[Archived] Souness' Quotes

[Kennysuperbuyer]

Was just wondering which one of Souness' favourite quotes will rear it's head first at Newcastle.

Will it be " I have the best job in the premiership" - " we just need a wee bit of luck" - the squad is now stronger than last season" - "we dont want babies at this club" etc etc.

2/1 on the babies

[G Somerset Rover]

5-1 he incorporates the words "lady luck" into his first post match interview.

[T4E]

"I'd love to go out in January and spend £10m on a defender, but I cant, so we'll just have to carry on shittin' with the arsehole we've got."

That'll be you then, Graeme.

[Wiggy]

Re: Wor Al "he's a proper human being and a proper man's man".

[1864roverite]

it was Alans fault, he picked the team so blame him !

[Quack]

I reckon you would get short odds on " lady luck " and " penalties ".

Stop whinging about the man. He gave you some good times, he gave you some bad ones.

He's gone. He ain't a Rover anymore.

Be positive and welcome his successor.

[Ianrally]

Well said DB. That's the correct and only view we all should have now.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Agree totally Dave...let it go

[Lathund]

It's not really whining though is it? Except maybe for T4E it's just speculation.

[T4E]

I have hostility towards Souness for the way he has carried himself over the last 18 months. Mistakes he's made, players he has lost us, things he has said and ultimately contradicted through his own actions.

Yes we had good times, but in the end he let us down.

[Ozz]

I`ve got my 33 year old son to keep me calm when I go home...My glass of red wine will taste even better tonight...I going to have bath in pound coins later on with Mr and Mrs Lady Luck...And then give them a punch on the nose, but it`s how they react to that...

They came with a game plan (of course, only pub teams and Rovers don't have a game plan before they kick off)

They came with one goal in mind, to stop us playing football.

That ref was minging

(Off Camera) [ Newcastle's Equivalent of ... ] Wendy 's gonna rip me to shreads after that bag of #### perfmance, you go and talk to her instead Deano.

[Simon Says]

2/1 on the babies

Interview with Souness in this mornings Sunday Telegraph.

Quote

"Alan Shearer along with Shay Given and Nicky Butt are the senior pros here. In terms of football the rest are just babies."

[SharrockDownSouth]

Tips-meister Sharrock

[BMan]

"We didn't have the rub of the green"

5-1 odds

[S15]

''I'm an idiot who used to have a big fat hairy porno tasche.''

[brfcshabba]

"I felt we matched <Insert Team Name> in the first half"

"We got our goal"

[roversWASmylife]

That ref was minging

That`s my favourite.

Think that was when he said it after the home game in the 2001/02 season after we lost 1-0 to Derby, we signed Cole shortly after I think.

[broadsword]

Re: Wor Al "he's a proper human being and a proper man's man".

"Alan Shearer - he's a proper person ..."

[John]

"on another day the result could have been different"

"its time now for the players to stand up and be counted"

Suppose GS was with us for 4 years so his quotes did get a bit repetitive.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Lady luck..repeat till fade.

[bob fleming]

"I'd love to go out in January and spend £10m on a defender, but I cant, so we'll just have to carry on shittin' with the arsehole we've got."

That'll be you then, Graeme.

What about... "I've had too many miserable Saturday nights and Sunday Mornings - too many ruined weekends - I don't want to go through that again - hopefully the Arsenal job will come up in a few weeks time for me before I get sacked."

Or.... "Shearer may have banged 35 goals for me and it's only February but I've dropped him as it looks like he's getting 'the big head on' "

Or.... to the ref after the Newcastle game at Ewood, when we beat them with out first penalty since God know's how long "I didn't know you were a Blackburn fan."

Or... "we may have just lost 7-0 to Crystal Palace at home but my players can't wait to get out there for our next game, it can't come quick enough" - "But it's against Arsenal wor Graeme man?" - "Oh FFS. Deano!"

...all down to bad luck...

[Radagast]

KSB, you really are in Desperation Country now, eh? I mean, what on earth can you bitch and moan about now that Souness is gone? Starting threads slating the man after you got your wish is pretty pathetic. I guess optimism would have been too much to ask.
