"I’m ecstatic to be back at Arsenal and I have worked bloody hard to get there. [Manager] Arsene Wenger has been an inspiration," Sol Campbell is rolling back the years as he makes a surprise return to the Gunners.
"At 3-2 I was pondering my first home defeat in eight years against [Alberto] Malesani’s Siena, and I thought at least it will come against a coach I like," Jose Mourinho won't mind losing his first home game in eight years as long as it's against someone he likes. Love him or loathe him, that's a highly impressive record.
But Luciano Moggi doesn't agree. Does he ever?
"The Portuguese is very lucky. Inter are the least bad side in a dreadful league. After all, the big name coaches and stars have moved abroad.”He is nothing more than an amateur, a fish out of water on the bench, just like his president [Massimo Moratti]," Moggi said.
"I called him just to say hello and as we talked I joked with Seba, 'If you want, you can come to play for [Manchester] City', but I was only joking and he knew that. He plays for Estudiantes and is very happy there. It was never a possibility for us." Roberto Mancini says talk of Juan Sebastian Veron joining City were a joke. Not the first time Veron has been a joke in Manchester.
"I just can’t imagine going to somewhere like the Budweiser Stadium to support Liverpool, and I’m sure there are plenty who feel the same way," Graham Agg, the secretary of the German Reds official supporters' club, doesn't fancy the idea of a stadium sponsor at Liverpool. What about naming the stadium the Wonderbra Stadium? Great support and no cups.
"I can categorically say that I never spoke to Nuts magazine. I certainly wouldn't say something as inflammatory as Rafa should be sacked. Rafa is under enough pressure at the moment and his job is hard enough; I have never, ever, said that he should go. The story is completely fictitious, and I will be consulting my lawyers," Liverpool legend John Aldridge insists talk of him saying Rafa should quit is just Nuts.
"It’s always difficult to lose a special player and Cristiano Ronaldo is one of those. He created so much and scored so many goals that they were always going to miss him. But for me United miss Carlos Tevez just as much, if not more, than they do Ronaldo. His work-rate for United was phenomenal and it was always going to be difficult to replace someone like that," Teddy Sheringham can't be serious can he? Ronaldo was voted the best player in the world while at United. Tevez was a substitute. Come off it Teddy!

"Now ask yourself: what is more unacceptable – taking recreational drugs or performance enhancing drugs? At the very most, they are as bad as one another. But, for a footballer, it is surely worse to inject yourself with steroids than it is to snort a line of cocaine," Carlo Garganese sparks an interesting debate on the punishment not fitting the crime between performance enhancers and cocaine abuse.
"He was an iconic legend at the club. He laughed when I reminded him about his childhood in Soweto. He told me that only in football could a black boy from the apartheid era become a hero to white people in Yorkshire in England." Asish Sharma on Leeds legend Lucas Radebe and the power of football.
"Ladan Bosso has absolutely no pedigree and has no noteworthy achievement to pitch along side his name. Aside his being technically bereft, like his colleague Shuaibu Amodu, he is also arrogantly loquacious," Awenlimobor Sylvester's Nigeria comment should have made last week's quotes simply for the word of the week. Loquacious. Look it up. Loquacious. Just rolls off the tongue. Loquacious.
"What must Roman Abramovich think, when he reads that the man he is paying so handsomely to direct the team is barely heralded by the players beneath him? Alex Dimond our resident Chelsea commentator, examines the worrying trend of the lunatics running the asylum at Stamford Bridge.

"De la Red go to House M.D he surely knows whats your problem.:D Anyway I feel very sorry for you I thought you're going to be the next Guti. Keep up," Davieeeed in Madrid adds to Ruben De La Red's woes by saying he could be the next Guti. Ouch!
Danny the Salford Red in Salford, thinks Teddy Sheringham has lost the plot:
"Its finally happened, Old Ted has gone senile!!!!!!"
"sherringham, fine you scored the '99 equalizer, thank you. now go play your poker," manu faithful agrees.
""according to The Daily Mail" you lost me after that. Two things tho. It's rather funny a RM fan laughing about selling a stadium or Training ground to cover debt..pot-kettle-black." Milan4Ever in Italia is sceptical on the source of the Old Trafford for sale story but doesn't think those in glass houses should through stones.
"You don't have to worry about that Guti, I think your career is over," Barca Fan in Barbados thinks the loquacious Guti's dream to retire at Real Madrid has already come true.
