treatment
These decisions tend to even themselves out
On paper we should be winning this game
Once they cross that white line...
There’s no easy games
If Messi/Ronaldo scored that goal it would be talked about for weeks
