Gordon Strachan quotes


Ty

Recommended Posts

Much as we hate the bitter wee man, you have to admit he somes out with some belters in interviews. Anyway, here's a list of some quality quotes from wee Chesney:

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?

Reporter: Gordon, you must be delighted with that result?

Strachan: You're spot on! You can read me like a book.

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.

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 of a bridge. Umm, I think I can take it, yeah.

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.

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...

Strachan was on Sky on Sunday morning. He saw John Terry's goal and said he was impressed that Terry goes up expecting to score. He contrasted this to Claus Lundekvam the Saints central defender who goes up for every dead ball and never ever looks remotely like scoring. He said if there was a dead body lying in the penalty area the ball would hit it on the head several times a season which he said is more than Lundekvam can manage. He said referees should book Lundekvam for timewasting every time he goes up for a corner. When the co-commentator said if Lundekvam was watching Strachan was only joking. Strachan assured him he was deadly serious.

That last one made me laugh :lol:

He's a cheeky little chappy isn't he :rolleyes:

I remember reading in Alex Ferguson's book that he was trying to chastise wee gordon one day and the annoying little prick seemed to think that responding with wise cracks was the way to go ... it wasn't reported what Sir Awex's response was but I can imagine

:lol:

I'm no fan of his mate, but some of the daft question's they ask, they do deserve it.

The problem is that the interviewer has no right of comeback to his smartarse replies, he makes mistakes in his job and on the whole will get time to think about how he'll respond, he's a wank.

Don't think we'll agree on this one Ty

Exactly how I see him, a twat of a bloke - even before he went there I wanted to slap the attitude right off his face.

He's an odious little twerp and this kind of thing just proves how much of a dislikeable wanker he is.

Don't know how anyone can find him funny in the slightest.

Reading some of them, i found some of them quite funny

However, he sounds like to much of a plonker to actually make them funny when spoken

Yeah, thought they'd be funnier spoken.
