Quote me happ Forward THINKING y
“At this particular moment in time, I’m as good a player as Steven [Gerrard].” Kenny Dalglish has been impressed by himself in training.
“We don’t come in and think every day, ‘How can we bugger up British tennis today?’” LTA chief executive Roger Draper gets defensive.
“I have seen a thousand Rooneys, and I am sure most police officers will have.” Superintendent Mark Payne claims Wayne Rooney would have been locked up if he had shown such ‘ridiculous aggression’ on a night out as he did on the football pitch.
“It is a dark day for cricket, but a great day for greed and fear.” Ireland cricket coach Phil Simmons slams the ‘despicable’ ICC for their decision to reduce the next World Cup to ten teams.
“It was for missing the bottle I was aiming at three times - that was poor play from my point of view!” Mark Hughes accepts the decision to send him to the stands after he missed his attempt to kick a bottle on three occasions.
“I want to listen to some music. I don't want to listen to a bunch of idiots.” Harry Redknapp refuses to listen to football phone-ins.
“I do not honestly know what is really happening in Libya at the moment, but it must be very hard for Gaddafi and his family.” El-Hadji Diouf really should keep quiet!
“All my season was shit - can I say that? I’ve played not very well.” Man City’s Mario Balotelli says what we’ve all been thinking.
“I’m walking off the golf course and I’m absolutely headless. Absolutely fuming. I don’t like this golf course. Period.” Ian Poulter pulled no punches when asked for his feelings on the redesigned Wentworth course.
“Do these guys really want to play on a course that’s fun where you can shoot 62s and 63s and end up winning with 26 or 28 under par? I don’t think that’s fun, that’s easy golf. Fun is Disneyland. This is a challenge to a golfer.” Wentworth owner Richard Caring suggests Poulter try Space Mountain instead.
“He’s a skinny runt who looks nothing like a modern-day footballer.” Harry Redknapp reckons Lionel Messi looks like ‘the sort of bloke you’d find sitting in a bookies’.
“He heard their juice would give me size and strength. It tasted disgusting, but I had to drink it because I wanted to be a footballer.” Park Ji-sung confirms his father made him drink boiled frog juice as a child!
Cobbled together from Sky Sports, ESPN Sport and watching far too much sport on television!

Loz is a member of the magic triangle ... ... that’s when he’s not dealer wheelering or teasing his tongue!
I suppose it’s like a magician trying to get a hat out of a rabbit!
After lunch the association spit into three workshops
He’s a bit of a dealer wheeler They work a spilt shift
... their fine rage of triple mowers
Joseph Cyril Bamford later took the opportunity to use his initials for the company name.
I’ve just had a phone call from Simon Grumble at Campeys
... two arctic lorries
... it’s a bit of a tongue teaser I’ll ring you on my phone ... ... and one from Pitchcare Peter!
I think a recognise trip might be in order
