Most Hated Footie Clichés

[guyfawkes5]

What's your most hated football cliché, from punditry, player or public alike?

Answers may range from idioms ("game of two halves") to ideas ("Barca are the greatest"), and may be despised for their inaccuracy or sheer volume or repetition. Extra points may be awarded proportionally to the offense you generate in upholders of the status quo.

My own (for the moment):

Every Sunday is "Super Sunday" on Sky Sports...

Does Andy Townsend count? Just in general?

Andy's only claim to originality is his often hilarious apologism for current members of the England squad. I almost make it a point to watch ITV coverage of Chelski games just to see his comical indignation for Terry getting yellows and reds for ridiculously malicious hacks and two-legged challenges.

The (apparent) fact that Man Utd are the only team in existence with a large number of supporters that don't actually live within 500 yards of the ground!

You get to love the whole 'salt of the earth' hypocrisy when Livermule fans start throwing the usual 'plastic flags' insults about... in a pub in Cork.
