[Football] The great football cliche LIST.

[Biscuit]

Right NSC, let's compile the most comprehensive list of football cliches the world has ever seen.

I'll start:

• It’s a game of two halves.
• Too good to go down.
• There’s no easy games in this league.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Too good to go Down,just how many times have you heard from a player/club member,how the mighty fall in their own self belief !

 

[Perry Milkins]

These are a good side that can hurt you.

He has a great engine.

That goal goes in and it changes the game.

 

[lawros left foot]

Shouldn’t be losing to a team like Brighton

 

[pearl]

The Best Team Lost

 

[Perry Milkins]

Everyone on the pitch bar the ref saw that.

If the score stays like this......

Rub your eyes [name of team] fans and look at the score now.

 

[banjo]

It’s a funny old game.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Scored too early - utter nonsense, like anyone ever actually thinks if only we hadn't scored that 3rd min goal.

 

[LlcoolJ]

"And that's a penalty to Crystal Palace but it looked as if there was minimal contact on Zaha"

 

[Perry Milkins]

Unbelievable Jeff

Zaha goes down again

Two blocks of four,

 

[Taybha]

2-0 is a really dangerous scoreline to defend .

 

[Biscuit]

• Men against boys.
• That was schoolboy defending.

 

[TheJasperCo]

"Asking the question of..." is a relatively new one that grates.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

at the end of the day .....

"That looks nasty" ..... followed one minute later by "he's up again"

Take one game at a time

We're not thinking about the final (yeah right)

 

[Badger]

He couldn't have hit it any better (as it sails over the bar)

Not for me, Clive.

 

[TheJasperCo]

Oh, and my old favourite:

"The assistant lino has been struck with what appears to be a flask cap."

 

[Brian Fantana]

'You COULDN'T write a script like this'. Well, you could and you can. It's a last minute winner in a sport where goals are quite commonplace. It's not the bloody matrix.

 

[Biscuit]

• He snatched at that.
• I’ve seen them given.
• He’s on fire at the moment.

 

[Noah All]

I didn't see it

Hopefully we can get a result

 

[Simster]

He couldn't have hit it any better (as it sails over the bar)

Not for me, Clive.

He's almost hit it too well, Clive.
