Gordan Strachen is fucking billiant.
-----
Southampton manager Gordon Strachan on Wayne Rooney: " Its an incredible
rise to stardom, at 17 you're more likely to get a call from Michael
Jackson than Sven Goran Eriksson ".
Reporter: Gordon, Do you think James Beattie deserves to be in the England
squad?
Strachan: I dont care, I'm Scottish
Reporter: "Gordon, can we have a quick word please?"
Strachan: "Velocity" [walks off]
Reporter: Welcome to Southampton Football Club. Do you think you are the
right man to turn things around?
Strachan: No. I was asked if I thought I was the right man for the job and
I said, "No, I think they should have got George Graham because I'm
useless."
Reporter: Is that your best start to a season?
Strachan: Well I've still got a job so it's far better than the Coventry
one, that's for sure.
Reporter: Are you getting where you want to be with this team?
Strachan: We're not doing bad. What do you expect us to be like? We were
eighth in the league last year, in the cup final and we got into Europe.
I don't now where you expect me to get to. Do you expect us to win the
Champions League?
Reporter: Gordon, you must be delighted with that result?
Strachan: You're spot on! You can read me like a book.
On Augustine Delgado:
Strachan: I've got more important things to think about. I've got a yogurt
to finish by today, the expiry date is today. That can be my priority
rather than Agustin Delgado.
Reporter: This might sound like a daft question, but you'll be happy to
get your first win under your belt, won't you?
Strachan: You're right. It is a daft question. I'm not even going to
bother answering that one. It is a daft question, you're spot on there.
Reporter: Bang, there goes your unbeaten run. Can you take it?
Strachan: No, I'm just going to crumble like a wreck. 'll go home, become
an alcoholic and maybe! jump off a bridge. Umm, I think I can take it,
yeah.
Reporter: There's no negative vibes or negative feelings here?
Strachan: Apart from yourself, we're all quite positive round here.I'm
going to whack you over the head with a big stick, down negative man,
down.
Reporter: where will Marion Pahars fit into the team line-up?
Strachan: Not telling you! It's a secret.
Reporter: You don't take losing lightly, do you Gordon?
Strachan: I don't take stupid comments lightly either.
Reporter: So, Gordon, in what areas do you think Middlesbrough were better
than you today?
Strachan: What areas? Mainly that big green one out there..
