There are no facts, only interpretations.

Just ask Donald Trump.

You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.
Friedrich Nietzsche

OD's last words to Phips, before taking a sabbatical.

Mesut Ozil also has a birthday today;
His pearls of Wisdom;

I've played for Real Madrid, where the pressure is so huge because you have to go and really win absolutely every game.

I'm so proud to play for a big club like Arsenal.

So he's seen both ends of the spectrum.

Another from Nietzsche:

'For the mediocre it is happiness to be mediocre; mastery in one thing, specialisation, is for them a natural instinct'.

Scholars now believe this was written whilst watching one of Tony Pulis' teams.

Kevin Keegan.

You could have a whole thread on Keegan alone.
He had some gems. A great man for mixed metaphors.

“I’d love to be a mole on the wall in the dressing room.”

You've gotta love him.

“in some ways, cramp is worse than having your leg broken”

With regard to football quotes, Brian Clough probably had a good few. He always made me laugh. Although most of his probably made some form of sense.
The likes of Michael Owen however....

'O, other people have thought the same thing, have they? That’s always the case with my originalities – they are original to nobody but myself'.

When Clough got out of the dugout to smack a supporter round the head for barracking.....the headline in the mirror the following day was “The Shit hits the fan”

My favourite quote is by Abe Lincoln ......”it’s better to be though of as being a fool and remain silent, than to speak up and remove all doubt”
He was of course talking about Glen Hoddle
