'All my eye and Betty Martin' comes from one of the Anglo-Spanish wars and is the English soldier's version of the Spanish war cry : 'Mihi Beathe Martine' (may not have got the spelling right . . . .), which didn't help them as they were defeated.

Hence it means something absolutely useless - usually prefaced by 'that's'.
