Had some hilarious quotes though heard a few on radio the other day these are some examples of him :lol: …

“Merseyside derbies usually last 90 minutes and I’m sure today’s won’t be any different.”

“The referee is wearing the same yellow-coloured top as the Slovakian goalkeeper. I’d have thought the UEFA official would have spotted that – but perhaps he’s been deafened by the noise of this crowd.”

“For those of you watching in black and white, Spurs are in the yellow strip.”

“I’ve just heard that in the other match Real Madrid have just scored. That makes the score, if my calculations are correct, 4 – 3! But I’m only guessing!”

“In a sense it’s a one-man show… except that there are two men involved, Hartson and Berkovic, and a third man, the goalkeeper.”

“It’s Arsenal 0 – 1 Everton, and the longer it stays like that the more you’ve got to fancy Everton to win.”

“The World Cup is a truly international event.”

“Actually, none of the players are wearing earrings. Kjeldberg, with his contact lenses is the closest we can get.”

“It’s so different from the scenes in 1872, at the Cup Final none of us can remember.”

“The goals made such a difference to the way this game went.”
