In a derby game form goes out of the window. Does it? Does it really?

'They could be three up by now'. Used just because a team has had three clear cut chances but with two chances coming within the same incident.

When pundits refer to players in a plural sense.

"When you look at your midfielders like your Lampards, your Gerrards, your Scholses"

You can just say 'like Lampard, Gerrard and Scholes' ffs.

Basically whatever shiyte Redknapp says

Take players x,y and z out of your side and you’ll be much worse.

Really, never

"Its football's worst kept secret"

Am on a roll now sorry!

'What is it about European nights at Anfield' or 'Another terrific Anfield atmosphere' or something to do with YNWA being a special moment which the SKY cameras always let run.

Normally anything Mcmanaman says.

When a team wins 1-0 away from home in Europe.

'A win, and a vital away goal for Chelsea there'. Well actually, with a 1-0 away win, there is no way Chelsea can go through on away goals...

“It’s the best league in the world”

Any sky match overhype.

"Away goals count double"

No they don't

Andy Gray was always criticising refs for booking players too early. So at what point in the game do we start applying the rules?

Also you hear all the time "you can't jump without raising your arms". Maybe but that doesn't mean its ok if they connect with somebodys head/throat.

Martin Keown said something like "Those games gave you the shivers on the back of your neck" when referring to the old United/Arsenal games

Think he got his sayings mixed up a bit

How all these pundits just happened to be “right behind the goal” (watching the team they supported from the terraces before becoming a footballer) when that winner was scored. They were never stuck behind a pillar or in the far corner miles away from the action.

THIS TIMES EIGHT MILLION

"He's entitled to go down there"

an Alan Shearer favourite that one

"Being 2-0 up is never an easy situation"

Cracks me up every time. Should invent a rule where the losing team get to trade places and be 2-0 up instead, so they get the "disadvantage"

Literally everything being ‘bottled it’ nowadays

Bottled is the new (opposite) world class now. Football fans love an extreme

“He has no right to score from that angle”

Alan Curbishly on MOTD one time:

"He's absolutely raped him there"

Which, to be fair, I absolutely loved

...he was asked never to return

The way commentators always thought that Mourinho owned the club.

Never Manchester United, Chelsea, Porto, Real, etc,

It's always "Jose Mourinho's Manchester United" or "Jose Mourinho's Chelsea" ad finitum.

Bollox.

When the commentator (normally Martin Tyler) does the whole Sallaaaaaaaaaah as soon as he strikes the ball in the hope it flies in trying desperately to recreate the Agueroooooo moment.

Never picked up on that before but that's so true.

The word "Obviously"
