He's a star ! The velocity one makes me crack up every time. :-)

Rick, Loved it. Isn't he wonderful? Well done today. Very happy with our result yesterday. Jean x.

Looking at their injury list Maz we really should give them a thumping. Now that really would be a good start to the new season ! Regardless, if you hear a lot of noise later on you know it will be me shouting at the telly lol. Rick.x

awwww!!! I like Gordon Strachan - you know EXACTLY where you stand with him! We got a draw Rick, wonder how YOUR lot will go on today????? Maz. XX

Gordon Strachan on Wayne Rooney : It's 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 don’t 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: Gordon, you must be delighted with that result? Strachan: You're spot on! You can read me like a book. 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. I'll go home, become an alcoholic and maybe jump off a bridge. Umm, I think I can take it, yeah. Reporter: So Gordon, any changes then ? Strachan: Naw, still 5ft 6, ginger hair, and a big nose ! 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................ Reporter: So, Gordon, any plans for Europe this year ? Strachan: Aye, me and the wife quite fancy Spain in August. Gary Lineker: So Gordon, if you were English, what formation would you play? Gordon Strachan: If I was English I'd top myself!

The wise words of Mr. Gordon Strachan.......
