"I have told my strikers that for the rest of the season their address is number one, the penalty area"
I actually cried with laughter when I heard that
I think we should collect them and write a book

almost as funny as, "i am a winner i am" Kevin Ratcliffe but not as funny as, "this will never happen again" Roland Rat at Exeter on the last day of the season which saw Shrewsbury stay up.

I was p**sing myself right through the Forest Green interview.
My personal favourite bits were, firstly, where he complained at the state of the pitch (yeah, Mick, 'cos Telford's millionaire footballing superstars are all completely unused to playing on poor, lower-league surfaces) and, best of all, when he implied that the draw was due to Forest Green 'raising their game' against Telford; as if they were bloody Man Utd or something instead of the totally bog-standard Conference opposition they actually are. ;D

The best was earlier in the season,
'I would blow my own house up for a clean sheet'
Classic ;D

Yes thats his best yet. But Im sure he said later in that interview "if we keep a clean sheet the least we get is a draw" Well worked out Michael ;D

My favourite was in the same speech where he did a sentence with:
“The ball wasn’t bouncing and there’ll always be a game like that a season, it may be Man Utd, but people don’t believe me, but I saw the Wimbledon Vs West Ham game the other night and that was dire”.
What he was going on about, I don’t know, but I do like him.

Taken this from the Guardian today.
Only the first few paragraphs but the Astro turf quote puts Mick Moans in the shade.
Obituary
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tug McGraw
Maverick pitcher who helped two teams clinch first world series titles
Michael Carlson Thursday January 8, 2004 The Guardian
Left-handed pitchers are the eccentrics of American baseball. It is no coincidence that their signature pitch is a reverse-breaking curveball, baseball's googly, called a "screwball". It is even less coincidental that the screwball was the signature pitch of Tug McGraw, who has died aged 59, and who helped two teams win their first-ever world series, and coined the New York Mets' motto, "Ya Gotta Believe". Despite his exuberant behaviour on the mound, and his penchant for offbeat quotes - asked if he preferred grass to artificial turf, McGraw replied "I don't know, I've never smoked Astro-Turf" - McGraw disliked the screwball label. "I'm not a screwball, I'm a flake," he explained, though few understood the distinction.

James Bond: "Mick there is a big game for the fans next week and....... Mick: "UUh James the games in the league are 3 times more important, next week is just a pre-season friendly"
Don't think his own fans agreed with him! ;D
