Thought I'd start a thread so that we can post some of our managers more fun quotes. please log in to view this image Here's a start. After reacting angrily to a question about Studge. “I could have reacted completely different. I would have now. Maybe if someone had put his fat ass on the red button (to mute the microphone) then he could have stopped it!”
Not his funniest but for me this was a massively important thing for him to bring up: "After the goal on 82 minutes, with 12 minutes to go, I saw many people leaving the stadium. I felt pretty alone at this moment" This was him saying what many of us had grown tired of saying. It was him poking us and saying "Why do you come to watch? Why do you expect the team to play for 90mins if you can't be arsed to sit in your seat for the same?" It was him saying he knew something was wrong. He knew there was a malaise then not just from certain players but amongst the fans too. As much as a great crowd can help the team, a fed up and bored crowd can hinder it too. Do people still leave early? Yes but nowhere near as many and those who do now look like they are trying to sneak past the headmaster I mean imagine if you'd left the Dortmund game with 12 mins to go......
After Moreno's disallowed goal against the Toon... We made our goal but because we weren’t good enough today the linesman thought: ”Well, you don’t make world class goals if you play this ****"
"I told my players during the break: Since we're here anyway, we might actually play a bit of football."
On the crucial difference between himself and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. "He likes having the ball, playing football, passes. It's like an orchestra. But it's a silent song. I like heavy metal."
On how it felt to finally overturn the big boys following a 3-1 win over Bayern in February 2011. "When Dortmund last won here 19 years ago, most of my players were still being breast-fed."
On signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan. While you may be forgiven for thinking that Klopp was opting for lyrical abstraction in describing Dortmund's £24 million acquisition of Mkhitaryan, this is apparently a fairly common working-class German colloquialism -- the slightly less crude English equivalent being "fits like a glove." "Mkhitaryan fits us like an arse on a bucket. What he offers is exactly what we need."
On his 2012 hair transplant... "Yes, it's true. I underwent a hair transplant. I think the results are really cool, don't you?"
