Can the brainpower of NSC come up with a good list of footballing clichés?

I'll start off with 'footballing brain' and 'good feet for a big man'.

Pundit: "So, you took on the entire team twice then smashed in a bicycle kick from 50 yards before adding 5 more to your tally..."

Player: "Yeah I was pleased with the goals, but it was all about the team performance today. Just pleased to get the 3 points and push on to the next game"

We had a game plan.

We set our stall out.

The pitch is a leveller.

The f.a cup . The greatest cup completion in the world.

Potential banana skin.

It's never over until the fat lady blows her whistle, ref sings, pope shits in the woods, bear's catholic.

They are quite thick most footballers aren't they?

"early contender for goal of the season"
"Focus on the league"
"It's too soon for us to go up"
"sent the keeper the wrong way" - No, the keeper guessed that was and was wrong
"He's not that kind of player"
Not celebrating against a former team.

"statement of intent" when related to a 'big' signing or such.... bit of a NSC favourite that one.
