Commentators/pundits that exaggerate to make a fact seem more exciting. For example, commentator makes a big point that a newly promoted team to the PL hasn't won at Liverpool since 1958. Completely ignoring the fact that out of those 50-odd seasons they've not been in the same division for 40 of them ! Another one "It's the final ball that let them down". Of course it's always the ****ing final ball that lets a move down. In a move of 20 passes it's never going to be the fourth, tenth, etc pass that goes astray, numbnuts.
On the other hand. My favourite ones are the innuendo ones. 'He likes to come inside' I bet he does ...
Don't know if this has been said before .. And is very topical in the transfer window. All the **** the players spout about it being the only club for them and what a big club they are. Making it sound how loyal they are and kissing the badge ****. They all do it. Or is it just me?
you have certainly done your research. I can't think why I have never put this much thought behind their comments before.
Football phrases you hate to hear? Hull City are confident of signing a proper honest to goodness back to goal hold up ****ing target man. Hate that one.
Do you remember when Roy Hattersley was asked, when applying to become a candidate for a parliamentary seat in Birmingham, what his stance was on race relations and replied "As far as race relations are concerned I have always called a spade a spade"?
To which I'm sure that the interviewer would have replied, 'I'm sorry Roy, can you spray that again?'
Amazed he got selected after that remark, innocent as it may have been it would have caused a major meltdown nowadays.
On the field of play- it is a pitch and always has been. Players making a heart sign with their hands, that just boils my piss
Only really matters if you have or do play the game but "IT'S STILL 0-0 LADS" when you're 5-0 up before half time always pisses me off. Also anything that Alan Shearer says.
Another Jamie Redknapp related one. That recent adveret for Budweiser where you send in your Sunday League goals in. He describes one by saying something as moronic as "Look at the whaz he gets on this Gary". Jesus what a ****ing melt.
