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 league tubs
I am more than happy at Blackpool and I am afraid the chairman will need a hell of a tub of cream to get rid of me - I'm like a bad rash and not easily curable.
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.
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 dark league
I love Blackpool. We're very similar. We both look better in the dark.
football league firsts
The dietician is going to get rid of that when he comes in. Although, first, we've got to get a dietician.
football tired league
This club needs an impetus of energy - but I just feel tired to be honest. I'm worn out.
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.
football dog league
You can say that strikers are very much like postmen: they have to get in and out as quick as they can before the dog starts to have a go.
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.
football running thinking
My wife runs the house much better than I could so I think she could be a linesman or a referee or even a football manager and that's the truth.
football champions-league two
I watched Arsenal in the Champions League the other week playing some of the best football I've ever seen and yet they couldn't have scored in a brothel with two grand in their pockets!
