Yorkie Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Has, for eons, been one of the top 3 nonsensical pundit clichés. Why would everyone go on about Barca scoring a goal which, by their standards, would be pretty average? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 It doesn't seem to sink in with a lot of people that it's the consistency that gets them the praise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 The opposite has long since been true, barely an eyebrow is raised anymore at yet another preposterous Messi dribble and finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papavasiliou Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I think I've said this one before, but I have never understood it? "If Real Madrid had done that, we wouldn't stop going on about it." "If Messi scored a goal like that, everyone would be raving about it." Real Madrid do world class things on a game by game basis, because they're a great team. Messi seems to score an amazing goal every other week. So people rightly talk about them. So why when some bloke from Barnsley scores a belter out of the blue, do pundits and fans spout this s****? Just seen one on twitter about Kane's goal last night, complaining that it isn't getting enough praise. But if Barca had scored it, you wouldn't stop hearing about it. f*** off. Semi-similarly: Our fans commenting on practically every challenge from every other game with the old "If Shelvey/Mitro had done that..." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I think I've said this one before, but I have never understood it? "If Real Madrid had done that, we wouldn't stop going on about it." I like that one. It suggests a self-awareness of their own redundancy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 The ultimate in PFMspeak. "You have to earn the right to play " Which translates into we're going to hoof and chase and do a bit of fouling for most of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Maybe more fitting to post it in the unpopular opinion thread, but the word regime. As soon as owners gets on the wrong foot with fans either through bad results, negligence, incompetence or ill will, they are instantly labeled as a regime.

Optimistic Nut Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Everytime a ball goes across the face of goal or straight to the keeper, "all it needed was the slightest touch and it would have been a goal". Hartson's just done it there. They showed the replay and the striker did get a decent little touch...wasn't a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Day Gadgie Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 When someone scores with a nicely placed shot or a thunderbastard from 30 yards but the keeper has managed to get the very ends of his finger tips to it before it goes in. Then some 2nd rate fuckwit commentator like Tony Gayle or Brian Marwood comes to the conclusion that, "he got a hand to it so he should've saved it" - Watch it again instead of just copying other commentators you fucking clown. It was quality shot and the keeper actually did well to get anything on it, if anything he was just a bit unlucky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Don't think anyone will agree with me on this, but since being a kid I always didn't like the term 'unlucky to hit the bar/post', particularly if it was some slap-dash punt and the player didn't even look at the goal first. I'd always thought the player was lucky to even get it that close, considering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 During any European match, 'if that was in the PL it would have been a yellow card' to describe every single foul, whether or not it was actually worthy of a booking.

Is it not the other way around? Hartson said yesterday in the Arsenal game "they don't like the studs going up in Europe" They don't like that in England either man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishMagpie Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I know it's trivial and probably won't affect me directly as a supporter of Big Mike's anti cup FC but it really boils my piss when after cup finals when the tv folk are interviewing (normally the winners) at pitch side and rest of the team are celebrating and 1-2 players are kept to the side to answer fecking idiotic questions (more so than normal "are you glad you won?") then at the end of the pointless interview the interviewer says something like "go and join your team-mates" as if they need their fucking permission or something.
