Brian Clough:

"Players lose you games, not tactics. There's so much ###### talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes” 

“The players haven't got enough heart to fill a thimble” – on his Brighton side’s 8-2 defeat to Bristol Rovers.

“I’m 49, I’ve had a brain haemorrhage and a triple bypass and I could still go out and play a reasonable game of rugby union. But I wouldn’t last 30 seconds in rugby league.” 

Noel Kelly:

“I’ve been sent off so many times that when I am in the front yard doing the gardening and the postie goes by and blows his whistle, I just get up and go and have a shower”

Some old guy in Java once told me:

“If you argue with a monkey once, you are forgiven. If you argue with a monkey twice, you become a monkey.”

Now I don't know if he really said this but

"In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics.' All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia."
