@FootballCliches @CDEccleshare @NickMiller79 Is Eddie Howe the most "I can't fault the lads today" manager after a defeat? Obviously yes, but are there other contenders or is he on a league of his own?

@premierleague @FootballCliches Are we having this? Logically it can only be equal to the shot surely? Where does the extra size come from?

@alishalyndon @smeg @head @grok who is this?

@FootballCliches Introduced to someone yesterday who said they are a "Children's safeguarding social worker, for my sins!" Surely the least 'for my sins-y' job imaginable? Or am I wrong?

@FootballCliches Aren't pitchside pundits cringe-inducing? Especially the camera tracking the winning manager as he walks the touchline, then the awkward dead air while every pundit shakes his hand. Torture.

@FootballCliches Overhead a group of 9 year olds in the park arguing which of them was "prime Yashin". Is it me, or do they almost nail their historic football heroes *too* well? Kind of heartwarming though.

@FootballCliches Am I alone in finding the acknowledgement of the set piece coach after a goal performative and really annoying? Is it standard now or very Arsenaly?

@FootballCliches Just heard Rooney say "football's gone" on Stick To Football. A rather dramatic step for the "game's gone" phenomenon

@FootballCliches When did players start almost always taking a touch with their studs before making a cross from a cutback? Certainly feels a post-Barclays phenomenon. Should we fear for the first-time cross?

@FootballCliches I was stunned to find halfway through MotD Andy Townsend being introduced on co-comms. 1. Has anyone ever done co-comms on MotD, 2. Townshend on the BBC?! It's like an out of body experience!

@FootballCliches Not just cos they're playing two in a row, but are Brighton the most 12.30 kickoff-y team? And WHam v City is the most 5.30 match in (recent) history.

@premierleague @Arsenal @FootballCliches are we having "Hall of Famer"?

[Coleblack @Coleblack_]

@FootballCliches Have we (you) discussed the "smart save" yet? It was mentioned in ESPvGER, when the shot was straight at the keeper, so can most routine saves be described this way? Seems like a short-range phenomenon to me, but otherwise a low bar.

[Coleblack @Coleblack_]

@FootballCliches I'm fascinated by the urgency by which referee assistants run in front to block a corner taker when the ref blows to deal with some pushing. What's the drama, would it be so dangerous or difficult to stop the play mid-cross?

[Coleblack @Coleblack_]

@FootballCliches Talk of a shot going "agonisingly wide" (ESPvCRO) got me thinking: this isn't just a matter of how close a chance is, but also refers to the slowness of the ball "trickling" wide? Hard to imagine a fast (but very close) shot being described this way, or is it just me?

[Coleblack @Coleblack_]

@UtdDistrict @fotomac @ManUtd @FootballCliches Yep?
