<DIV><B>''A must-have'' - <I>The Telegraph</I></B><br><B>''Book of the Week'' - <I>The Independent</I></B><br><B>''Hilarious'' - <I>Sport Magazine</I></B></br></br> In what other context do football fans use the words ''aplomb'' or ''derisory''? Why don''t we use ''rifle'' as a verb on the other six days of the week? Why do aggrieved midfielders feel the instinctive need to make a giant ball-shaped gesture with both hands after a mistimed tackle is punished? </br></br> The more football Adam Hurrey watched, the more he began to spot the recurring mannerisms, behaviours, opinions and iconography that were mindlessly repeated in the football media.</br></br> Some cliches are ridiculous, some are quaintly outdated, some have survived through their sheer indisputability. Here, featuring gloriously pseudo-scientific diagrams and the inimitable writing style that made footballcliches.com a smash hit, they are covered in all their glory.</DIV>
