Charlton Athletic's manager 'Golden' Gordon Addick told Not5live reporter Big Al Green: " Actually, I haven't got a clue, chap. They asked me to pick a football team, so I remembered my Grandad used to bang on about going to the Valley in the 1930's, with the fog rolling in off the Thames,and the big terrace which held ninety five thousand people, and I thought 'Oo that sounds exciting.' I went there once. Terrible place. I intend to be a hands off sort of manager. Can we play 'rush goalie'?"
"The Brums are going up, the Brums are going up, na na nah na na na nah na nah" Birmingham City's new manager shows he has the experience and maturity to lead his team back into football's top-flight.
The recent troubles here at Southampton are well documented, hopefully the club is now back on the up, and someone can step up and emulate the likes of Le Tissier or Shearer
As virtual manager of Oxford I must admit it came as a bit of a surprise to discover that my teenage son is a virtual manager in the same league. Obviously with family rivalry it is essential that I finish higher than him. My first inclination was to try and persuade(poach) John Eustace to come to Oxford but even in a fun league my INTEGRITY would not allow this (plus I would not want to upset Hornette) I think my first task is to go and find out the names of my squad and if they can play football.
As Burton manager, I'll be looking to create memorable history, since we sort of lack it, and become the best team to play in yellow. Yes, I'm waging war on that Watford team, why would anyone support them...?
QPR manager: "Finally, the virtual football league has seen sense and has allowed female managers. I'll be telling the boys to make sure they pick the ball up and put it in the net... oh wait, scrap that... obviously they'll be using their feet. I do know what I'm talking about and I'll prove it when I beat all those men to promotion! I just need the boys to explain that weird rule again... something about being offside?"
Elton's Taylor : Spurs Manager "I have been on Sky Sports doing interviews today and have expressed my interest in obtaining some new Strikers, this is because I believe Mrs ET (Sandra) could have scored more goals than the whole of my strike force put together! . I would like to add that I will not be twitching and blinking on the sidelines this coming season either" Here is some of the previous manager at Spurs best Quotes, he is up there with Holloway, pure quality.... "Even when they had Moore, Hurst and Peters, West Ham's average finish was about 17th. It just shows how crap the other 8 of us were" "Dani is so good-looking I don't know whether to play him or f*ck him" "Hartson's got more previous than Jack the Ripper" "Samassi Abou don't speak the English too good" "By the look of him he [Ian Dowie] must have headed a lot of balls" “Everyone f***ing jumps all over you. They don't care Michael Carrick's just 19. When he gave the ball away the other week there was 20000 people c****ng him off. He give a bad ball and they are all f***ing "weeerrrr".” "Where are we in relation to Europe? Not far from Dover" Harry for England .....
Posted in the wrong thread earlier : Big Al Sammerdice, interviewed on Radio Billericay this morning, said: "Where better to go on the opening day of the Fun League season than Old Trafford? If you've got to go there it's as good a time as any. They won't be expecting us to hit the ground running and it could be them doing most of the hitting the ground..."
Guys, dont feel you have to do this, but if anyone from either league wishes to add their thoughts feel free. I am writing the previews for the first week currently, so you will have to be quick.
