To ‘throw the (proverbial) kitchen sink at’ = putting the opposing team under pressure

"We'd have taken a point if offered before the game"

It is obviously against competition rules and no team has ever been 'offered a point' before the game in the history of football... (apart from Tottenham and Southampton in 1978...)

He's done him like a kipper - what, nicely smoked and vacuum packed?
The crowd are like the twelfth man - maybe they can come on as an unexpected sub?
Pleased with the performance but not the result - where are we in the performance table, then?
We aren't getting ahead of ourselves - no-one ever has, but I'd pay money to see it
He had the ball on a string - think you'll find that was a yo-yo

"As far as I'm concerned you can throw all those medals you've won in the bin, because you won them all by cheating"

Again, not a cliche. That one is on a par with Shankley and the offside rule quote:

"If he wasn't interfering with play what was he doing on the pitch?"

When the response to a question is started with: "Listen......" or "Look....."
I find that pretty irritating

Not sure I've seen this one; not exactly a cliche but something that is said repeatedly by some players (so it is a chliche then). My recollecton is it was started by Lord David Beckham :love: . The context is the thing; it was the phrase he used to start his first reply an interview. Brace yourselves:

"As I said earlier"

How the actual **** can you have said something earlier in an interview that hasn't started yet, you fluffy-faced arsewaxed buffoon?
