Turf Side Up Quote me happy
“The noise when these players hit the ball is becoming a serious problem Stateside.” Sky Sports commentator Bruce Critchley tires of the endless, mindless yelling which accompanied every shot at the US PGA.
“We should be allowed to take 10,000 volt tazers onto the course and tazer every muppet who shouts out something stupid. I would laugh then.” Ian Poulter is less than amused with the behaviour of the crowd at the US PGA.
“So, if you’ve just got in ... if you were dragged to the supermarket by the wife, here are the wickets.” Ian Botham lands himself in hot water after being accused of sexism for his comment on the last day of the Durham Ashes Test.
“When I woke up this morning, I was a bit stiff.” Sometimes, Tiger Woods, the punchlines just write themselves!
“I am very excited to see him in the flesh and play with him.” We trust this is a footballing reference from Theo Walcott regarding Arsenal’s new signing, Mesut Ozil!
“Maybe it would help if I was a foot taller, had hair and didn’t look like a pitbull.” Leicester RFC’s boss Richard Cockerill reflects on his reputation.
I don’t know if a threat from a teenage girl is much of a threat.” Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert isn’t too worried about Gabby Agbonlahor’s safety after he received death threats from One Direction fans for a charity game tackle on Louis Tomlinson.
“Sometimes you are unlucky. Sometimes you get what you deserve. And sometimes you just get a kick in the nuts.” Northampton’s Christian Day reflects on his side’s agonising Premiership defeat to Gloucester.
“It’s another deja vu again.” Alan Smith describing a ‘similar’ Arsenal attack against Sunderland on Sky Sports.
“Have I, bollocks ...” Shy and ‘retiring’ cricketer Matthew Hoggard when asked if he has ever signed an autograph with MBE after his name.
“Manu, everyone thinks you are a two-year old, do you really want that? Now go away and grow up please.” Ex-British & Irish Lions hooker Brian Moore makes his feelings known about Manu Tuilagi following his prank on David Cameron.
“This is way beyond what I could have imagined.” Henrik Stenson tries to get his head around winning $10m thanks to one golf tournament!
“Did I win?” The first thing Andy Murray said after coming round from his back operation.
