It’s an American thing although I hear ‘mailing it in’ used more often
Re: West Ham phoning it in.
They will be phoning it in on talk sport.
What the frig does it mean.
I hate these American phrases
Re: West Ham phoning it in.
If only there was a way for people in other countries to see what America looks like and hear how Americans sound and the things they say. Maybe see and hear some American stories or something like that. That would be cool. ("Cool" is American slang for something good)

Re: West Ham phoning it in.
As long as rookie or soccer doesnt become words we use. Rookie being used in golf is bad enough. Feckin yanks!!!
Re: West Ham phoning it in.
Phoning in three points by the look of it.

Not joking, and I did have a little think about it.
It's some kind of euphemism that I've never heard of before. It would appear, from this thread, that I'm not the only one who hasn't heard of it before.

But West Ham are winning.
So this explanation makes no sense.
Re: West Ham phoning it in.
Guess we won't have Everton away next season then
Re: West Ham phoning it in.
Re: West Ham phoning it in.

It means phoning is great - or sick as they say.
Re: West Ham phoning it in.
It’s looking like the most interesting thing about the final day of the Premier League season next weekend will be to see how Sky markets it - the battle for eighth position is going to be fascinating.
Re: West Ham phoning it in.
I didn't know what it meant either.
A while back I also didn't know what pegging meant, so I googled that. Google then thought I was interested in stuff not related to hanging out the washing.
Re: West Ham phoning it in.
3-1 to the Hammers!
West Ham apparently doing a good job of "phoning it in".
I just hope the City remember to pay the phone bill and do likewise all next season.

Taking patronising to a new level, fair play.
