Every fan has heard them a thousand times, delivered breathlessly into a Sky Sports microphone. Rank these hollow phrases from mildly annoying to full remote-through-the-telly territory.
Put the items in your preferred order.
"The lads gave 110% out there"
A staple from managers and players alike, defying basic arithmetic every weekend. Somehow still trotted out as if it means something profound.
"We take each game as it comes"
Deployed whenever a pundit asks about title races or relegation battles. A verbal shrug dressed up as wisdom.
"At the end of the day, it's a game of two halves"
Beloved of former pros turned punditry regulars. Technically accurate, spectacularly useless.
"The fans were the twelfth man today"
Wheeled out after every home win, especially in cup ties. Nice sentiment, but we've heard it since 1974.
"We'll go again on Tuesday"
The go-to after a chastening loss, muttered while staring at the turf. Implies resilience, delivers resignation.
