Billy the Bluenose Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Some quotes from legendary Scotland international Gordon Strachan - Genuis!! Reporter: Gordon, Do you think James Beattie deserves to be in the England squad? Strachan: I don't 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? Reporter: Gordon, you must be delighted with that result? Strachan: You're spot on! You can read me like a book. Reporter: Gordon, Agustin Delgado? Strachan: I've got more important things to think about. I've got a yoghurt 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 off 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta love Strachan regardless of which team you follow. The guy shoots from the mouth and tells it as he sees it. I remember recently during Euro2004, Strachan was brought into the BBC offices as a commentary pundit during the England/France opening game. He were asked by TV presenter Gary Linaker what he (strachan) would do if he were an Englishmen, to which Gordon replied "I'd shoot myself!" Needless to say the BBC didnt ask him to return for the next fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
