    'There's a player in there'

    Just really annoys me for some reason

    Chris Wilder - if ever a football manager has resembled a pub landlord…

    I can even picture what his pub would be like

    Player of the match instead of man of the match

    'On his day' too. Every player apparently is a good player on their day. If they were genuinely good players they wouldn't only do it on certain days!

    Bin juice... (Used to describe most of our squad before a ball had been kicked)

    If anything he's hit it too well... (So why has it gone wide/over?)

    These fans deserve that... (Aye, it must be hard supporting teams that are constantly challenging for trophies. What about those who've supported the likes of Rochdale, Stockport etc etc that follow their club everywhere and KNOW they're unlikely to EVER see them win anything other than the odd match?)

    The whole interfering with play/phase of play in offside decisions... (If they're on the pitch they're having an effect on the actions and decisions of the defending team)

    Good touch for a big man... (So because his head is 3 inches further from his feet than the other guy he's going to be unable to control the ball? Altitude? Clouds? Needs binoculars? Load of crap. Not all short players caress the ball like Messi)

    We've got some work to do on the training ground... (Surely that's where the majority of your work should already be getting done, especially in terms of fitness, tactical planning and set piece training)

    Most of the general crap that commentators/analysts say is infuriating. They flip-flop between opinions depending on which suits the situation. For example, "He needs to be marking him tight there, give him no time on the ball. Instead, he's allowed him to move and his team's in trouble" Vs "He's marking too tight there, a simple feint has taken him out of the game and left his team in trouble"

    If it's audio only, I'm not sure how anyone knows what's going off.

    At times I just wish they would commentate on the action and not bang on and on and on about something or other. Not so much pointing at Matt anyway.

    There. I said it.

    "Player of the match" when there's 22 men on field.

    No problem with Player of the Month though?

    Weird thing to take umbrage with. Although based on this thread, maybe not.

    Man of the Month sounds like an entry for a fundraiser calendar.

    And remember you can set your betting limits. What does that mean? I thankfully have no addiction to gambling, but as there are loads of companies that will take a bet, this is utter horse manure.

    Scoring goals isn't an attribute
