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

'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 ? |
It's a fair point but some of those GM crops you know ........ |  |

Lost the Dressing Room - how can you lose a dressing room? It’s not gone anywhere!
There’s no such thing as an easy game - yes there is! Loads of them. FGR at home last season for one. On that it grinds my gears when managers big up the opposition. McCarthy used to do it a lot and by the time his pre match interview was done you’d think you were playing Real Madrid, not Rotherham. Danny Cowley does it a lot too. |  | | |

There are no easy games in this league - except Ipswich at home.
On a less Shearerish note ‘there are no easy games in international football’ trotted out before annual mismatches against San Marino, Liechtenstein, Gibraler, Faroes, Rockall …. | |

'It's a really poor penalty'.
Whereas if the keeper goes the wrong way 'It's a really calm penalty'. |  |

The term GOAT when referenced to anyone who isn’t Pele/Maradona/Messi, especially if they are playing for some non-league side. |  | | |

"They play the right way".
Winning games is the right way. |
I hate the term "anti-football" It's usually used by fans of the big six clubs who are upset their less wealthy opponents have refused to roll over for them. |  |

Improvised save/improvised shot etc.
Well, yes. Other than patterns of play and areas of focus for movement etc, most of what happens on the pitch is improvised based on the flight of the ball, position of players and more |  | | |

This is a Phil Ham over-used cliche ( or maybe an in-joke) in his reports.
"The *******-born schemer"
Massimo Luongo: the Sydney Born schemer
Idris El Mizouni : the Paris-born schemer
Dom Ball: the Welwyn Garden City -born schemer, etc
although Flynn Downes has earned himself a whole county as he's the Essex-born schemer ( or Phil couldn't be arsed to track down where he was born). | | | |

"The product on the park."
There's no product. There's 22 blokes booting a ball about a park. I'm not buying anything, 'm there to watch the football. They can take their marketing speak and shove it up their arse. | | | |

"I like Plymouth/Newcastle "obviously" because of the Mariner/Sir Bobby connection"
Well, do you also like Portsmouth/Fulham/Bournemouth/Boro/Wimbledon and Huddersfield because of the Crawford/Robson/Holland/Mowbray/Hreiðarsson and Stewart connections?

Giving 150%

Where does it stop?
It's a must win game.
I don't know where to start with this one.
"The lottery of penalties"
Begs the question why the glovesman 😉 from the winning team is invariably hailed a hero.
Concentrating on the league
Really? To finish 15th? Cup runs: meh! [Post edited 25 Jun 2023 14:57]

The claim that anyone gives more than one hundred percent is a particularly loopy phrase, as Mathematics is the only pure science to abuse it in this way is quite impure. Even to give one hundred percent is nigh on impossible given the conflicting demands that physical, and mental, activity can make on a body. Furthermore, a player who keeps a little bit in reserve is ever ready to exploit the random chances that a team game like football will present them. | |

Fergie time - a smiling, nostalgic nod to Alex Ferguson intimidating referees to keep the game going until Manchester United scored. Cheating in other words.
Liverpool fans are the best in the world - no they’re not. | | | |
