Some for stating the obvious, some for an interesting spin on things, and some just for the sheer hilarity...
"Do you think my players surround the referee? I have a naive team. We do not have any divers.”Don’t laugh, but that was said by Jose Mourinho.
"If that's the case then I'm Little Red Riding Hood!”Liverpool manager Rafe Benitez, in response to the comment above.
"The manager had a lot to say, - I'll leave it at that.”Nyron Nosworthy on manager Roy Keane after the 3-0 defeat at Wigan.
"People talked us up before the start of the season and that's why it took only four days to bring us down again.”Under pressure Tottenham manager Martin Jol.
“If you don't keep clean sheets, then you struggle to win football games.”Sammy Lee, manager of Bottom of the table Bolton.
My favourite one was from Alan Hansen on Match of the Day.
ReplyDeleteImpressed by the performance of Micah Richards' defensive performance against Man United, Hansen said "If I come back [in another life], I'm coming back either as Tiger Woods or Micah Richards."
I think God gave him the chance to be a decent defender once already - I doubt, somehow, he'll give him a second chance...
But...but...surely it's too late for him to come back as either of those people.
ReplyDeleteHansen just hasn't thought this through. Terrible, terrible application of logic there from the big man in the number six shirt (said in a scottish accent while shaking head).
