lol, was he being sarcastic or stupid!!
MatPhillips

no it was a genuine mistake, some one told him after the match and he thought. "well that made me sound stupid"
just a little bit
There's a similar one from a snooker match, for those watching in B&W the brown is beside the blue.
Reading yesterdays Daily Record was fun, in the buildup to the holland game
(Paraphrasing) This will be revenge for Euro 2000 when Holland had to lose to england 3-0 and Kluivert nutmegged Seaman to make it 3-1.
So that was revenge huh?

3-1, actually. :cool:
I can think of much better quotes from our past managers, such as "In my mind, we are not in a relegation battle, because I feel we are already safe" - Howard Wilkinson on Sunderland's league position (we were bottom at the time.)
"The job has been a hard one, but I've enjoyed it. Its been like rolling custard up a hill backwards with your finger." - Wilko on his time at Sunderland, 2 weeks before getting the sack.
"If I wanted to watch clowns I'd go to the circus" - Reid on growing rumours linking us to Georgi Kinkladze (when he was still good.)
"Its like talking Swahili" - after a 3-0 defeat to Arsenal (Reid's last game in charge.)

He was being informative. In case you wanted to know what colour they were playing in, and couldn't tell because of the B&W TV you were watching on. Duh. :rolleyes:

No because he said 'all of you watching in black and white' If they were watching in black and white they wouldn't know what colour norwich were, and why would he say what colour norwich were in if you had a normal colur tv? Why didn't he say the colour of the other team?

AUGUST 18
'Nobody will finish above us in the league. It wouldn't suprise me if we went unbeaten for the whole season. We only lost 3 games last time- and we will do even better this time.'
SEPTEMBER 14
'We have a deep desire which is increased by my own expectations and i'm quite confident.'
SEPTEMBER 20
'It's not impossible to go through the season unbeaten and i can't see why it's shocking to say that.'
SEPTEMBER 28
'Perfection?. It's difficult to say. A champion always tries to improve. We can do it (remain unbeaten), of course we can.'
NOVERMBER 12
'I would not say they (Manchester United) will necessarily be our main rivals for the title.'
MARCH 19
'If you ask if we're triumphalist, I'd say no. We're confident, not triumphalist. I believe my players are stronger than ever. They are being challenged and enjoy it. I think we respond best when we're pushed'
APRIL 15
'We have no fear (of losing the title) at all.'
MAY 2
'I have never won a championship on the last day of the season. Surely it must happen once in my career'.

My favourite of all time has to be QPR Manager Ian Holloways assesment of one of his sides victories, where he compared it to a night out. If anyone can find it, I'll be eternally grateful.

It's quite memorable, only two months old, I have it saved on my PC.
"To put it in gentleman's terms, if you've been out for a night and you're looking for a young lady and you pull one, you've done what you set out to do. We didn't look our best today but we've pulled.
Some weeks the lady is good looking and some weeks they're not. Our performance today would have been not the best looking bird but at least we got her in the taxi.
She may not have been the best looking lady we ended up taking home but it was still very pleasant and very nice, so thanks very much and let's have coffee" - QPR Manager, Ian Holloway.

Houillier "in five years we will be the premeiership champions" ha ha, (turns away and quitely sobs.... loads shotgun and goes out to Melwood quietly lurking in the bushes ready to get a clear view of Heskey.)

''If I had a shotgun I would shot him in his legs!''-Lex Schoenmaker coach ADO den Haag
quite heavy he!

Today at football365.com:
1. Rumour Of The Day
'Four illegal immigrants sneaked into Britain yesterday - in an ITV camera van on its way back from an Arsenal game' - The Sun, who brilliantly use a picture of Edu to illustrate.
2. Toilet Humour
From Eurosport's live text commentary of the Carling Cup final: 'Bolton-Middlesbrough 21': Davies is all alone on the right edge of the Boro box and tries a speculative shit.... IT'S IN!!! Mark Schwarzer completely fumbled it and let the ball slip in at the near post!! Bolton are right back in it!'
That at least explains Schwarzer's unwillingness to keep a firm hold.
3. http://www.football365.com/mediastore/Story_Images/Homepage/MediaWatch/keown_ruud1.jpg
Martin Keown in The Sun on Saturday: "I'd like to think I play the game fairly."
4. Revenge Is Sweet Nothing
Headline in The Sun: 'Take That Bobby'.
Opening paragraph in The Sun: 'Lomano LuaLua gained revenge on old boss Bobby Robson for loaning him out...'
The actual words of Lomano LuaLua: "Sir Bobby has always been more like a father to me. That is what he is like. I have to apologise to him and the Newcastle fans."
Take that indeed.

Oh yeah, I remember that one! the precise moment he said that, Petrescu megged Seaman! Also from the same game, do you remember the romanians all had dyed blonde hair and the commentator said "Played up by Petrescu, to Dumitrescu and on to ... Buggered if I know!" :D
Mystic Kev was also on form during the Argentina game that year, when asked if Batty would score from the spot in one word, Kev replied
"Yes, noooooooo!" (as Batty promptly missed!)

Peter Heatherston, manager of Scottish Third Division might, Albion Rovers, spoke his mind with regard to female assistant referee, Morag Pirie.
"She should be at home making the tea or the dinner for her man who comes in after he has been to the football. This is a professional man’s game. I believe that she shouldn’t be here."
Well said Peter!!

- (NEWCASTLE UNITED FAN, Radio 5 Live)

Not if he keeps chucking them in his own net! :D
One on the BBC news once, just before match of the day. "And if you don't want to know the score of the Semi final between Arsenal and Sheffield United, look away now" Ok, and of course just to remind you that Tottenham face Newcastle at Old Trafford tomorrow to see who will meet Arsenal in Cardiff!" :D (i forget the exact teams)
One great one from Man Utd's Public announcer at Old Trafford, after Diego Forlan scored his first goal for the club - "And the scorer for United - Number 7 David Beckham!" (he later admitted he missed the goal and took a guess at the scorer! :p ) Replays showed Beckham was on the other side of the pitch!
