Sayings you hate in sport.

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

In the newspapers, I think it's a stupid comment when the journalists refer to last season as "last term." And "The Theatre of Dreams," I can't stand that one, used by commentators and writers. It's called Old Trafford until the club decides to rename it. And in the World Athletics Championships, everything is "apsolutely brilliant, "apsolutely superb," and similar. Paul Dickenson and Steve Cram are the worst. Shut the crap, lads, just tell us you thought it was a fucking great performance.

When the ball gets crossed over into a crowded 18-yard box: "it's in the mix."

What I hate in athletics commentaries is when they think they have to say "and a great finish in 7th for the British atlethe". Poor old Micheal Johnson squirms when we are thrilled with mediocre results. Third is not the best he could have hoped for, first is. "A bronze medal is like a dream come true". Dream for gold you loser

Anything churned out by those wankers that sit smugly on MOTD i.e. Hansen, Lawrenson, Shearer. Getting paid a fucking fortune to come up with

"TWO BANKS OF FOUR"

"GETTING IN THEIR FACES"

"SETTING THEIR STOOL OUT, EARLY DOORS"

And that's what they call 'expert opinion'. All wankers
