Head Coach ... surely is the Manager. Isn't it the same thing. Manager was the Manager full stop... what's all this about Head Coach

Thing there is a difference sometimes. For example the Watford Head Coach is just that. He doesn’t manage the club or even sign players, the Technical Director has full responsibility for recruitment. Head Coaches come and go, but the system and recruitment policy stays the same.

Can’t say I’ve heard anybody else use that phrase but why do you dislike it?

Don't dislike it Ernie. In that era Shankly was probably right

'There was contact'. Usually heard when a penalty has been given following the slightest brush on a forward's leg that isn't enough to wrinkle his sock, but results in him somersaulting through the air and crashing to the ground as if brought down by a rocket launcher.

flipside, "not enough contact for me" = yes it was a foul so really should be a pen but he didn't break any bones so no, no foul.

Commentators saying "That's what he can do" following a bit of skilful play by a particular player: yes, we know, we've just seen him do it...!

There's a few Sunday league ones you can throw into this. Going 1 up or down and some fool shouting it's 0-0 we keep going.

He's/I'm a winner.

He knows/I know how to get out of this league.

We've turned a corner.

He's got a great engine.

We deserved more than that.
