Quotes Of The Week: 'Arry 'As 'Ad Enough

This weeks quotes section has everything: parties and party poopers, prophecies and insults, mistaken identities, robots, pop stars, sickos and even global warming...

EPL: Harry Redknapp - Arsene Wenger, Tottenham - Arsenal (PA)
They Say:

"You've got to be some kind of nutter to do that. That's not banter, that's sick. Sick. They're sickos who've got to be locked up somewhere," Harry Redknapp wants 'sickening' chants removed from the game, and racists should be jailed he says. Good on ya Harry! Tickets to White Hart Lane would certainly be freed up!

"From now on, if we win 5-1, if I score two goals and we go top of the league, I won’t try to enjoy it in a bar with my mates any more. I’ll go for a meal and be in my house by half past ten."  Steven Gerrard talks about the effect of his trial on his social life and in the process tells Merseyside burglars what time to clock-out at his place. Of course, if his fantasy performance happens on a Monday night, he'll have to get a take-away, won't he!

"I have no problem with him [Raymond Domenech] but someone should ask him if he has a problem with me," Karim Benzema wants to play well for France but wonders why he's not a favourite of Domenech. It's because the team is in good form... no.....erm?.... bagging goals?... Eh?... Eh? Je ne sais pas!

"Ashley [Cole] is probably the best left-back I have played against. He is so annoying - like a little rat," Jermaine Pennant compliments his friend. With friends like this, who needs Arsenal fans?

Pennant's mouth got more column inches than his football this week. Who does his think he is? Jose Mourinho? Well he does have a crack at Rafael Benitez:

"When I was on the touchline, all I could hear was [Rafael] Benitez giving me directions.At times I'd think 'why don't you just put the batteries in and turn me into a robot'," he said about the Liverpool manager. I'm sure if Rafa ever decided to build such a robot, it wouldn't have a mouth.

Good old Pele put his foot in it again too mistaking Michael Jordan for Michael Jackson. Maybe he'll be advertising dementia pills next. I'd love to know what Argentina coach Madonna has to say about this. Maradona??? Who??? Wasn't she married to Guy Ritchie?

“He is tense like a violin string – don’t touch him or he will explode – and in my opinion it is the Champions League that is tormenting him," Former Juve general manager Luciano Moggi explains Jose Mourinho's Champions League tension. Are you thinking what I am thinking? Pluck that string for us Luciano!

"Mourinho is a good communicator who hides his mediocrity as a coach behind the cameras. He is a good manager of players but he is better at managing journalists," Zdenek Zeman, Rubin Kazan's manager mistakes Jose for an editor ahead of their game.

"Zeman? I don't know him," Mourinho responded after a short-lived, self-imposed media ban.

Carlo Ancelotti is a footballing prophet: “There are too many good teams in the Premier League to remain unbeaten all season, so now it is important to maintain this level for as long as we can," he told skysports.com . They maintained the level for a few hours, before they lost 3-1 to Wigan. Can we have your tips for the Liverpool game Carlo?

We Say:

"Wenger, if more modern, has always maintained the club's reputation for sartorial elegance on and off the pitch and is rarely to be caught with a hair out of place," Tim Collings recommends Arsene's hair mousse as the Gunners chief celebrates 13 years in charge. Sartorial elegance mustn't have anything to do with the fifty plus red cards in thirteen years. The cake for the celebration was a big red card but sadly Arsene didn't see it.

"These days Ronaldinho is so bad that far from charming birds from trees he would fail to seduce even the last remaining ignorable girl sitting desperately alone at the far corner of the bar," Subhankar Mondal wonders if Ronaldinho can play for Brazil again. Wooing that lady would involve showing her the impressive bulge in his pants, that is his wallet!

Peter Staunton's fly-on-the-wall view inside the Bernabeu dressing room is worrying as Cristiano Ronaldo 'shares' his goals ..... for now:

"It's all backslaps and gentle-spanks for now; but if Ron were on the verge of a hat-trick or indeed, a Pichichi, would he be so forthcoming?"

You Say:

We asked who is to blame for Milan's demise this season:
Hmm said: "Manchester United" but changed his mind and said "Global Warming". Neither were correct.

All Juveland responds to Moggi's claims above: "Moggi is hilarious.... a proper rapport with the microphones, is a classic....i wish mourinho loved football as much as he loves attention"

Liverpool fan in Australia surveys the player ratings against Fiorentina.
"Can't believe Torres got less than Lucas. That idiot Lucas should've got 1 or 2. He was like a lost kid when Fiorentina had possession and offered nothing going forward too. Aurelio was lost in midfield too. So I Blamed the Coach for our lost. No midfield no goals for us. Hope we don't see Lucas anymore when Aquilani is fit."

RMNY
in USA: "I wonder who wins if AC Milan plays Athletico Madrid right now. Maybe an 0-0 draw?".

Carlos in Haloo (if that's such a place!? Maybe it's not even Carlos!?) rates Pepe in Madrid's Champions League win midweek.

"Pepe should at least get 7! Solid in defence and 1 assist! Perfect 7!"

Perfect is 10, Carlos.

"I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that they are up against the champions of Europe in the CL??" John at the Ministry For The Bleedin' Obvious poses a question on KS Leong's assessment of Barca's scoring form in Europe. You tell us John, if it is so obvious.
