      Aye, he's another one who has taken a lot of that type of stick. Some of the cliches listed in this thread are just short had ways of saying something complex but which happens a lot in football - which I'm happy with - others are just lazy thinking. The zones not scoring goals being the worst example of people not making any effort to examine what is happening or why it is being done like that.

              OOOOOOOOOOOOH I got a killer Cliche:

              "Newcastle are a big team"

              They are not a big ****ing team at all. Who the **** supports Newcastle outside of Newcastle? What the **** have they ever won?

                  "He has a good engine"

                  When justifying a player who is clearly inept is put into a starting lineup. Fans/press use that term to justify his inclusion as they cannot find anything else positive to say about him. And yes I have Jordan Henderson in mind

                      I think 'The Mixer' is my favorite zone on that pitch. I love it when the commentators say 'Back in The Mixer'

                            omg. I can't believe no ones said this,

                            'we've/they have turned a corner'.

                            If i had a quid for every time that was said under Houllier.

                            I'd have a tenner now.
