    No it's not. You get 3 points if you win. Maths fail! ;)

    That's just the punditry version of how everybody nowadays starts every sentence with 'so'.

    "So, I was going to the shop..."

    SHUT UP!!

    More gems of wisdom from Ron Manager.

    Ron Manager: Is George Best the old Ryan Giggs? But Giggsy-wiggsy. Precocious talent, isn't he? Mmm? Ooh, got it all, you know? Speed, acceleration, sweet left foot, all the tricks - the dummy, the drop of the shoulder, the shimmy, nutmeg, jiggery-pokery, hocus pocus, abracadabra, I wanna reach out and grab ya. Steve Miller Band? Spin Doctors? Ooh, very similar

    Ron Manager: Diamond formation? Does anyone really know what that is? I mean, at least you knew where you were with Alf Ramsey's wingless wonders. You know? 4-4-2, 4-2-4, 4-3-3... 0898 654000, freephone double glazing?

    And my personal favourite.

    Ron Manager: Oh, those Brazilians, you know? Circa 1970? Broke the mould. Theory out the window. Free expression of football. Uncategorisable. Is that a word? It is now! You know? Far cry from small boys in the park, jumpers for goalposts. Rush goalie. Two at the back, three in the middle, four up front, one's gone home for his tea. Beans on toast? Possibly, don't quote me on that. Marvellous.

    Some classic ones from the BBC:

    “Michael Owen isn’t the tallest of lads but his height more than makes up for that.”

    “Walcott’s cross was perfect. 8 out of 10.”

    “The lad’s not just got pace, he’s quick too.”

    “Both goals he scored hit the target.”

    “Having watched a replay, there’s absolutely no doubt; it’s inconclusive.”

    I like that too, but unfortunately it doesn't qualify as an 'annoying punditism'.

    Now - back on topic.
    Your own two above aren't punditisms either. They are in common usage on TV and in real life from the general public.
