"He won that game on his own"
Really disrespectful to his team mates. If you sent out that one player against the opposition 11 he would win the game?
===
I dunno, I think that's a good indicator of how a game panned out. Suggests the teams were fairly even till the player did something out of the ordinary.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think saying someone has had a massive influence on a game e.g Keane v Juve or Gerrard v Olympiakos is fine, but to say that he won it "singled handed" or whatever is a bit OTT.
Stan Collymore's overuse (and misuse) of the word "whereby" annoys me.
'For me' it's blatantly got to be 'stonewall penalty'
Or 'that's a penalty all day long' no it bloody well isn't it takes a few seconds to take a feckin penalty!
I also hate it when the after match interviewer asks a player 'how important?' Something is (about 8 times)
"Top Top"
Top top player, top top goal, top top save.........
"He got a touch on the ball"
As if that makes it OK to break someones legs and bring them down in the penalty areas.

I use this all the time but still 'he could have scored 3 times that match' or 'City could have scored 5 that half'. But then surely if one of those chances was scored then the following chances would not go into happen..it seems like football fans/commentators have grasped quantum physics.

Yeh these idiots do my head in. Remeber that game v Spurs when Roy Carol clawed the ball from out the net. People were saying Spurs would have won the game if it wasn't for that and even going as far as suggesting United should be stripped of the point and Spurs awarded 3 points.
But if the goal stands then United kick off from the centre spot and the whole path of the game has changed, we may have got an equaliser or even a won it!
Just plain stupidity!
They need a plan B.
Most teams don't really have a plan A. And you know that plan B really means, get a big man on and lump it too him so it looks like we are trying really hard to equalise/get the winner. Instead of playing to strengths of your best players.
He's too light weight for the PL.
When the majority of he leagues best players have been given that label.
Barca In particular "They have a poor defence."
No actually they don't particularly in the hay day of Pep, if any other club played in the manner they did they would conced double or triple the number of goals. Barca don't conced significantly more than other top sides. It's lazy lazy journalism/punditry.
When the score is 2-0 and the commentator says "the next goal is vitally important, if....... make it 3-0 you would think that's game over but if........... pull a goal back anything could happen"
Wayne Rooney and the amount of times he scratches his forehead using only the index finger of his right hand during an interview.
Mark lawrensens general smarmyness
When everybody mistakes coincidence for irony.
"How ironical that Ferdinand scores an own goal against the same team as last season and in the same manner"
Idiots, the lot of 'em. They are all clones of the same Fast Show caricature.
Tony Gale stating that any team outside the top 5 or 6 can only win if they 'get in their faces' and 'rough them up a little'.
Alan Smith's monotonous 'I'm delighted to be here', well you really sound it, Alan.
Andy Townsend praising a player the only way he knows how - to say their full name. 'Good job, Steven Gerrard.' 'Well played, Jack Wilshere.' Great tackle, Frank Lampard' Etc.
Michael Owen.
Oh and a bit off topic but Garth Crooks and everything about Garth Crooks. Especially Garth Crooks who scored a goal this week page.
I feel better now..

He only does that with English players you'll notice. Even though he's clearly Irish, you can tell by his accent.

(I(n a game currently at 0-0), "They should be 2/3-0 up" like it's a guaranteed science that had said team converted the first missed chance the game would have played out and the chances come in the exact same manner.
No sliding door theory with these guys as tactical changes and or mentality shifts don't exist in their world.
"He couldn't quite take it under his spell"
If I wanted Harry Potter I'd go and rattle J K Rowling
I think it was Mark Wright when commentating a game. If its a Premiership side v a Championship team or lower and the lower team does a hard tackle he always would says ' Their league is always more physical then the Premiership'
Fúck off....its the same.........
'Alan Shearer is reviewing missed chances, and he says, "and he should, er, he should score there."'
Again, this is something Hansen is bad at. He can barely finish a sentence
'what irks me even more is when someone tries to sound native and pronounces Car-zola's name Ca-thu-thu-tha'
Think it's Steve Wilson who goes halfway and pronounces it like the 'th' in 'the'. At least have conviction, you muppet. I remember when he arrived he and Arteta said it was 'Cathorla' but recently I watched a video were Santi himself says 'Cazorla'. Got massive respect for Jonathan Pearce.
'Mark lawrensens general smarmyness'
I quite like Lawro He's dreadful but at least he tries to have a laugh
'When everybody mistakes coincidence for irony.'
Can't remember any commentators doing this, but if they did
'Andy Townsend praising a player the only way he knows how - to say their full name. 'Good job, Steven Gerrard.' 'Well played, Jack Wilshere.' Great tackle, Frank Lampard' Etc.'
That is a great shout
Got another couple, firstly the fact that commentators (Tyldesley in particular) will raise their voices any time Wayne Rooney is in the attacking third. Lost count of the number of times I've heard "ROOOONEEEY!" shortly before a goal kick is given.
Also, Clarke Carlisle. That voice.
Speaking of lawro, what DOES he look like?, talk about lost in the 80's, with his mullet and candy stripe shirts with big collars, always slouched in his chair showing off his keg, and get a shave man, you look like a tramp
'what irks me even more is when someone tries to sound native and pronounces Car-zola's name Ca-thu-thu-tha'

Matt smith of itv is the worst for that
Schteve McClaren pretending he's dutch as well
"If [insert Messi/Ronaldo and or clichéd and sterotyped nationally - usually Brazilian)] had scored a goal like that we'd be talking about it for [insert hyperbolic measurement of time]"
