Ok here are some quotes I found in an old football book:
"The match will be shown on Match of the Day this evening. If you don't want to know the result, look away now as we show you Tony Adams lifting the trophy for Arsenal" Steve Rider commentator on the BBC.
"I'm a firm believer that if the other side scores first you have to score twice to win"
Howard Wilkinson, Technical Director at the F.A., proving that he knows what the game is all about.
"They (Rosenborg) have won 66 games, and they've scored in all of them"
Brian Moore, commentator.
"When a game goes like this, there's only one team going to win it now, and that's England"
Kevin Keegan, after England had equalised in the 83rd minute. Final score Romania 2 England 1.
Reporter: Why did you lose ?
Kenny Dalglish: Because they scored more goals than we did!
"If England are to win this game, they are going to have to score a goal"
Jimmy Hill - BBC.
"I've told the players we need to win, so that I can raise the cash to buy some new ones"
Chris Turner, Peterborough Manager,before the League Cup Quarter Finals in 1992.
"He had no chance of beating Schmeichel from there... but it was always worth a try"

Gerard Houllier's performance on The Premiership was hilarious at the weekend.
He took great offence to the reporter suggesting he'd made a mistake getting rid of Anelka (after Nicolas scored both goals in a 2-1 win for Man City).
Cost to buy Nicolas Anelka last year...£13 million
Cost of missing out on Champions League football this year...£15 million
Gerard Houllier's face if they don't win at Stamford Bridge...PRICELESS! :D

paraphrase of Houllier: We are just a few players away from winning the premiership.
Try 44, Man U, Arse, Newcastle and Chelsea 1st XIs!
"one of the two teams will win this match or it might be a draw" - John Motson
"I'm not going to make it a target, but it's something to aim for" - Steve Coppell
"Tottenham are trying to become the first London team to win this cup. The last team to do so was the 1973 Spurs team" - BBC Radio Five Live's Mike Ingham
Bobby Robson once said "We've scored nine and you can't score more than that" and "We didn't underestimate them- they were just better than we thought." They were something like that.

I think Mark Viduka said that one about losing every game yet winning the league. :)
Did Chris Marsden say he'd like to play for an Italian club like Barcelona...
Yossi is right how can you win the league if you lose every match & when has Barcelona been an English Club

George Best I think said:
" I spent 90% of my money on women and drink. The rest I wasted."
So you think spending money on drink and women is a waste?

We're talking about George Best here...
And those two things are his favourite hobbies, so why is it a waste?
Sorry Soliloquay i didn't read the thread name, heres a quote for all you to enjoy
"Where are you?
We need a twelve man out here
Where are you
Let's be avenue!" - Delia Smith (Drunken Lady)

If you know who George Best is, you'll know that the latter has caused him a lot of trouble, and that's why it's such a funny and ironic quote.
Of course I know about the liver problems, but it's still a hobby for him.

"I think this match is going to be one of those match where the team that score more goals is going to win" -- Kevin Keegan
"People keep searching for the next Pelé, they can't do it, there isn't another Beethoven. The music only has one Frank Sinatra and Football only has one Pelé" -- Edson Arantes Do Nascimiento ("mr. Modesty" Pelé)
OK, then Soliloquay, it's both.
Thought I'd revive this thread with a couple from the golden era....
"Look at that little fat chap - we'll murder this lot."
An unnamed England player on Ferenc Puskás, shortly before they were humiliated 6-3. :D
"He wasn't that big, but he had a big arse. That's where a lot of his strength came from."
Brian Clough on how Kenny Dalglish was strong as a striker, despite being small.
And my favourite...
"Tell the Kraut to get his ass upfront - we don't pay a million for a guy to hang around in defence!"
The club executive's comments on Franz Beckenbauer's debut match for the New York Cosmos.
