"got the chocolates"

As overused by Fail Thomas

 

[Rosstickle]

Obviously obviously should be on this list.

It's obviously used alot by players who obviously feel the need to use it at the start of every sentence.

Brock McLean obviously uses it every sentence he speaks and Fev obviously used the word obviously twice in the same sentence.

According to Brock Carlton OBVIOUSLY have the best midfield in the league.

It's obviously very annoying to hear the word obviously in every single sentence especially about things that aren't that obvious.

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

It's not a saying, but the word mercurial is used incorrectly by every commentator on every sport in the world...

...well, at least footy and cricket.

Think it's a horse racing saying originally actually, but not sure about that, and not sure of how it came about.

So, all in all, I'm a big help.

gut running,,, I mean wtf? what does gut and running have to do with one another?

 

[raskolnikov]

yeah, nah

 

[PowerForGood]

I always hate how every shot on goal "bending back... but not enough and it goes through for a point".... Listen to how many times it's said in a game, it's like a stuck record.

Also the term "they've come to play today"...

 

[Scuderia]

"A bit of claret streaming from the eye there, Gary".

I really hate the 'chocolates' one.

Sandy Roberts once described an 'hanger' of a mark as an 'aerial biscuit'

Gut running is when you feel like your gonna be sick/pain in gut but you keep running anyway. *I thinks*

"Leads from the front..."

Thankyou captain obvious....

 

[braggingrights]

"Outriders"; "Turns on a threepenny bit"; 'remonstrating with the umpire'

 

[stellation]

I know it's not a uniquely footy saying, but as a junior my district rep team had the same chubby middle aged coach for a couple of years straight who used to get very excited when trying to fire us up and would squeal in his piggish voice "STRAIGHT UP THE GUTS!".

I seem to recall that was the only bit of strategic advice he ever gave, we came to the conclusion that if you weren't named in the spine then he clearly thought you were crap and wanted you out of the way.

Could this relate to the biscuits made by Swallow & Ariel Ltd in their factory at Port Melbourne (co was bought out by Arnott's).

"Leads from the front..."

lol

How about

"They're coming......oh they're coming....THE SAINTS ARE COMING"

Sounds like a bad porno, always get embarresed when I hear a commentator say that....esp Bruce.

"Delicious"

"What a turn on!"
