Read on another thread but making player or club names plural.

"Your Giggs's, your Rooneys, your Ferdinands..."

This one has maybe been going on for a while but it is annoying and seems to be becoming common again.

"Get Back to where we/they belong" - usually refers to a team who believe they are bigger than the level they are playing at, talking about their desire to get promoted. 

Thinking clubs should have a 'level' rather than accepting that the leagues are a meritocracy.

"Ridiculous" - being used to describe some notable achievement or skilful play

"Rapid"

"It's one of them" - typically used by the likes of Charlie Adam or Jamie O'Hara on Talksport when asked to comment on just about any topical talking point - (see also "It's like everything else")

We won't be back to where we belong until we're taking scalps around Europe.

 

What phrases have managers or players came out with which have gone on to become cliches?

Mourinho's parking the bus is widely used now.

You need a certain mentality at Celtic and Rangers. You are expected to win every week.

“He just about got there” when he did.

It’s always a difficult ground to go to (no matter where it is - the further away the more difficult it is)

He hit it too well.

If a goal is ruled out or penalty not given, and a team loses by a single goal, pundits and managers think the game would have played out the exact same way had they been given (i.e. if that had been given it would have been a draw)

Going on every season that Hibs are an exciting team.

Net transfer spend.

If you sell three players you don't want for £30m and sign a player you do want for £25m, you've still signed a £25m player.

Jurgen Klopp seems to think he's doing well against all the odds.

Neil Lennon or the media will probably trot the same out at some point re the Tierney money.
