The fans

“I’m sick to death of Steve Bruce bleating about officials. Your team is crap, you don’t have a clue and you’re going down. “We’re not getting that bit of luck, the big decisions aren’t going our way.” Boo hoo.” football365.com

“Avram Grant’s honeymmon is over. Messi, Villa and Alves in January please.” chelseafc.com

“Mr Dave Whelan, can you get off your sunlounger in the Caribbean and please come home and sort out what’s happening at Wigan Athletic.” bbc.co.uk/606

“Derby are the worst Premiership team I have ever seen. They can’t defend, they have no spirit once they fall a goal down, they have no presence in midfield and only one striker anywhere near a half-decent standard. I’ll eat my left arm if they don’t go down.” football365.com

“Big Sam is not up to it. We haven’t played well in any game this season and most of our points have been won through grinding out a result and some luck. We weren’t even this bad under Roeder and Souness. Last season we couldn’t defend. Now we can’t attack either.” talkofthetyne.co.uk

“Liverpool v Fulham. Two observations. Firstly, when You’ll Never Walk Alone was sung a large number of Fulham fans stood up as if it was the national anthem. This was very foolish. Secondly, during the song Fulham fans were taking pictures of the Kop. You all looked like tourists.” fulhamfc.com

“Why do the BBC let Alan Green commentate on Man United games? If a commentator has problems with either the team or the manager then he shouldn’t be commentating on them. It’s not very professional in an apparently neutral, unbiased media organisation.” football365.com

“Franz Beckenbauer, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Boris Becker, Chancellor Kohl, Bernhard Langer, Michael Schumacher, Steffi Graf, Adolf Hitler. Your boys took one hell of a beating in Munich on Thursday night.” worlwidewanderers.co.uk
