Not necessarily football related but starting sentences with SO , it happens a lot particularly with the younger generation these days and it winds me up.

Also - all of a sudden - instead of suddenly

'Basically' is the most over-used superfluous word, particularly in an office context , which is why I like to work from home .

Americans seem to say 'like' every third word, for some reason.
These go to eleven.

Teessiders love to use the word like. I know plenty who start and finish a sentence with it.

'Obviously'. If it's obvious we obviously don't need to be told.

Random expert pundit watching video - 'That's definitely offside'.


No mate, it's definitely not offside, cos the officials didn't have your view.

not one that I dislike but more amuses for some reason is when managers are asked about injured players and they for instance say "he's got a BIT of a knee".

Well it's a bit wordy saying 'By the rules of the game, that should've been called offside but as the officials had a different perspective the actual verdict is to the contrary'. No need to be so obtuse, it's obvious what they mean.

It is wordy, and a waste of time 'cos it's wrong.

'By the rules of the game, that should NOT have been called offside so I don't know why we are analysing it' would have been good.

Oh so you're just saying you find it annoying when pundits call decisions wrong? Fair enough. I thought you were one of these people who takes issue with people saying 'that was a penalty' or whatever just to be pedantic when the ref called it the other way, saying 'well it wasn't because the ref didn't think so'... that winds me up
I just don't know what I'm supposed to be

How about when reporters refer to goalkeepers as “custodians”. Who in the real world refers to them as that?

"Off the line."

When in reality it is a yard away from the six yard box.

Only those who have very recently used the word 'goalkeeper' and are digging for synonyms, I suppose .

Wasn't "We go again" fashionable for a short time until Steven Gerrard used it shortly before handing Chelsea the title?
