Tannhauser Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 As I'm not a football fan, I don't know anything about Gordon Strachan, but I do admire a lateral or withering response to a stupid question. Quotes attributed to him: (1)Current manager of the gods Gordon Strachan on Wayne Rooney : Its an incredible rise to stardom, at 17 you're more likely to get a call from Michael Jackson than Sven Goran Eriksson. (2) Reporter: Gordon, Do you think James Beattie deserves to be in the England squad? Strachan: I dont care, I'm Scottish. (3) Reporter: Gordon, can we have a quick word please? Strachan: Velocity [walks off] (4) 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. (5) Reporter: Gordon, you must be delighted with that result? Strachan: You're spot on! You can read me like a book. (6) On Augustine Delgado: 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. (7) 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. (8) 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. (9) 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! (10) Reporter: where will Marion Pahars fit into the team line-up? Strachan: Not telling you! It's a secret. (11) Reporter: You don't take losing lightly, do you Gordon? Strachan: I don't take stupid comments lightly either. (12) 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.

JohnnyW Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Think all those quotes were from his days in England, since moving to one half of the bigot brothers he's turned into a moaning, deluded, twisted little man. Much like the fans of both teams....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
