Quote me happ Forward THINKING y
“McIlroy has never looked anything less than invincible this week; Barcelona in a three-button shirt.” A great line from the Guardian’s Lawrence Donergan.
“I could ring up Barcelona and enquire about Lionel Messi, but it doesn’t mean I’ll get him.” Ipswich boss Paul Jewell plays down interest in striker Connor Wickham.
“When you get to my age, you don’t buy green bananas.” Veteran Tom Watson refuses to make bold predictions about how much longer he can compete.
“It’s not easy putting a rubber on.” TMS commentator, Jonathan Agnew, left Michael Vaughan lost for words when commenting on Kevin Pietersen’s excellent attempt at putting a grip back on his bat handle.
“Empty your suitcase, the washing machine is waiting.” US Open champion Rory McIlroy reveals the greeting he received from girlfriend Holly on his return home from Congressional.
“Samit’s had much-publicised problems with the fridge.” Recalled by England for the first time since 2008, Samit Patel is unlikely to be allowed to forget why he was axed if Graeme Swann has his way.
“It’s like us calling it the Ann Summers stadium.” West Ham owner David Sullivan questions Manchester City’s stadium sponsorship deal with Etihad.
“He has a stance like using a 1950’s French toilet.” Sky TV’s Jeremy Coney tries to explain Sussex opener, Ed Joyce’s, rather unusal ‘squatting’ stance.
“He should stick to doing what he does best, which is building leisure clubs.” Andy Murray hits back at criticism from former Great Britain Davis Cup coach David Lloyd.
“I’ll probably get bored with it after a week and give up.” Darren Clarke has admitted he may lose interest in his plan to go on a diet having clinched Open Championship glory.
“I never thought about it, except of course, before, when I thought about it.” Ashley Cole clears up whether he’s ever thought about Real Madrid.
“You have 70-odd people who got murdered in Norway. That’s a lot more important than talking about whether I had one pint too many or not.” Darren Clarke tells critics of his drinking to gain some perspective.
“If you are serious, you can play 90 minutes. If not, you can come and sit by me on the bench.” Roberto Mancini cosies up to Mario Balotelli.
Cobbled together from Sky Sports, ESPN Sport and watching far too much sport on television!

It’s a jungle out there ... It must have something to do with travailing sprinklers and mowing heights!
The greens have a herribone primary drainage system
He knows what can be achieved in such a relevant short time
... to operate their self travailing sprinklers
I’ve come up with this idea for three years now
Every crook and nanny He’s wet between the ears!
... the club lost both of its polo fields to the Government through a Compulsive Purchase Order
... recovered really well from the savages of the winter
All course arsings are collected ...
The mowing height on the courts should be lowered to around 6-10m for the playing season
