Tell the story of the football season in cliches....
Listening to us this morning and having read most of the papers, there's one cliché that's emerging about Barcelona v Manchester United last night: "it's one of the most one-sided Champions League finals there's ever been."
Or how about "Barcelona gave Manchester United a footballing lesson"?
So let's try and describe the football season in clichés. Obviously we've got a couple of Cup finals this weekend, but it's practically over isn't it?
I'm grateful to the excellent Word Magazine blog which I was reading earlier this month. Over to you.

Hi...not really a phone-in, more a text in. You might be more interested in the interview I've just recorded with the Tory MP Julie Kirkbride.
Thanks

why dont you replace Saggers in the 7pm slot then you can do football every night
after all you are interested in little else
apart from the apprentice of course
maybe the apprentice rejects can form their own football team
what a great idea

Hi Victoria,
forget about footballing cliche's, I really miss the Olympics phrase "what's he/she got left in the tank?". Can you please try to use this in more broadcasts.
Thanks

A cliche of this and many other years: "Spurs achieve mid-table mediocrity". Only difference this season is that it didn't look like we would even do this! We peaked in 1961, when I was only 3 ... hey-ho.

I don... Read Moret see the point of this item; at the end of the day just accept its a funny old game of two halves and that most of us are sick as parrots that the football season is over for few months.
Ill be over the moon when the 09-10 season kicks off and all will be there to play for again. Well be able to talk about the sleeping giant of Newcastle floundering in the Championship and Chelsea not being as strong as they are on paper.and of course next year we have the World Cup Finals where there wont be such a thing as an easy game for England.
Just had a thoughtare you just fishing for clichés to pass on to Alan Green et al for Saturdays cup final? :-)

I disagree with Matt's (?) comment. You can't say they would have won if Fletcher had played. Barca were without several defenders and won.
Man U lost in the 10th minute. Their "plan" hadn't included the possibility of Barca scoring first and they collapsed. Pathethic.
