At last, something we can all relate to.

@GKUnion @CDEccleshare @FootballCliches are we having this? A football cliché actually has its own podcast?

@FootballCliches Surely now you have to start with "the boys are back in town"

Neil Warnock: “When I retire I don’t want applause or a minute's silence.”

“I want them to be chanting 'Warnock's a wanker' over and over again".

In his final game last night he got his wish… 🤣

🇫🇷 French journalist Karim Bennani explains how Thierry Henry help launched his career:

"In 2006, I had been an intern for four days at RMC. Thierry Henry was in Paris to announce his new boot sponsor. My bosses said to me: "If you succeed in getting Henry to appear on Luis Fernandez's show, you are a genius". My bosses were laughing, thinking that I would never succeed... Especially since Thierry Henry had not spoken to the media for a while.

So I arrive on site and at the end of his announcement for his new equipment supplier, I slip discreetly behind the stage. As he passes, I grab Henry by the arm, and he glares at me. I feel like I can only say one sentence to try to get him.

I tell him, “I’m an intern, if you pick up this phone, you can change my life.”

Henry replies: “Really? OK, give it!”

So he takes my phone and agrees to appear on the show for 30 minutes before hanging up and saying to me: “I hope this will help you in your career, my little one."

Thanks to him, I got a fixed-term contract at RMC the next day. And when we met again at Amazon a few months ago, Henry explained to me that he had accepted because I had some nerve." 👏

Imagine Pep as the England manager though. Stood there bewildered as someone from the FA has to explain to him that offering Ireland £150m won't change Evan Ferguson's nationality.

@FootballCliches Mike Dean doing commentary?!?!

[Adam Crafton @AdamCrafton_]

Palpable fear that today ends with a Man Utd midfield blitzing, Roy Keane talking about cuckoo-land while describing Hojland as a toddler and then Gary Neville impassioned about the ownership. So if you could please surprise us then that would be lovely @ManUtd

What was Mikel Arteta talking about?! 😅

Never seen a press conference answer like it 😂

In positive nature news this month, the newest addition to the beaver kits at Holnicote is thriving. Earps, named after England goalie Mary Earps to celebrate the Lionesses making it to the World Cup final, joins siblings Russo, Toone and Rashford - a team of eco-engineers.

Compare and contrast the number of male footballers who have spoken up in support of Jenni Hermoso compared to Benjamin Mendy, and what that tells us about their mindset and environment.

[Arpan Banerjee @arpanban95]

@FootballCliches I'm not okay with low volleys being described as "grass cutters". Surely they're daisy cutters. But the BBC commentator on MOTD described Gibbs White's goal as a grass cutter - weird - can't have it surely. What next, lawnmowers?!
