 Something someone posted on the CL thread gave me this idea. So what's you favourite or maybe that should be most annoying football cliché?

Mine is "He’s hit it too well". How the eff can that make sense?

 People who throw about formations in their football analysis without knowing what they are talking about... Much of it is becoming cliched nonsense like "4-5-1 is a defensive formation", it's not necessarily.

 Not so much a cliche but English commentators who'll find the most frivolous 'fact' to tie in with something to do with England. :sleep:

 The number of times people say "that's football" or "that's tennis" or " that's golf" etc etc etc to describe some misfortune does my head in. What they mean is "that's life!"
