When we talk about players giving 100%...100% is maximum agreed?...so why do people say 110%, that's just plain daft!

They dropped the speed limit to 20mph because people cannot be trusted to not go over 30mph.....

not really. 100% is the normal maximum, 110% is going beyond normal operational effectivness, with the cost of increased deterioration, damage etc occuring. or in sport going above the expected level of effort. its not daft, just a bit of hyperbole.

It is an expression, not a truth. Like saying I would go to the ends of the earth, or give my right arm.
Aside from that, if a striker scores 20 goals one season and 22 the next, he has given 110% of the goal contribution he made the first season.
