For me - 'anyone can beat anyone in this league'. Literally said in every single league from Stowmarket's to the Premier League. So obvious. |  | | |  |

"He's got a good engine"...I think that's the minimum you'd expect of someone who plays sport professionally. I've played Sunday League with a few that had bad engines (although going off 10-15 minutes after kick-off for a vomit and a lie-down probably had more to do with a heavy night before than fitness), but don't recall watching any league games where a player has slowed to a walk after a few minutes (apart from Jonathan Douglas) |  |

"This is Luton Town's away end entrance, which is in someones back garden" thanks for letting me know as if I haven't seen this on "news" sites 1000 times before
Its the same with Will Still and his 22 game unbeaten run thingy [Post edited 8 Jul 2023 14:13]

"They are enjoying the majority of possession here", see also,
"They're looking the better side"
.....after three minutes of play.......IN THE FIRST HALF
Kills me that one. |
The chap who commentate's on ifollow said this after 56 seconds, away at Cheltenham, I think. |  | | |

He's 'a baller'
Form is temporary, class is permanent. Where some 'big name' manager gets a win after 10 or so consecutive defeats and are rooted to the bottom of the league. | | | |

'They are no mugs'.
We used to hear that on the weekly basis about our opponents a few years ago. |  | | |

Probably already mentioned Premier league Era. Do they realise Dixie Dean scored more goals for Everton in a season in the 1930's than Haarland did for Man City 2023. [Post edited 23 Jun 2023 19:00]

Three games into the season, Lineker : "Their best start in 15 years".
Six games into the season, a different club, Lineker : "Their worst start in 20 years"
Ten games into the season, another club, Lineker "Their best start in 10 years"
What the hell defines the start of the season then Gary? |  |

"Nobody wants to see that in the game" after a punch-up. Load of nonsense
"Championshup is Saturday-Tuesday-Saturday-Tuesday". Its quite rare unless you have a cup run. |  |

Not a cliche but the term obsessively used by pundits. The reason why I don't watch interviews.
An interview with a player/manager following their team's win and the question starting with: 'How important was....' ?
Are these Sky pundits or others being paid for saying 'How important'.
Of course every win is very important, of course it's very important to start a season well, of course it's important to be a good run of form.
Why do they keep asking the obvious? | | | |

"No malice intended" as one player takes out an opponent with a bruising tackle. How does the commentator know the player's intent? Totally made up, cliche, BS |  | | |

I'm pretty certain that this has been covered before but "cultured left foot" has to be in this list doesn't it?
When was the last time someone mentioned a player's cultured right foot?
And what's so cultured about these feet anyway?
On the reverse side, "Stick it in the onion bag" and variants are not getting enough of an outing these days. |  |

'The onion bag' as a term for the goal net. When did you ever see an onion bag that was eight feet high and twenty four feet long ? | |
