Football is all about opinions
Hear this all the time. What does it even mean? There are winners and losers and goals and league positions; football if anything is pretty objective compared to, say, music and film and art, which are fairly subjective.
Goals win you games, clean sheets win you championships
Total drivel. Winning games win you championships. See also you need to score goals in this league etc [Post edited 23 Jan 2017 11:18]

Sam Allardyce on Saturday.
Palace player has cramp, is sitting up OFF the pitch.
Hauls himself on to the pitch (About 80 yards away from the play). Everton and referee continue with the game - Everton score.
Sam asked if Everton should have kicked the ball out
Sam - "No, not their fault, referee has to manage the game there and stop play"
??????? Player not seriously injured and no where near play, but guess what Palace are s**t, he knows it, so lets blame the referee. |  | | |

"stonewall penalty"
Stonewall means something that is really hard or difficult to overcome, Makes zero sense in this context where people mean "definit", but has become accepted parlance |  | | |

I always assumed this referred to an outstanding misdemeanor for gay-rights rioting

The word "technical" bugs me.
As in "he's got good technical ability" Doesn't need the word technical. "He's got good ability" says it just the same without the extra word. All the pundits and experts use it and it drives me mad. |  | | |

Refereeing decisions even themselves out.

Nope, the goalie isn't so they're in all white | | | |

As opposed to those shots that start off certain goals before being cruelly nudged wide by alien spacecraft. | |

"There was contact". OK, but "contact" is not what makes something a foul, it has to be contact that gives a player an unfair advantage. It is a contact sport, after all.

'He's fit but not quite match fit'. Usually when a player misses a shot. If he's playing a match he is by definition 'match fit'.
Another thing I can't understand is when they say 'What are your thoughts, Robbie Savage?' As far as anyone knows, Robbie Savage is a comic character that has got out of hand. He is the football equivalent of Keith Lemon. [Post edited 23 Jan 2017 12:57]

Sometimes it's harder to play against 10 men
If this were even remotely true then there would have to be an urgent review of sending people off as punishment. Maybe if someone commits a really bad foul his team should be forced to play with 12 men? | | | |
