Guff latest – Souey chops down rolling Arsenal
Graeme Souness ploughs two-footed into another adage:
“It’s like a stone rolling down a hill, gathering more and more moss.”
WORD TO THE WISE
Neil Warnock sounded a cautionary note:
“Wayne Rooney is just infectious.”
BLATANT INFRINGEMENT
As if imaginary yellow cards weren’t dastardly enough, Chris Kamara has found an even greater scourge:
“Karl Henry was sent off for a deliberate red card.”
A BIT SAMEY
Gilesy has long insisted there are no great players out there. No wonder his dream attacking trio lacks a little variety:
“You’d have to go a long way to emulate the teams of the past with Dalglish and himself and Kenny Dalglish.”
BASICS INSTINCT
Chris Kamara – no detail too familiar to bungle:
“Unbelievable Jeff. This is right on the edge of the penalty spot… on the penalty goal line… on the line for the, ah, box.”
HIGHER POWER
Chris Coleman had high praise for Brad Friedel:
“He is still performing at the highest level and to a higher level.”
GETTING HIS ANGLES WRONG
Ground-breaking Coleman also produced a new architectural construct:
“Blackburnhave turned a mini-corner.”
IAN WRONG WRONG WRONG
Clive Tyldesley hails the adopted Shaun Wright-Phillips:
“That raw power that he got from his dad’s genes.”
TWO BECOMES ONE
Charlie Nicholas throws in a bonus:
“One thing I knew Paul Lambert’s team would be is high tempo and a team that would make chances.”
TOO MUCH INFORMATION
As we know, Eric Wynalda has had vast experience in the game:
“I’ve had my way with Martin Jol.”
CHANGING TIMES
That great student of football history Jermaine Jenas has a theory:
“Chasing down defenders and stuff. I think Tevez was the one who probably started that over here.”
AWAY DAY
Talksport’s Ian Abrahams borrows the Paul Merson book of adages:
“We all know the old adage; what stays on tour, happens on tour.”
MERSE UPS THE ANTE
Over to you Jamie:
“He wants to bring in real top top top top that can win the Champions League.”
MEAT AND DRINK
Ray Hudson remained coolly indifferent to Eric Abidal’s winner in the Clasico cup first leg:
“The type of goal that causes your soul to bang on your ribcage to get out! He is onto this like Dracula on a plate of liver.”
HYPERBOLE CORNER
Alan Pardew sets the standard:
“One of the iconic numbers in world football – the number nine ofNewcastle.”
But Kevin Keegan remains the master:
“Andy Carroll is the best I’ve ever seen in the air!”
