A groin injury (only when there's an upcoming friendly for the national side) = can't be bothered to travel to play some pointless game (or if English player: Can't be arsed to spend a couple of days with John Terry)
 
good engine = runs alot , occasionally with some effect
old fashioned centre forward = traditional centre forward = english centre foward = big lad = fat shit
right sided midfield forward = left footer
 
Sorry is some of these have been done.

He/I gave 110% - Physically impossible but someone being subbed/interviewed after losing.

It's a game of two halves - one team was shit, then the other team was shit.

There are no easy games - manager covering his back

Funny old game - Harry Redknapp after losing to Wigan at home (dont know if he actually said that)

He has genuine pace - as opposed to Fernando Torres who only has the illusion of pace.

Top, Top, player - William Gallas, Louis Saha , Ryan Nelson

Great/Bad time to score/concede - scoring letting in a goal just before half time

Mind games - managers 'merking' each other.

He's in no man's land - Gomes

He's gone to sleep - defender daydreaming about his paycheck and hot girlfriend whilst conceding a goal.
 
"Hoofed away from danger" - Bottom half team plays long pass
"Beautiful long ball" - Top half team plays long pass

"He was miles offside" - Offside
"He was just offside" - Offside
"That looked close" - Offside
"Clearly Onside there" - Level
"The linesman has made a horrendous error there!!!!" - 1 inch onside given as offside

"We're going to have a bounce-ball here" - A non-contested drop-ball will now take place

"He's missed that penalty, awful" - Goalkeeper makes save
"He's sent the keeper the wrong way beautifully there" - Shit pen, goalie dived other way
