“The United way”.
“United DNA”.
“It’s a 6 pointer”.
“He’s a great shot stopper”
This. You get 3 points for winning no matter who you're playing against. I understand that in theory it's 3 points gained and 3 points lost for the opposition, but no it's still only 3 points.
A few others:
"He's almost hit that too well."
"They're a nearly team."
"He's unlucky to be called offside."
Not a phrase, but the way commentators almost always agree with their co-commentators, even if you can tell they don't really agree. It'd be great to hear an actual discussion of two different views when watching rather than one single narrative.
And the way co-commentators make their mind up about a decision before even looking at a replay and sticking to that view, even when it's obvious they got it wrong (Jim Beglin, I'm looking at you).
