martyn Posted 23 January 2018 Posted 23 January 2018 Arsenal v Chelsea last year, Bellerin from a standing jump got beaten by Marcos Alonso from a running jump to score. Commentator proclaims about Bellerin "he has got to be stronger there". Massively annoying cliche used too often when a defender loses out.

Arkie Bennett Posted 24 January 2018 Posted 24 January 2018 "Front foot" and "back foot". Notwithstanding that humans' feet are at the sides, the phrases are used ad nauseum. There are other words. "Worldy". Irritating, just irritating. "Their tails are up". Makes me think a rude thought, or what happens when a horse raises its tail. "It's a good time to score". When isn't it?
Far Post Gerry Posted 25 January 2018 Posted 25 January 2018 "He's within his rights to go down." Usually uttered by a BBC pundit when a striker feels a light brush from a defender and clearly dives for a penalty.
Durnerz Posted 25 January 2018 Posted 25 January 2018 "New transfer record" hearing this way too much, every time it gets said you just know a little more of the game is dying.
StanSP Posted 30 January 2018 Posted 30 January 2018 During Huddersfield vs Liverpool tonight, as Oxlade is about to be subbed on Fletcher: looks as if Oxlade-Chamberlain is about to come on McManaman: yeah, looks as if Oxlade-Chamberlain is about to come on. Despite McManaman so much. One of the most biased around, too.

Donut Posted 11 February 2018 Posted 11 February 2018 Commentators and fans talking in the wrong tense. All the time. "If he sees that" about a referee.... it should be if he SAW that. Or "if he gives that".... no....its if he had GIVEN that. Another thing is the CONSTANT use of sarcasm. Particularly on bbc.
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 12 February 2018 Posted 12 February 2018 “Yeah, no” Why do people start sentences this way?
RonnieTodger Posted 12 February 2018 Posted 12 February 2018 It's not a phrase, but not worth its own thread. The way keepers hold onto the ball after the conceding (to time waste) is really annoying and petulant. Pickford was pathetic in doing so on Saturday.

PAULCFC Posted 12 February 2018 Posted 12 February 2018 Glen Hoddle with his "little"....one two,chip,you name it! the amount of times it's "little".
Arkie Bennett Posted 13 February 2018 Posted 13 February 2018 A player puts a shot into row Z. Commentator says "he's better than that". Clearly he isn't.

notnow john Posted 15 February 2018 Posted 15 February 2018 "He opened his body up" always sounds like an extreme case of self harming!
kushiro Posted 16 February 2018 Posted 16 February 2018 '...going forward.' It's fine in the traditional sense, you know - like they say about Liverpool - 'They look good going forward but they're shite at the back'. It's the new usage that bugs me. 'We had a bad run of results but the team are playing well and we've got a base to build on going forward.' SO annoying. To quote George Carlin, anyone who uses it that way needs to be thrown screaming from a helicopter.
