It's Friedrich Nietzsche's birthday today.
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.

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.
“The tide is very much in our court now.”
“I’d love to be a mole on the wall in the dressing room.”
You've gotta love him.

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....

Another gem fro Keegan. “They’re the second best team in the world and there’s no higher praise than that”

There’s nothing new except what’s been forgotten.
Can’t remember who said that. Maybe it was me.

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

Honest.
I think it might have been KK too.

Today's Birthdays;
Oscar Wilde,
He's quoted a lot. I think this one somes up the criticism we get from the likes of the Rags.
Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people whom we personally dislike.
and'
Ridicule is the tribute paid to the genius by the mediocrities.

Flea, of Red Hot Chilli Peppers amongst others;
Anything worth doing good takes a little chaos.
