   Football 2012/2013 - A Season In Cliché

   by FootballCliches

   Another season done. Another season dusted. Today on the blog Football Cliches steps back through the last 9 months of controversy and outrage, sharing his 2012/2013 football season review in cliché. When putting together a review of a football season, it's tempting to take the format of a school report, and carpet-bomb half the Premier League teams with the vague summary of "must do better". Or, perhaps a list of increasingly obscure awards. Instead, let's dredge up the controversies a...

   The Business End

   by FootballCliches

   Relegation. Promotion. The Playoffs. European Qualification. Yes, it's that time of the season again. Today on the blog Adam Hurrey aka Football Cliches takes us through the cliché minefield that is the business end of the season. A consensus doesn't seem to have been reached on when the The Business End of the season begins. It is around mid-March, perhaps, when the early pacesetters and surprise packages have finally fallen away, that thoughts begin to turn to the campaign's climax. ...

Within days of being sacked, managers develop a strange skin condition that leaves them "itching to get back into the game". They start throwing hats into rings.

Today on the blog Football Cliches delivers the definitive guide of how to climb your way to the top in no time at all. In the modern age of record TV money, transfer war chests and having six games to save their job, managers (and their chairmen) are still throwing hopeful cash down the wishing well of mediocrity.

   Everything We Already Knew About Referees (But Refused To Admit)

   by FootballCliches

   Today on the blog Football Cliches offers his unique perspective on the place of referees in our collective football psychology. It's reared its ugly head again, everyone. The largely football-less skirmish between Arsenal and Manchester City resulted in the usual Sunday afternoon talking point of referees. The game (or, to be accurate here, the "spectacle") was effectively ended by Laurent Koscielny's early red card, after which it congealed into one big, 80-minute ironic cheer. It's absolu...
