football league sticks
It was lucky that the linesman wasn't stood in front of me as I would have poked him with a stick to make sure he was awake.
football cake league
In football you need to have everything in your cake mix to make the cake taste right. One little bit of ingredient that Tony Pulis uses in his cake gets talked about all the time is Rory's throw. Call that cinnamon and he's got a cinnamon flavoured cake.
thumbs barrels ifs
If I fell into a barrel of boobs, I'd come out sucking my thumb
swag waiting house
If you're a burglar, it's no good waiting about outside somebody's house, looking good with your swag bag ready. Just get in there, burgle them and come out. I don't advocate that obviously, it's just an analogy.
football tired league
This club needs an impetus of energy - but I just feel tired to be honest. I'm worn out.
football league half
I might be in a bit of a Skoda garage rather than a Mercedes garage, but I am telling you some old bangers don't half polish up great.
stars moon sometimes
Sometimes when you aim for the stars, you hit the moon.
football thinking eight
You never count your chickens before they hatch. I used to keep parakeets and I never counted every egg thinking I would get all eight birds. You just hoped they came out of the nest box looking all right. I'm like a swan at the moment. I look fine on top of the water but under the water my little legs are going mad.
football vintage league
Paul Furlong is my vintage Rolls Royce and he cost me nothing. We polish him, look after him, and I have him fine tuned by my mechanics. We take good care of him because we have to drive him every day, not just save him for weddings.
football play piano
It's all very well having a great pianist playing but it's no good if you haven't got anyone to get the piano on the stage in the first place, otherwise the pianist would be standing there with no bloody piano to play.
football heart league
There was a spell in the second half when I took my heart off my sleeve and put it in my mouth.
burn easier experience fail family outside reaction stop teach thinking walk willing
When you see the coals, your first reaction is to think 'my God, that's going to burn me', ... If someone can teach you how to put that out of your mind, how can that fail to make you a better footballer? You may not be able to walk afterwards, which is a risk, but it's one we're willing to take. You have to stop thinking about your family or anything else that is going on outside the game. You can get better at it and the more experience you get the easier it becomes.
crowd man seemed sent teeth wake
When their man was sent off, it seemed to wake up the crowd and give them someone to get their teeth into and fortunately for us that was the referee,
knew money mum running tin
When my mum was running our house, when I was a kid, all the money was put into tins. She knew what was in every tin and I know how much I've got in my tin - that's the way we'll run this club.
