    Don't know if this has been done before, but as it is summer, and things are a bit thin on the ground footballing wise, I'll post this for a bit of fun and see how far it gets.

    When the Duke of Wellington returned home after winning at Waterloo his wife wrote in her diary the following:

    " Today my lord returned from the wars and pleasured me with his boots on."

    As Oscar Wilde once said: "Quotation is a serviceable substitute for wit."

    But I prefer another of his: "Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much."

    The Narrator used this quote to describe Ron Burgundy.

    “He had a voice that could make a wolverine purr and suits so fine they made Sinatra look like a hobo.”

    From our very own Lawrie Mac
    "Some of these players never dreamed they would be playing in a Cup Final at Wembley, and now here they are fulfilling those dreams."

    Bill Shankly: "Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that."

    From Ralph Krueger on winning the Premier League in a few years:

    When you get up in the morning, you have to believe you can win every football match you play or why are you playing.? That's how we are here, so in the right set of circumstances, why not.?

    Apparently for England once, Sir Alf Ramsey, angry with Rodney Marsh's apparent lack of effort, barked, "If you don't start working harder, I'll pull you off at half time", to which Marsh replied, "Bloody hell gov', at Man City all we get at half time is oranges"!

    Another Sir Alf Ramsey one was as the England players were leaving after a mid-week international to go back to their clubs, regular player Martin Peters shouted, Good bye lads. See you next time Alf, to which Ramsey replied You might.!

    That story was from Bally's autobiography.

    I believe that was John Churchill the Duke of Marlborough, one of Winston's well-to-do relatives rather than the rather than the Duke of Wellington.

    A woman I used to work with once announced (you'll have to imagine the Bristol accent) that the night before, her son and his mates had gone to a laptop dancing club.

    For most women the reality is: " Today my lord returned from work and pleasured me with his socks on''. :(
