Any one who starts sentences with if I'm being honest just makes me think they are being dishonest the rest of the time. 

Same as when they say “No disrespect”, which usually precedes or is subsequent to a completely patronising comment. 

[sheepcrooky]

“Square ball”. No it’s not, the ball is round, it’s a square pass.

"Yer Liverpools, yer Barcas, yer Madrids" 

 

Does my box in that shit.

Says a lot that when some mongo pundit invents his own mutation of the english language, its then copied by every other pundit/player ad infinitum.

Ditto starting all their sentences with ‘Listen’ as if theyre away to hit us with something groundbreaking that we have to pay attention to as opposed to the standard simpleton cliche in mutated english. 

“Listen, yir Lampards, yir Terrys, yir Rooneys”

[Proud Dandy]

Every EPL game I’ve watched this season involves one of the pundits mentioning a “low block” and the rest of the pundits nodding in agreement, pisses me off every time.

Winding down the clock. 

Orchestrating the midfield. 

[manboobs109]

War chest

Get the chequebook out

Open the biscuit tin

Get them on a pay as you play

[Reed or deed]

Nice to see you, to see you nice.

[aberdeen1970]

Ooh, shut that door 

[Fridge]

No games are easy at this level, we don’t underestimate them when they are probably saying in the dressing room if you don’t horse this pile of shite you’re getting fined.

Keep out of the black and into the red

Nothing in this game for 2 in a bed

Take a look at what you could have won

Cash you won earlier for charity... that's safe

Just watched the highlights of Juve v Porto last night 

A classic reserved for latter stage cup matches 

losing team all sit down on the spot they are at when the final whistle goes.

 

wtf is that all about. 

[strachanmcgheegoal]

That happens when the players in the losing team have given their absolute all to address the situation.  Don’t worry if you don’t recognise it.

Yeah i fucking hate that. See also players/fans(adults) crying.

Get a fucking grip

[WesthillWanderersFC]

Can we add “be careful what you wish for” to the list? 
Fuck me, heard it ad nauseam this last week.  

[FineandDandy]

Not so much a cliche, but boils my shite when you see the same folk moaning about the old firm and Scottish football then sneer at other clubs for “Having ideas above their station” 

Not so long ago St. Mirren for getting laughed at because they said they wanted to go for top 6 and possibly top 4.

Story in today's guardian about how dundee utd is cliche for shite in Nigeria. It's quite detailed.

Stonewall penalty  or it's a stonewaller.  I'm sure stonewall is a gay activist group. Gay penalty.

That cunt Ricky Foster uttered those words twice in the space of a minute in lastnights Sportsound podcast.

[afc1903mad]

It was a game of two halves..............and Aberdeen couldn’t score in either of them.

He tries sounding clever when he’s on radio or telly but ends up sounding like a fudge. Just another that likes to throw out lazy cliches.

Do you sit on the office floor if a project falls through?

Listened to the Red Friday podcast and heard a couple of classics

Darren Young uttered the phrase "be careful what you wish for" and Andrew Shinie suggested that we need to "know our place" in the new manager search. 

It was basically a shitfest of promoting mediocrity.

The more the weeks go by, the more I wish Shinie would just fuck off. 
He’s the dictionary definition of mediocre, beige, bland...all of them.
