Keeping the faith.
I don't like when a player is said to 'ply his trade' - WTF?
or a midfielder has a 'good engine'

They both went for THE SAME ball.

Not cliches but :

Sky personnel drooling about " Super Sunday " games p****s me off


Andy Townsend's massively irritating habit of saying " he had a shot on goals ".

What both of them at same time ?


"squeaky bum time " is pretty annoying too...

He was on the 'missing list' (Garth Crooks) what do you mean he played?! Just say he dident play well.

Every game is out 'cup final'
