the pundits come out with the same old rubbish and cliches week in week out on the TV and radio.

end to end football - it's annoying to me

anything about how amazing Gerrard is

what irritates you?

I'd say "Couldn't hit a cows backside with a banjo", but I love that little cliche.

"This is football. What can I do?"

Frank Lampard... goal. 50 yard strike, top corner. Good goal.

...STEVIE GEERRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD!! WHAT AN UNBELIEEEEEVABLE STRIKE FROM STEVIE G! 3 yard out tap in to an open goal, what a stunner, the goal wasn't bad too

if that would have happened out side the box it would have been a free kick.

anything from Motson about L'Arse

.. another of those special European nights at Anfield

anything from Motson

at all.

.. another of those special European nights at Anfield

....where you find 'The most knowledgeable fans in the world'

Abbreviating names: on BBC-level Motty, Lawro, JP; on Chelsea-level Lamps, JT, Joey...

"at the end of the day"

I'm sorry, what? it's ten to five and those poor young contortionists aren't going to roast themselves.

The Arsenal triangle

GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAARRRRRRRDDDDDD!

I forget the rest.

The constant reference to Hansen saying that you win nothing with kids.

The fact that pundits who were once forwards are supposed to think that every penalty shout is legitimate, and vice versa for defenders.

Motson saying the word "there" after nearly everything he has ever said

Liverpool fans are the salt of the earth

Most things said about Liverpool in general, and the blame shifting that goes on from them constantly showing up without tickets. And then for us to be told that it was the police handling of the situation that caused the trouble. NO IT WASN'T!!! It was the bunch of thieving c**ts showing up trying to get shi* for free as they always fu**ing do!

Some people are on the pitch. They think it's all over - it is now.

It's been all over for 42 f**king years, get over it!!

is this the team with the greatest chance of winning it all since '66

NO

One thing that bugs me is creeping Americanisms. One is the use of 'offensive' when the English word is 'attacking' (as in 'offensive play' - offensive means something quite different). Another is people referring to both injury time and extra time as 'overtime'. I'm sorry, but overtime is when you get paid for working beyond your shift, not when the ref adds on a few extra minutes for stoppages or plays an extra thirty minutes to separate two teams after a tie.... I mean draw.

I bet it won't be long before coaches and commentators start talking about deeefence instead of defence (stress on the second syllable is correct, of course, but that's not what US coaches and commentators say)
