All players do it.

In terms of shouting, Lloris is very loud.
There was no way Caulker could ever get away with saying he hadn't heard his call when he (repeatedly) chose to ignore it

Pretty sure it's Lloris.
I also heard bien joué from Lloris a few times last game and I figured it was because Kaboom was back in the 11.
Our spine at the moment (surely one of the best in the league) is looking rather French: Lloris - Kaboom - Bentaleb - Ade (French Speaking)

This. Does my f*cking head in when playing particularly when people shout it a millisecond before you actually head the ball. What do they think you are planning to do with it?

Well, why would a coach say anything at half time? You know what you should do to win a match (score more goals that your opponent). Words influence people, if you shout something like that just before a cross comes in chances are that there will be a tiny bit of concentration or will aimed towards getting that ball out that wouldn't be there if the words weren't shouted.

There's a big difference between what a team needs to do to win a game and what a professional needs to do in order to be thought of as a remotely competent player. There shouldn't be a single player in the premiership who can't judge when a ball needs to be cleared and when not.
Except when the player shouting has a better idea of what's going on behind the player heading the ball.

Makes sense to me as a part of an overall approach where we try to go through the same routine every time for corners (and some other set pieces) to help our concentration levels.

Obviously in a situation where a player has a ball at his feet and someone is creeping up behind them then the player needs a call like man on or away so they know that there's someone behind them, but in the situation the OP is talking about (corner or cross) no pro footballer (or decent amateur footballer) should have to be told 'away' in order to make the right decision. The speed that the ball travels at means that the time between the call being made and the player actually clearing the ball is so short that it can't actually influence their decision anyway.
In the premier league no defender is clearing the ball from a corner or cross because they've been told 'away'. They are clearing the ball because it's the bread and butter of their position.
Quite often a player may need to leave a cross/corner as it would go out for a free kick. Clearing may be more dangerous than leaving - hence why a call has to be made every time. If someone (usually the keeper) calls every time, players build trust in their calls.

I like the idea of a trusting relationship being built up between the players. One way to look at it is that it is Hugo and he either shouts "away" or "Hugo's" when he is coming out to claim the ball. This makes the most sense because if he comes flying out for it only to be chipped straight after the clearing header he would look really bad.
