some classic strachan quotes:
too many classics, if only the Ginger oompa loompa could produce a back
four like he does quotes...
>>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: Are you getting where you want to be with this team?
>>Strachan: We're not doing bad. What do you expect us to be like? We
were eighth in the league last year, in the cup final and we got into
Europe. I don't know where you expect me to get to. Do you expect us to win the Champions League?
>>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
yoghurt 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: There's no negative vibes or negative feelings here?
>>Strachan: Apart from yourself, we're all quite positive roundhere. 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: "What is your impression of Jermaine Pennant?"
>>Strachan: "I don't do impressions"
>>Reporter: Did you enjoy that Gordon?
>>Strachan: Aye, I did - so much so that I'm going home to watch it on
ceefax (walks off)
>>The world looks a totally different place after two wins. I can even
enjoy watching Blind Date or laugh at Noel's House Party.
>>Reporter: So Gordon, any changes then ?
>>Strachan: Naw, still 5ft 6, ginger hair, and a big nose!
>>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!
