Annoying phrases used in football you'd like to disappear (if only)

On the OS 'City deal in Smith' - ugh, deal in??

People on here who ask 'why are United signing players when the transfer window doesn't open until 1st July'. I may have mentioned this before.....

When commentators describe the kit a team is playing in - 'City are wearing red shirts, white (this should be the law) shorts, and red stockings'. Stockings? Really? They are ******* socks

'Too good to go down' - bollocks, that's why they are where they are

The phrase often used is '6 Pointer' when only ever 3 points are awarded for a win.

I believe a draw should be 2 points for the away team and 1 point for the home team, thereby the 3 points available at the start of the game is correctly shared.

Interesting idea that I've not heard before.

But wouldn't that make the away team more defensive minded and affect the level of entertainment?

Not a phrase but when did players start covering their mouths to speak to each other on the pitch!  Absolute nonsense, it's like a disease which has spread amongst elite footballers to interested in their own self importance!

That seemed to start with Doubles in tennis .

A game of two halves - as opposed to a game of three or four halves .

We asked questions of them - wrong on so many levels.

 

There are some levels on which questioning could be excused....

'Who's that team they call the Rovers?'

'Warnock, Warnock what's the score?'

'Cheer up Holloway, oh what can it mean?' 

'Who are ya? Who are ya?'

'What the effin hell was that?'

'Is this a library?'

etc

I remember a time in Stockport where the question chanted was 'Betty where's your hotpot?' genius.

A John Motson special I recall:

"and for those watching in black and white, Liverpool are in the red shirts and Everton in blue shirts"

My girls find it amazing that we had black and white tv when I was a kid

Makes you sound old, huh!?
