[Ainsley Harriott]

Referee's assistant

Fuckin woke culture for ya that

 

[Guesty]

"...Clive".

Co-commentators that one, admittedly.

 

[Dalelane01]

""He took one for the team ""...never seen anyone run up and thank him for doing that yet

‘He’s asked/asking the question’ a favourite of Lee Hendrie, no idea what he’s on about

 

[Blade in Cordoba]

'Potential banana skin'. Metaphysical nonsense.

 

[Barney]

"They've got a lot of players who signed for big money...

Yer McBurnie's, yer Brewsters, yer Berge's."

[Jon Bon II]

'Got it on to his favourite right foot'

How many other right feet does he have and what makes this particular one his favourite? Is there one which is more angled for chipping the ball and one with a blunt edge for hoying the ball a fair distance? Does he carry them around in a bag like golf clubs?

“If anything he’s hit it too well.”

Fuck the fucking fuck off. If he’s hit it too well it will take the keeper through the back of the net and into row G.

Everything Glenn Twatting Hoddle says. He’s the new Andy Townsend, and Townsend was a cliche generating machine.

 

[Champagneblade]

"He's lost half a yard of pace."

Football is the only place anyone ever uses that measurement.... and in the wrong context.

And similarly Star Wars...

Apparently Han Solo did the Kessel run in 12 parsecs when parsec is a measure of distance not time, like the above.

“If anything he’s hit it too well.”

Fuck the fucking fuck off. If he’s hit it too well it will take the keeper through the back of the net and into row G.

Everything Glenn Twatting Hoddle says. He’s the new Andy Townsend, and Townsend was a cliche generating machine.

It's like being in an exam, getting the question wrong and claiming to the teacher "if anything, I answered the question too well!"

"Game of two halves"

No shit, be a bit worried if it was a game of 3 halves!

 

[Blacksea]

We aren't letting you hear playbacks of today's goals because of the Queen

Bouncebackability.

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

The government is trying to control us with vaccines

 

[Lightsoot]

With their squad you’d expect them to be ‘there’ or ‘thereabouts’ this season.

 

[Trigger Blade]

There’s a Sky commentator who consistently describes a player controlling the ball as “bringing it under his spell”, which is linguistic gobbledegook.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Sounds like this thread needs to listen to the football cliches podcast...

There's enough of them for it to be a weekly podcast!

 

[Stevo]

"look at those blue and white piggy c£&ts" is one of my faves

[Seth Rollins]

'Wand of a left foot'

 

[Eza Blade]

Great lob……..talking a bout slongs or deft lifts over the keeper on the volley

 

[Muttley]

He won a penalty.


You can't "win" a penalty.

 

[Gaini Blade]

'This lad knows where the goal is.'

Reassuring.

 

[penthouseblade]

The corridor of uncertainty….always makes me chuckle!

 

[cahill]

Sky Commentator hyping up every « derby » no matter how tenuous giving them silly titles such as A82 Derby , yesterday it was the Port derby

by saying « this is personal » Rangers v Celtic who play each other 45 times each season is the worst example of over hype
