On a lighter note........

I was listening to the radio lastnight when i heard a commentator say ''He would have to be like Lindford Christie with Ben Johnsons chemist to get that ball'' Class! Surely they think of these quotes before hand? Anybody else know of any good ones?

One of my favourite''s is the Murray Walker classic "The car in front is unique - apart from the one behind which is identical".....

Or - "Were the presents those 3 wise men brought Jesus for Christmas or his birthday?"

Not sport related but made me chuckle. When we were driving to the game Tuesday night we had Radio Norfolk on for the game. Before the programme started at seven they had the travel news. The announcer said there would be delays on the Norwich to Liverpool Street line because of ''seasonal track adhesion problems''.

That would be leaves then.......................

I can''t remember the quote exactly but there was one i think Kevin Keegan said which went "There were just two reasons we lost tonight - lack of effort, lack of confidence and a lack of control" (thats 3 reasons, Kev)

There was another I remember where the comentator to a football match said "And the final score is Liverpool 3 Newcastle 1 Bolton Wonderers 0" (how 3 teams can play in one match is beyond me)

One I remember hearing about from the dim and distant past was during a snooker final, the commentator said

"For those watching in black and white, the blue is the ball behind the pink!!"

(Anyone remember black and white tellies!!?)

Not quotes as such but still good all the same. Some Gordon Strachan interviews....

 

Reporter: Welcome to Southampton Football Club. Do you think you are the right man to turn things around?
Strachan: No. I was asked if I thought I was the right man for the job and I said, "No, I think they should have got George Graham because I''m useless."

Reporter: Is that your best start to a season?
Strachan: Well I''ve still got a job so it''s far better than the Coventry one, that''s for sure.

Reporter: Are you getting where you want to be with this team?
Strachan: We''re not doing bad. What do you expect us to be like? We were eighth in the league last year, in the cup final and we got into Europe. I don''t know where you expect me to get to. Do you expect us to win the Champions League?

Reporter: Gordon, you must be delighted with that result?
Strachan: You''re spot on! You can read me like a book.

Strachan: I''ve got more important things to think about. I''ve got a yogurt to finish by today, the expiry date is today. That can be my priority rather than Agustin Delgado.

Reporter: This might sound like a daft question, but you''ll be happy to get your first win under your belt, won''t you?
Strachan: You''re right. It is a daft question. I''m not even going to bother answering that one. It is a daft question, you''re spot on there.

Reporter: Bang, there goes your unbeaten run. Can you take it?
Strachan: No, I''m just going to crumble like a wreck. I''ll go home, become an alcoholic and maybe jump of a bridge. Umm, I think I can take it, yeah.

Reporter: There''s no negative vibes or negative feelings here?
Strachan: Apart from yourself, we''re all quite positive round here. I''m going to whack you over the head with a big stick, down negative man, down.

Reporter: Where will Marion Pahars fit into the team line-up?
Strachan: Not telling you! It''s a secret.

Reporter: You don''t take losing lightly, do you Gordon?
Strachan: I don''t take stupid comments lightly either.

Reporter: So, Gordon, in what areas do you think Middlesbrough were better than you today?
Strachan: What areas? Mainly that big green one out there...
