Quote"Gusto and Aplomb" as in "he's taken to the role with gusto and aplomb"
Only in football is the expression ever used by anyone.
Most Annoying Football cliche
The Most Annioying football cliche/statement doing the rounds at the moment has to be
"The premiership is a very ordinary league you take out the top three or four teams matt and what have you got? i think you'll find its very very ordinary matt."
as uttered by the annoying w**nker lawrensen on the matt cooper show.
Prior to this i did think this idiotic statement belonged solely to Drunkphy who regularly blurts it out during his wonderfully uninsightful half time CL analyses.
Is this not the case with all leagues?!? remove the top four teams and you have the mid-table teams....... what are they on about?
Does Dunphy decide what pub he's going to stay in for the night by mentally removing their top four sellers and deciding from whats left.... well u take out the guiness, heineken, budweiser and the bulmers and whats this pub really got to offer me?????! ( more than likely top shelf drinks with dunphy but you can appreciate the comparison)
Is it just me??????

" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
About to "pull the trigger".
"adjudged" that word is not used anywhere else!
UCD sha-la-la
Annoying Dublin Junior sides-"Watch your house Anto"..."Show for it Decko"..."Do it early Charlo"...
Very annoying indeed.
Paul Doolin (or anyone else) trying to blag poor league form despite spending a relative fortune by saying that they're "still building the team; it's a new team and they're still gelling", etc, etc.
It's not just you and even that theory doesn't hold up with the English teams doing well in the UEFA Cup against the other non-top 4 teams.Originally Posted by eighties mullet

Annoying cliche when a forward creams someone in a tackle: "it's a forward's tackle" as if forwards aren't supposed to know how to tackle
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
I hate when people go on about their "bogey team". There's no such thing, they're just better than you. Shut up.
Top managers *cough* Wenger, Fergie, Mourinho *cough* claiming that they didn't get a proper look at one of their players diving/cheating/getting sent off.
Just once when one of the them says that I want Sky to go 'well here's a monitor, have a look now' and see what the manager's reaction would be
We have to stand up and be counted.
Its a man's game.
Give 110%.
Take it one game at a time.
But my favourite of all is the old GAA special...
Hunting in packs.
well there is the classic
'It was a game of two halves'
Really? **** me I thought I was watching basketball and that they had forgot to blow up for the first and third quarter
and has anyone noticed Jaime Redknapp introducing his very own catchphrase of
'he did ever so well'
the guy literally says it about twice every minute
I hate the way everyone in the football world is so inarticulate , listen to any manager or player interviews and they nearly always speak in cliches and metaphors , its just really annoying.
All credit to Gustavo for pointing that out.
Also any half decent shot, pass or save is described by Sky, Alan Parry in particular, as "brilliant".
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
'At the end of the day it's the three points that matter. '
Hate this one. JOS used it after we struggled to beat Cyprus 1-0 last year.
ok well then some examples!
"giving 100%"
using the word passion as a word for effort ,in UK they are obsessed with players being "passionate" and "up for it" probably to the detriment of actually being skillful
"bread and butter"
increasingly managers use the term "at the football club" rather than just club for some reason
' Puts a bulge in the aul onion bag'...Tommy Smith of ESPN......Ass puckering.
Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.
The Bryan Hamilton special 'I think the referee got it absolutely right on this occasion' ......usually because it's fairly clear the referee might have gotten it absolutely wrong
A patriot is someone who knows how to hate his country properly.
If you cut him he would bleed (club colours)
Reminds me of the Phil Thompson quote from years back:'I have red blood flowing through my veins'.
