"We don't complain about referees here" - Gareth Southgate. Wait for it...

* "We were robbed. That is the second time this season that referee has ruined a game for me. He totally spoilt the night. I am almost speechless that something like that can happen. With one decision, he took our dream away. Never in a million years would Manchester United concede a penalty like that at Old Trafford. If the same situation occurs at the other end in the replay, I would put my house on us not getting the decision" - George Boateng, who used both hands and still thinks it's okay. ..hehe..

"When I looked down the leg was lying one way and my ankle was pointing towards Hong Kong - so I knew I was in serious trouble."
Alan Smith - on his horrific ankle injury

Heard of the Merseyside Derby? Let's just say you won't see a Liverpudian walking in the street hand-in-hand with an Evertonian.

To share some of Jose Mourinho qoutes

And I think because of the passion of every English player and every English supporter, and every English journalist for the game, most of the game is played with passion, love for football and instinct, but in football you also have to think.
Jose Mourinho

And when I go to the press conference after the game, the game has not finished yet.
Jose Mourinho

Arsenal have won that advantage, nobody gave it to them. By playing fantastic football and by winning matches and by winning trophies, they won that respect that the opponent has for them.
Jose Mourinho

At the very least we should be given a bit of credit and a little bit of space, and maybe the media should think we could help them discover why English teams do not win European competitions.
Jose Mourinho

But I think it's more normal for my team to have no success than it is to win two consecutive European cups.
Jose Mourinho

Especially when you play at home, you need a good atmosphere behind you.
Jose Mourinho

Facing the press is not easy, but because you have to go, you have to try to take a lot of positive things for yourself from these face-to-face meetings.
Jose Mourinho

For example, in my team I love to have Geremi on the bench because he's a low-profile player who is ready to help, ready to fight for the team, ready to do the job I want him to do.
Jose Mourinho

I always feel that with a president, an owner - it depends on the structure of the club and the country - the players generally like to see him.
Jose Mourinho

I don't say we are a defensive team. I say we are a strong team in defensive terms, but at the same time lacking sufficient fluidity in attack because that will take time to come.
Jose Mourinho

I enjoy the work, I enjoy every minute of my professional life.
Jose Mourinho

I feel I have a lot to learn from English football and I am completely open to good influences in my way of thinking football. But I also have things to give them.
Jose Mourinho

I followed an Italian manager and it cannot be easy when you follow a manager who thinks very differently.
Jose Mourinho

I think I am the special one.
Jose Mourinho

I think the best place to work in football is England.
Jose Mourinho

I was nine or 10 years old and my father was sacked on Christmas Day. He was a manager, the results had not been good, he lost a game on December 22 or 23. On Christmas Day, the telephone rang and he was sacked in the middle of our lunch.
Jose Mourinho

In England, when people go to football they just go to think about football. Nothing else. They enjoy every second of the game.
Jose Mourinho

In five years I have never had a match where my team has had less possession than the opponents.
Jose Mourinho

In general terms we must think more about our football and not play by instinct.
Jose Mourinho

In the same way that I had to follow an Italian manager here, I can imagine that it was not easy for an Italian manager to follow me at Porto.
Jose Mourinho

Look at the way teams play against Arsenal. They don't believe they can win. They don't believe.
Jose Mourinho

So I know all about the ups and downs of football, I know that one day I will be sacked.
Jose Mourinho

So if one day the result becomes 3-3, for me it doesn't change my mind, because it's football, it's normal. What is not normal is that we haven't been scoring enough goals playing such good football as we've been playing in the last few weeks.
Jose Mourinho

So when they have Mourinho and Benitez joining the Premiership they should say it's good for us, maybe these guys have something new to give.
Jose Mourinho

Sometimes in Portugal when you play away from home, the atmosphere is very hostile.
Jose Mourinho

The negative side of football. The negative side of our society. People sometimes go to football and bring to it the negative aspects of our society.
Jose Mourinho

The only thing I would like is to have more control of the game in terms of possession.
Jose Mourinho

The only thing that we cannot control is our supporters.
Jose Mourinho

The Porto players were with me for two and a half years, they believed in me, in my methods, in the way we do it. The next day I go and a manager arrives who works completely differently.
Jose Mourinho

The team is completely close. Anything you say outside, there is no chance it will go inside. So the team is really strong and compact. We know what we want and how to achieve it on the pitch.
Jose Mourinho

The way I use to develop an aerobic condition is three against three, man to man, in a square 20 metres by 20.
Jose Mourinho

When I face the media, maybe I don't feel it now, here with you, because it's a different sort of interview, but when I face the media before or after the game, I feel it as part of the game.
Jose Mourinho

When I go to the press conference before the game, in my mind the game has already started.
Jose Mourinho

When you go to the stadiums, the atmosphere is so beautiful that maybe you don't feel so much the importance of the game.
Jose Mourinho

When you just work tactically, in pure football sessions, you can see the way they can think football.
Jose Mourinho

When you play another team with the same qualities as you normally the best one wins.
Jose Mourinho

You can have the top stars to bring the attention, you can have the best stadium, you can have the best facilities, you can have the most beautiful project in terms of marketing and all this kind of thing. But if you don't win... All the work these people are doing is forgotten.
Jose Mourinho

You have to win and especially, as I have, you have to win a trophy for the first time.
Jose Mourinho

You see how Spanish, Italians, Portuguese play football. I don't say they are perfect, I say English football has a few things to learn from them in the same way they have a lot of things to learn from English football.
Jose Mourinho

IMO this is one of the best Jose quotes... it made me LOL

"I think he [Arsene Wenger] is one of these people who is a voyeur," said the Portuguese coach. "He likes to watch other people."

Haha,that make arsene really furious..

"I don't play against a particular team. I play against the idea of losing." -Eric Cantona-

"I might have said that, but on the whole I talk a lot of rubbish."

"Sometimes in life one experiences an emotion which is so strong that it is difficult to think, or to reason. Sometimes you get submerged by emotion. I think it's very important to express it - which doesn't necessarily mean hitting someone. I am very mistrustful of people who are constantly over-intellectualising things. It kills passion. You have to allow yourself to lose control from time to time." -Eric Cantona-

"After his first training session in heaven, George Best, from his favourite right wing, turned the head of God who was filling in at left-back. I would love him to save me a place in his team - George Best that is, not God."

Ince about Cantona before he entered court: 'We stayed at the Croydon Park hotel. So we got up in the morning and I've got me suit on - the nuts, know what I mean? I knock on Eric's door and he's standing in jacket, white shirt, long collars like that [he gestures to describe long, pointed collars], unbuttoned so you can see his chest. "Eric, you can't go to court like that", I told him and he says, "I am Cantona, I can go as I want"'.

"Collar turned up, back straight, chest stuck out, he glided into the arena as if he owned the F*****g place. Any arena, but nowhere more effectively than Old Trafford. This was his stage. He loved it, the crowd loved him" (Roy Keane, Cantona's successor as Manchester United captain.)



GORDON STRACHAN"S

"If a Frenchman goes on about seagulls, trawlers and sardines, he's called a philosopher. I'd just be called a short Scottish bum talking crap." Gordon Strachan in response to Cantona's famous quote following the 1995 Crystal Palace-Simmons incident.

It's an incredible rise to stardom. At 17 you're more likely to get a call from Michael Jackson than Sven Goran Eriksson.

* On Wayne Rooney.

Reporter: Gordon, can we have a quick word please?
Strachan: Velocity.


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


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


Strachan was on Sky on Sunday morning. He saw John Terry's goal and said he was impressed that Terry goes up expecting to score. He contrasted this to Claus Lundekvam the Saints central defender who goes up for every dead ball and never ever looks remotely like scoring. He said if there was a dead body lying in the penalty area the ball would hit it on the head several times a season which he said is more than Lundekvam can manage. He said referees should book Lundekvam for timewasting every time he goes up for a corner. When the co-commentator said if Lundekvam was watching Strachan was only joking. Strachan assured him he was deadly serious.

Gordon Strachan is the master of 'using metaphore word' if u get what i meant..

LOL at this one..

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.

haha that's the nice one from Gordon.. that reporters surely cursing him after that..
