Clough's quotes above are hardly bloopers. Sound common sense.

As for general bloopers two stand out for me in our history.

1) Malcolm Allison dismantling a great team and spending a fortune on very average players, bankrupting us and condemning us to subservience for the next 25 years.

2) Alan Ball's tactics. The entirety of the late great player's management tactics were 'pass it to Kinky'. One doesn't have to be a genius in the opposition dug-out to double-mark Kinkladze. Or in the stand to work out that many players, when in a decent position, instead of doing what they should, stopped everything and passed it backwards to Kinky.

I can't believe there's nothing from Paul 'Snort Away Son' Merson?

Oh wait, he's never been a manager, has he.

Who'd've thunk that. I'm gobsmacked that someone, sorry anyone would even consider the clown for a job - apart from Billy Smart of course.

That's easily one of my all time favourite clips. "No wonder he's in fucking reserves". Simply brilliant.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

And the sacrcastic 'Still got control even when you're not looking' comment from the interviewer, knowing that he's pissing himself laughing.
