At the end of the day
A commonly-used phrase by footballers in interviews and which means when all is said and done; all things considered or after thinking something through. When you talk about a problem or discuss a question, you look at both sides and you listen to many arguments. When youa€™ve finished your arguments and opinions, you use this phrase, ‘at the end of the day‘ and then say what you finally think. This usually means that your original opinion hasna€™t changed.
Example: At the end of the day teams with the most money tend to be the most successful.
