Football cliches

[SpookyFrank]

I'm getting increasingly fed up with "That would have been a magnificent goal!"

Translation: he hit it really hard/from a long way away/with a ridiculous bicycle kick (delete as appropriate) but it was straight at the keeper/forty feet over the bar/he didn't actually have the ball at the time

 

[Artie Fufkin]

that was 'straight out of the top drawer'

 

[Relahni]

It's not the Liverpool way.

 

[T & P]

'He'll be disappointed with that'.

 

[SpookyFrank]

that was 'straight out of the top drawer'

I like that one

 

[Artie Fufkin]

also 'Couldn't hit a cow's backside with a banjo’ and 'bottle' (best example of this is Tim Flower's rant at Blackburn)

 

[corporate whore]

"And he wins a corner.."
"Yes Clive and just before the break - this would be a great time to score.."

FUCK OFF

When isn't?

A recent one that really annoys me: "Lionel Messi's Argentina", "Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal".
