The world of football is awash with phrases and cliches.

"AT THE END OF THE DAY"
David Beckham and Glenn Hoddle usually utter this classic at least three times during every after match interview.

"IT WAS A GAME OF TWO HALVES"
Such a cliche that no one says it anymore, unless they are being ironic.

"SHOCKWAVES THROUGH EUROPE"
Usually stated whenever an English team stuffs a well known side from Italy or Spain.

"HE DIDN'T QUITE GET ENOUGH PURCHASE ON THE BALL"
A rare and strange comment, I think first uttered by commentator Barry Davies.

Any more?

"5 European Cups!!!"

The funniest one I've ever heard was only said once, but it was pretty recent. I'm talking about Sam Hamman(I think that's how you spell his name) when they Beat Leeds 2-1 in the FA cup. "WE'D LIKE TO PLAY LEEDS EVERY WEEK, AND BEAT THEM TWICE A YEAR".

What a classic

"DON'T COUNT YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY'VE HATCHED, OR THEY MIGHT NOT LAY EGGS" - Bobby Robson

Some more regularly used ones are:

'THE BOYS DONE GOOD TODAY'
regularly used by Beckham which shows us his illiteracy concerning the English language!

'IM PROUD OF MY PLAYERS, THEY PUT UP A GOOD FIGHT TODAY'
used by managers after their team has had it's butts whipped by the opposition!

If you want to hear some really funny ones, listen to an interview with Claudio Ranieri (Chelsea boss) after a match!

"I'll love it if we beat them, just love it"

And I would love it if Bobby Robson said that this season ;)

What about that thing Kevin Keegan said about Alex ferguson and United a few years back??
Something like....going down in his estimation, and when you say that about this, that, and everything.
I can't remember it exactly, but it was funny!

Some of the immitations were also funny, especially the ones on Soccer AM!
