Sorry if this has been done before. Here are a couple from Big Ron Atkinson whilst boss of Villa "It was a game of two Halves and we were crap in both of them" "We are no longer allowed to comment on referees so i'm not going to start on that prat"
"Some people believe football is a matter of life and death. I'm very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that."
A couple from Matty's book If the young players were getting a rough time on the pitch by a player we would tell Jimmy Case and he would get them for us. One day i was brought down by Stuart Pearse i said to Jimmy did you see that? Jimmy replied Not today son. Tim Flower let in Two Goals one game and got injured for the second goal. Whilst Tim was on the treatment table Chris Nicholl was having a right go at him.The Physio said we will have to take him to hospital for a scan on his leg. Nicholl said if your legs broken sorry if it's not W****r.
Someone was going to do it - let's get our old living breathing quote machine in here. [video=youtube;rfEV0iO0iCw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfEV0iO0iCw[/video]
I remember reading an article that described Emile Heskey as "an excitable puppy on linoleum". Enough said....
'I have a number of alternatives, and each one gives me something different.' - Glenn Hoddle 'Sometimes in football you have to score goals.' - Thierry Henry 'I'd like to play for an Italian club, like Barcelona.' - Mark Draper
If i ever had a disageement with a player i would sit them down talk about it then we would decide i was right- Brian Clough They say Rome wasn't built in a day but i wasn't on that particular job- Brian Clough
It'll be a long time before anyone puts five past Manchester United again-Kevin Keegan Newcastle United Manager speaking after Newcastles five -nil win Next game Southampton six Man U three
Classics..! Two of the many I've read go... I'm not saying I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one He once admitted to punching footballer Roy Keane in the stomach, saying... He got up so I couldn't have hit him very hard.
Arry has come up with a few: "I played in the same team as Moore, Hurst and Peters. We finished 17th which shows how crap the other eight of us were" but my favourite "Selected the team last night in bed with the missus. When you're as ugly as me your missus only wants to talk football"
“When you are 4-0 up you should never lose 7-1″ - Lawrie McMenemy, Manager of Southampton.
Classic. Loved too after we had lost 4-0 at Leeds in our first season back up and Lawrie commented that "we were lucky to get the nil"
Interviewer: Are you a volatile player? David Beckham: Well, I can play in the centre, on the right and occasionally on the left side.
Not especially funny, but I saw an interview the other week on some Youtubey type website, with Our Nige. The interviewer suggested that, On paper the opposition look stronger. Quick as a flash, Nigel says, Yeah, but we don't play on paper, we play on grass. Which I thought was pretty quick and WGS in style. Good for Nigel.
This may or may not be true but it sounds so typical of WGS i have no reason to doubt it. Someone once told me that when WGS was in charge of Coventry that they played really bad one saturday the worst he had seen them play whilst he was manager. After the game he told the players that they had to be in for training in the morning at eight o clock sharpe and don't you dare be late. 09.30 and no sign of WGS so a player phoned him.WGS reply was you F***ing wasted my time yesterday so I'm wasting yours today. Is it true? Does it sound like WGS? You decide.
