Hate it when they refer to the pitch as " The park", as in He's only been on the park for 5 minutes...It's not a park, there are no swings, roundabouts, slides etc etc .

Team name "swoop" to get player name in transfer market. Of course, couldn't apply to Stoke. For us it would be Stoke flutter with broken wing to get player name ..... and then only if we were very lucky. .

The wet/cold, Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday night in Stoke * is old and loathsome and shows no signs of abating. Particularly on Twitter.

More of a general observation towards journalism as a whole, but when papers or websites use "admit" in completely inappropriate ways.
The word implies either shame or guilt, or a previous sense of denial.
When they say "Player X admits he was delighted to score", "Player Y admits he is pleased to sign a new contract" or "Player Z admits that the home fans provided a boost" IT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE.
The Sentinel are particularly shit for it, earlier today they came out with something like "Muniesa admits he didn't expect to hear [that song]", so what, he was in denial and was previously telling everyone he was expecting it? Or was he really embarrassed with himself for not predicting it?
Fuck off.

Hate - "taking us/them/it to the next level" - don't know why, just seems like most can't define the next level so what are they talking about?
Love - new webspeak like, "The fuck..?" (where emoticons are just not enough)

My girlfriend asked me for something to say during the big match build-up for Man U v Barcelona in the Cup Winners Cup Final. Something to say to the assembled in her shared flat.
So she piped up, "Sparky's always the man for the big occasion," to surprise and mirth.
Sparky, of course, scored a brace.
Ahem?

"Pizza" jokes on here are incredibly irritating, as is the inevitable "Pay him a basic salary and as many oatcakes as he can eat" when discussing new contracts.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA REALLY FUNNY NEVER HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE LOOK HOW CLEVER AND ORIGINAL YOU ARE

The expression "...your Man Utds, your Arsenals, your Liverpools..." There is only one of each of these clubs, no need for the plural.
"(Insert team name) is a really tough place to go"
"International/world Class" People refer to lots of players as not being World Class, or International Standard. Ryan has been tarred with this many times. But to pick a few names at random, is Ron Vlar International Class? Is Steven Caulker? Shaun Wright-Phillips? Fred? Circumstances and competition dictate whether a player is good enough for their international side, not some obscure and invisible standard!
"He's hit that too well" WTF?!

Same as the indefinite article "If a Man United or a Chelsea come in for him...". No need for the "a" mate. The "world class" thing is very annoying. I always interpreted it to mean international class like you, but the way a lot of people use it, it makes me wonder if it means the standard for a World XI, or if that's the misinterpretation of others. I also hate the fashion for using the present tense for an incident that's already happened. Tony was really bad for it in interviews and some people use it here too. "That penalty incident was appalling, he gets touched and goes down". No, he was touched and went down. |

'Up top'. it's not 'up top' it's up front! I love the thought that a player, having eaten a cheese and bacon oatcake, would turn down the opportunity to sign for your Man United's, Arsenal's, Chelsea's of this world, due to their love for Staffordshires finest local delicacy*. *Alternatively a Meat n tater Wrights pie with butter on.  |

when we play a top team. stoke "punt it up the field" and play "ambitious long balls" but the other team doing the same thing is a "lovely weighted pass" or a skilful "forty yard pass".

Yeah even happened in the Liverpool thraping last season. 'Beautiful pin point pass over the top by Gerrard there.' 'Shawcross with a hopeful punt to Arnautovic' Both travelled a long distance and we're straight to feet! |
