Slightly off topic guys but this did make me laugh,
“That’s great, tell him he’s Pele and get him back on.” – John Lambie, Patrick Thistle manager, when told that his striker did not know who he was after suffering a concussion!
Here is my fave one.
If it had gone in, it would have been a goal.
Jasper Carott.
Brilliant thread. Stuff that winds me up:
1. “You couldn’t write this script”
If you were writing a script you’d definitely make it as dramatic as possible.
2. Calling a boring 0-0 between two good sides a “tactical battle”.
3. “Deliberate handball”. Are ANY handballs consciously deliberate?
4. Fans screaming when teams try and play out from the back. No, they’re not going to “just get it out” or “hit it long” because they’ve been specifically trained not to. You bellowing is only going to put them off.
5. Similar: “beat the first man”. If Eriksen wanted to float one into the box he definitely could. He’s trying to get it on a sixpence at the near post though, and often it’s marginally too low.
6. “Your Gerrards and your Lampards”. Just say Gerrard and Lampard. Already mentioned but it is a horrible one.
7. “Taking it one game at a time”. How else can you take it?!
The phrase "Game Management" - seems to be the big thing for the last two years. "That's good game management from X" etc . What the hell does that mean. It's so patronising! The game has always been about saving / defending the goal and scoring goals, and the bit in between lol. Enough of this "Game Management" nonsense!

5 does my head in. Especially when fans then claim the player is poor at corners like every corner is supposed to result in a goal. We had people complaining the TAA's corners are poor. He's got the most assists in the league from corners, despite us not having a particularly tall side.
A player shoots and it’s blocked or goes wide and the commentator says “and that really sums up their performance”. No it doesn’t! It says fack all about a team’s performance, it just shows you’re too bloomin lazy or incapable of summarising it yourself

C'mon! Don't you know a team winning comfortably has never had a shot off target during that match.

Smart save from the keeper. No idea what this means
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just quick reactions. Bright, alert.
Not a a saying but I hate it when people generalise fans of clubs. For example, "all arsenal fans are idiots" or "spurs fans always complain".
Actually, those fans of each club are made up of a cross section of the public. We are all the same!
There are no easy games in football. Yes there are!

Are you sure that is a generalisation?
Hafi and his expected goals
Not sure if they've been mentioned but I hate these tired, unimaginative cliches by modern day pundits, such as:
1. He went down a bit easily.
2. He bought/drew that foul.
Think Pep should’ve gone for B.Silva in midfield over one of Gundogan or David with Sane on wing, especially in KDB’s absence. Though I guess you can trust B.silva and sterling to put a bigger shift over Sane defensively from the wing
Yes everything carragher has said when analysing liverpool's title charge, over zealous mother f,
We get it your team is doing well ffs

"That's a superb strike there by [player.x] which just flew over the bar."
How the fluck is it a 'superb strike' if it isn't even on target.
Surely that is the first prerequisite for any shot to be able to be referred to as 'superb'
"That's a brilliant ball into the danger zone - shame nobody was there"
Why did he cross it then?!

Just leave it at everything Carragher has said.
Can't stand the sweaty faced scouse knb
“He hit that almost too well.”
we will have to give 110% if we want to get something. well your fooked pal coz 110% isnt gonna happen.
Not really a saying, but it winds me up that Stuart Robson, on ESPN FC, can't pronounce "Manchester United". He does like a weird kind of portmanteau and says Manchanited. Every. Single. Time. It is the most infuriating thing I've ever heard.
