Admittedly these are more football focussed, but non-football ones are more than welcome.

1. Commentator after a penalty is scored by a good penalty-taker - "It was never in doubt". Ehhhhh, yes it was you fool.

2. (Usually found on forums) "You couldn't make it up". Oh really? I couldn't think up this exact scenario in my head? Shut up.

3. After a club signs a new player - "He can't be any worse than the dross we have now". What if he's a 70-year-old quadriplegic?

4. "[Insert name of underdog] won't want to concede a goal this early in the game" You think?

5. Post-match - "He gave 110% out there today". No, he did not.

"I'm just touching base" makes me cringe everytime someone says it.

When someone is talking about something they don't like and they say "I wouldn't thank you for that", how fucking rude"

'It's Baltic'

i don't know about the worst phrases but the best phrases are "The Weak shall Perish" and "Killing is my business .... and business is good"

"Over-exaggeration"

Kettle of fish.
Like shooting fish in a barrel.

I would like my fish on a plate, not in a kettle or a barrel, thanks.

'2-0 is a dangerous score line' annoys the shit out of me. It is a completely redundant term and means nothing. 3-0 score lines have been over turned, does that make them dangerous? 1-0 score lines have been held on to, does this make them safe?

Just don't use it as everyone knows if the opposition score it will be 2-1. That is basically what it means in summation.

"Deja Vu all over again" gets on my tits. The phrase is just Deja Vu.

"at the end of the day"


"No offence but"

Not really a phrase but "ehhmm" as in

"I think we played well...ehhmm....And that we deserved the result.....ehhmm...."

"I'm living the dream." What, you're standing in the playground, and you've forgotten to put your trousers on? You're sitting an exam, and you can't make sense of any of the questions? You're being attacked by pirates, and your right arm has turned to jelly? No, you're on a TV reality show (silent scream..)...

It gets dark?

If I hear someone else wanting to "unpack those objective" of "square the circle" I will not be responsible for my actions.

Literally is the worst word in the dictionary. It is literally never used correctly.

[lanky_ffc]

When a player hits a shot that narrowly misses and the commentator says, "He couldn't have hit that any better."

[The Rebel Piper]

usually in reference to some multi-million pound, international centre forward...

"he certainly knows where the goal is!"

you'd fucking hope so for £150,000 p/w

i've always hated 'answers on a postcard'. what the f**k does that even mean?

I'm guessing you're of the internet generation. TV and Radio programmes sometimes asked viewers/listeners a question. Before email and SMS was available they'd ask for 'answers on a postcard'. The Royal Mail stamp for a postcard was cheaper than for a letter.

I guess this one will die out soon along with 'change the fucking record' and 'carbon copy'.

[Milevskiy]

When a big team play a wee team in the cup it's always "They're well organised". Of course they fucking are, they're a fucking professional football team.

[Gordon EF]

"End of". I'm pretty sure this started to be commonly used after some gobby dumb hoor off Big Brother used it about 300 times in the house. Almost exclusively used by c***s.

Similar to "he hit it too well".

Archie McPherson would just say ''WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF! '' to cover the near miss.

THAT was acceptable
