I must say there were some pretty good quotes on the old forum by reaper. I think reaper should go on a marathon quote - athon, to provide us all with endless hours of laughter. How does it feel reaper to know the first premier league thread on the new forum, says Go Liverpool??? Boot, Thought this topic might be appropriate, still football related topics though. Reaper could the Forum's entry to Benny Hill. (Benny Hill died though!!) Seriously, The most profound comment was from CYAClown, who responded to the adage "cream always rises to the top" with "Crap floats on top as well"!!

Didnt realise someone had posted the below comments on another site. Copied courtesy of Funny Football Quotes & Sports Nut:
SOCCER QUOTES Quotes from a soccer forum . “You drank beer, you played golf, you watched football - WE EVOLVED!” Frank Zappa (ok, he meant gridiron!) . When I first met him I didn't know whether to shake his hand or lick his face." Robbie Williams, on David Beckham . In football everything is complicated by the presence of the opposite team.” Jean-Paul Sartre . “Penalties do not deter men when their conscience is aroused.” Nelson Mandela . Not sure who said it, but:'how can i be expected to soar like an eagle when i am flying with ducks' . as a manager you always have a gun at your head, its a question of if there is a bullet in the barrel" K.Keagan . The story goes that when Sir Alf Ramsey was giving one of his notoriously straight-faced England team talks in the early 70s, he told Rodney Marsh that if the forward’s workrate was not up to scratch, he would be “pulled off” at half-time. Marsh smirked and replied “Crikey, Alf, at Manchester City all we get is an orange and a cup of tea.” . U15's Dulwich Hill Coach in a trail game this year in a pre game talk to his players: "I don't care about the result as long as we don't lose" .... same game in the second half, calls off a player (substition) as the player runs to the coach, the coach says: "Good game son, I pulled you off so we have a better chance of winning.." ======================

Not sure who said it, but:'how can i be expected to soar like an eagle when i am flying with ducks' Or the other translation is 'How can I fly like an eagle when I am surrounded by turkeys.'
