Complete list of football clichés

[brightonrock]

"There's contact there, he's entitled to go down..."

"Anywhere else on the pitch.."

"Backs to the wall..."

"Throwing bodies on the line..."

 

[BlockDpete]

"Outfit"

Why do certain media companies refer to football clubs as "the League 1 outfit" as if they are some sort of party dress?

Few here ...

There was contact there, he was entitled to go down

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

References to the home side entertaining the away team.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

We wanted we wanted THE PLAYER BUT WE WERE PRICED OUT.........

"The Liverpools, the Arsenals, the Man Uniteds"
".....To be fair"
"Clinical Finishing"
"If you wanna win, you've gotta score goals!"

 

[Moshe Gariani]

I've always had this thing about footballers, managers etc declaring that the next game 'is going to be a tough place to go to'.

This is my current favourite. Someone like Charlie Oatway is likely to say it about every away match.

When they assert that somewhere is going to be "a difficult place to go to" it puts me in mind of roadworks on the M1 or a limited train service...

 

[Moshe Gariani]

"The Liverpools, the Arsenals, the Man Uniteds"

and their players... "The Rooneys, the Walcotts, the Van Persies of this world"

References to the home side entertaining the away team.

I think you mean the "hosts"...

References to the home side entertaining the away team.

especially if the visitors are fellow promotion hopefuls (or strugglers)....

 

[Justice]

We will dust ourselves down and move on to the next game

 

[Cappers]

Calmness personified

At the expense of a corner

This moment in time

Parity restored

 

[Moshe Gariani]

We will dust ourselves down and move on to the next game

having taken the positives out of this game...

 

[Moshe Gariani]

looking dangerous on the counter attack

kitchen sink..

my gran couldv'e...

he's not getting any service...

box-to-box...

 

[Moshe Gariani]

make or brake

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Playing with the handbrake on.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

"I'm sure [X] would have taken [Y] if offered before the game"

This is complete nonsense. Outside of organised crime and betting scandals no-one has ever been offered anything before a game.

 

[Titanic]

It's a long way back from here.
