Not quite cliches but Michael Owen has had some brilliant quotes over the years.

1. “If there’s a bit of rain about, it makes the surface wet.”

2. “What a feeling it is to be a manager and bring someone on.”

3. “Footballers these days often have to use their feet.”

4. “I love these players with two feet.”

5. “Blackburn have got two strikers on and they’re both playing up front.”

6. “Whichever team scores more goals usually wins.”

7. “When they don’t score they hardly ever win.”

8. “It’s a good run, but it’s a poor run, if you know what I mean?”

9. When asked what was the last film he saw by The Guardian: “It’s very boring, but I don’t watch films. I think I’ve seen about five in my life.

10. To stay in the game, you have to stay in the game

The definition of 'wooden'.

[DomdomPie]

Every player and manager describing the team as "a great bunch of lads". I'm sure sometimes they have to say that through gritted teeth...

Also players and managers pretending that they don't look at the league table.

[Stall is God]

These days a lot of players and managers pre-empt the cliche by saying “I know it’s a cliche but…we’re taking it one game at a time..etc etc

Apart from on comentry where else do you hear the word "aplomb" being used. HMHB.
Players that" put in a shift," and get hooked after 70 minutes, hospital workers put a shift in - footballers play a game.
