Title: Football cliches
Post by: Spy on Friday, November 20, 2009, 19:57:34
I'll start off with a couple of the most obvious.

post match interview - "...at the end of the day"

fan at the ref/linesman "should've gone to specsavers!"

manager on a bad run after a game - "sometimes you need a bit of luck and we didn't get that today" (Malpas said this - don't treat it like it's a game of chance, change the things you can change and take responsibility you knob!!")

"He gave 110%". It's not fucking possible to give more than 100% you moronic idiots.

"He's got a good touch for a big lad".

Anything David Pleat's ever said.

"It's a game of 2 halves."

"We/they didn't even turn up today."

"If you don't buy a ticket you don't win the raffle"


I heard an interesting variation last weekend at maidenhead - "If you don't buy a ticket you don't win the tombola"


I'm going to look to use this phrase more often, to envigorate the tired cliche :)

"If you don't shoot, you don't score." Is another variation on the theme.

Don't portsmouth have their number 12 shirt in their squad as "the fans" or something equally gay. Things were more normal when their fans wore butchers aprons complete with blood and doc martens and kicked the shit out of anything in front of them. A bunch of fucking Premiership gayers now.

The game has gone fucking gay. Drums for the fans. the clubs putting the fans as the 12th man - what utter puerile shite. I think I'll carry on watching the games in silence to ensure the club don't put the fans as the 12th man. I'd rather have a morgue atmosphere than the club put the fans down as the 12th man. Gay, gay, gay and fucking gay again.

Get in! 10 points for Austin.

In his next interview, he should say "I'm not geting carried away, I'm just going to take things one game a time" and when he talks about future games add "if selected" to the end of every sentence.
