Stupid Footballing clichés

"our final ball was poor"


Yes, because if it hadn't have been it wouldn't have been the final ball!

It would if somebody had finished it off.

But then it wouldn't be a poor final ball would it

He went past him as though he wasn't there.

Different class

Oooh, that's a good point. In fact, I'd like to extend it to anything comprising the word 'class'.

'classy finish'
'classy touch'
'classy goal'
'classy save'
'form is temporary, class is permanent' (which means nothing at all as a sentence)
or worst of all, just
'classy'

"If anything, he's almost hit that too well"

In fact, would highly recommend football writer Adam Hurrey's book all about football clichés - a very entertaining read.
