I guess it shows the inaneness of the questions they are always asked?

"Do you think you team will build on today's victory?"
"No way, absolute fluke really."

Same in every sport really, generic question generic answer

Strachan always dealt with them well.


Reporter: "Gordon, can we have a quick word please?"
Strachan: "Velocity" (walks off)

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: "Gordon, do you think James Beattie deserves to be in the England squad?"
Strachan: "I don't care, I'm Scottish."


Reporter: "Gordon, you must be delighted with that result?"
Strachan: "You're spot on! You can read me like a book!"

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: “Where will Marion Pahars fit into the team line-up?”
Strachan: “Not telling you! It's a secret.”

Reporter: “So Gordon, any changes then?”
Strachan: “No, still 5ft 6, ginger and a big nose!”

Reporter: "What is your impression of Jermaine Pennant?"
Strachan: "I don't do impressions."

Love that man, I clearly remember the one I've highlighted in blue. This just brought tears to my eyes at my desk at work with laughter.

Martin Jol was good for this. I seem to remember after a game on deadline day when we were rumoured to buy Danny Murphy and he was asked "is this one still alive" and Jol said something like "I think he is, I'm don't think he is dead".

I think caps should be something you leave behind as a man when you turn 18. But you can get away with it if it's used as a utility item, but a real man gets eye damage instead.
It's Bale.. he can pull off anything. You are not permitted to complain. It's Bale

Or for playing baseball.

Other than that stop wearing them if you consider yourself a 'grown up'.

(Bale excluded, he can do what he wants)
