Nope! Blunt instrument PNP blunt instrument, the right tactics should always be used but we don't need to talk about it first. Tactics are like statistics they both have tics and tics are a very annoying itching nusance that are best swatted on their first appearance. please log in to view this image
What would he have done if they'd won?! Favourite piece of non-English football commentary: [video=youtube;vQH0ebBiUvM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQH0ebBiUvM[/video] "Gol de Tottenham, gol de Tottenham, gol de Tottenham, gol de Tottenham..." "Gol! Gol! Gol! Gol! Gol! Gol! Gol!"
Sorry for being off-topic, but I was remembering this (non-football) quote last night for some reason. Tex Cobb, on his adjustment in tactics after Larry Holmes knocked him down. "I went right back to my original game plan of stumbling forward and getting hit in the face."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqZTP8-8wIs This was the Norwegian Commentator after Norway (then a nothing team) beat England in 1980/81...I remember it from back then...I was 13 yrs old ... and it is still the best bit of commentary ever.
Amazing how he managed to describe that without mentioning Lennon or Crouch (that I could make out anyway)
“Don’t worry Alan. At least you’ll be able to play close to a great team!” Bill Shankly to Alan Ball after he signed for Everton
"Great tackle" - Peter Brackley, after security bundled a pitch invader to the ground on Football Italia. "Milan went from the stuff of legends to a legendary stuffing" - James Richardson, after Juve thrashed Milan 4-0.
Alf ramsey to Rodney Marsh "If things are not going well at half time I will pull you off" RM "Thats nice boss, at QPR we only get oranges"
Best commentary ever..... [video=youtube;eVRCT67zI_k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVRCT67zI_k[/video]
I keep having to apologise to people, as it was our fault that Crudeli is on those bloody awful Ladbrokes adverts. "I can buy all of you, I can buy the whole association, I can buy Smarna Gora. I can't stay in a team like this where you will substitute me in a game like this in the World Cup." - Zlatko Zahovic, not responding well to being substituted in the 2002 World Cup.
Alan Shearer - I absolutely love Newcastle. I want to remain here for the rest of my life and even after that.
My all time favourite (not football), features the 1st real celebrity chefs, Fanny Craddock and her husband Johnny. Fanny had been on BBC showing viewers how to make scones. At the end of the programme, Johnny said "good luck with making those and I hope all your scones look like Fanny's"
