Big Bad Bob Posted 18 December, 2008 Posted 18 December, 2008 Thought I'd post these as got reminded about them on the Tin Man thread. We should make it a caveat that all our managers are as dry as WGS was.. Southampton manager Gordon Strachan on Wayne Rooney : " Its an incredible rise to stardom, but at 17 you're more likely to get a call from Michael Jackson than Sven Goran Eriksson" Reporter: Gordon, Do you think James Beattie deserves to be in the England squad? Strachan: I dont care, I'm Scottish Reporter: "Gordon, can we have a quick word please?" Strachan: "Velocity" [walks off] 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? On Augustine Delgado: Strachan: I've got more important things to think about. I've got a yogurt to finish, 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: 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.

instinct Posted 18 December, 2008 Posted 18 December, 2008 loved it when he said marian pahars got sick so easily he could catch a computer virus
JustMike Posted 19 December, 2008 Posted 19 December, 2008 i remember one comment he made when we were high up the table, said something like he was going to go home and stare at the table on teletext all night!! I miss the guy and the club misses the success we had under him.
ericofarabia Posted 19 December, 2008 Posted 19 December, 2008 I loved his quip about Claus's lack of goals when he said something like he was half expecting the ref to book Claus for time wasting each time he went up for a corner I think it was when Niemi hit the bar and Killer scored in the last minute to equalize when we were playing Fulham at Loftus road ? whilst Craven Cottage was being rennovated or something or other :confused: Anyway WGS is going spare along with everybody else involved with Saints and was jumping about on the pitch when somebody from Fulham told him to get off the pitch and he replied along the lines of Bog off it's not your pitch anyway Top Top Man indeed, and would be welcome back at SMS any day of the year in my book.
Big Bad Bob Posted 19 December, 2008 Author Posted 19 December, 2008 When MLT got yellow carded at Highbury for calling the linesman a cheating **** or something like that. "Dunno what happened, It's amazing what you don't see from those dugouts!!" Class
ozzmeister Posted 19 December, 2008 Posted 19 December, 2008 I liked the comment ref Chris Marsden. It was when he missed to headed sitters and WGS said he was gona buy mrasden a wig to stop the ball slipping off his bald head lol!!
paulwantsapint Posted 19 December, 2008 Posted 19 December, 2008 WGS please Save Our Saints Come on there is nothing left to win in Scotland IMHO gettin Saints back to top flight would be better acheivment than winning the world cup with scotland So WGS come home
