" He put his body on the line"
What a load of b0ll0cks. He just blocked the ball with his body. We did that every game when I was a kid. Armed forces put their bodies on the line, not footballers. |  |

I don't like 'It's just a coming together' as is now used by lots of commentators when a blatant foul has been committed and it now seems to be used in such scenarios as say when in the home game against Leicester two seasons ago Chaplin was completely cleaned out in the Leicester penalty box and wasn't awarded what should of been a blatant penalty (and yes I'm still bitter about it). I can't remember whether these words were used in this exact passage of play when Chaplin was taken out but I've heard in used in similar such situations.
I just hear this phrase used so often now and it really bugs me as it tries to excuse certain players completely taking another one out. |  | | |
