What are your three most hated words/phrases used in the game of football.
Mine are:
1) 'The business end of the season' - Used by Clive Tyldesley from February onwards in the Champions League
2) 'Galacticos' - Used to describe Real Madrid, again offered up on a weekly basis by Tyldesley.
3) 'Shrewsbury Town nil'. d**n you James Alexander Gordon.....

1. Clive Tyldesley and his "who could forget that night at the Nou Camp", whenever Man U, Bayern or any team is playing in the Champions League.
2. The phrase "He's got a good engine" always gets on my nerves.
errr that's it.

"he's got good feet for a big lad"
usually said as if the player does not actually have the right to possess ball skill on account of them being over 5ft11

"I've kept another clean sheet Dad. That's a pound you owe me!" Heard all too frequently from Welsh Shrew in his days of junior football

Mine's "fortress" I have lost count on the amount of times I have read in the star or heard a player/manager saying "we want to turn the meadow into a fortress" or "shrewsbury try and keep the good run going at fortress meadow" We are 100% guarenteed to lose and it happens everytime

Heard all too frequently from Welsh Shrew in his days of junior football Actually, come to think of it it wasn't that frequently was it?.......... On another point, given the variance in inflation under Major's Britain, how come the £1 per clean sheet didn't change between 1988 and 1998?

I reckon that it should have started at 50p, so that £1 at the end was quite fair! Anyway you never challenged it

'To be fair' - a totally meaningless phrase.

there are quite a few
'game of two halves'
what annoys me is a studio pundit saying the game is impossible to predict, then spends 10 minutes predicting something
nothing worse than 'it is only a game'
no it is not, it is a significant percentage of our time, effort, money and thoughts, and for many of us is the thing we have been hoping for the longest

Absolutely hate that one. Paddy O'Dwyer at Featherbed Lane knocked that one out of most of the kids in his class. He always used to reply with "no I don't, please tell me". Use that phrase often myself as well. Its a pleasure to look at the lack of understanding on the other person's face when you say it. They usually reply with "You don't what?", to which I say "You said to me 'you know', but I don't know, please tell me".
