Every now and again you come across a manager in a hasty post match interview say something that makes little sense. This thread is to record such pearls of wisdom. Please add to it as you hear them. Neil Warnock: "We didn't deserve to lose, the only thing that we lacked was a couple of goals."
Alan Wright (Southport manager) - 'I think that Southampton will finish above teams that are well below them'.
Was it Bryan Robson whilst West Brom manager who said "If we played like this every week, we wouldn’t be so inconsistent".
Bobby Robson was famous for them. Among his best: There will be a game where somebody scores more than Brazil and that might be the game they lose. Steve Hodge has been unfit for two weeks, well, no, for 14 days. He’s got his legs back, of course, or his leg – he’s always had one but now he’s got two. He never fails to hit the target – but that was a miss.
"It would be foolish to believe that automatic promotion is automatic in any way whatsoever." - That oh, so wondrous, 'manager', Dave Bassett.
I remember Big Sam being derided in the press for saying this, and wondering why - I tend to agree with the sentiment... "All this tippy-tappy stuff everybody keeps going on about as the right way to play football is all a load of bollocks."
Big Sam at Palarse! "Being in the bottom three is irrelevant. What matters most is how many games you've played and how many points you've got."
It didn't happen, but last night's goalscorer for Leicester was Ndidi (autocorrect is offering 'and idiot' for that, which is perhaps a little unfair). I was sort of hoping the commentator would say: "YES! Ndidi"
