The most memorable quotes in England's press last week (April 17-24)
"And do you believe that he could not have seen what was happening right at his feet? He claims he didn't see them. Frankly, I don't believe him. He's a real liar." "Arsenal" coach Arsene Wenger - who never misses anything - accused "Tottenham" coach Martin Jol of not noticing fallen "Gunners" players when his players scored the first goal in the London derby.
"Everyone saw what happened, and I think I handled it well. I doubt if he understands how strong I am. Otherwise, he wouldn't have jumped on me bare-handed." M.Jol's criticism - or not, depending on how you look at it - when A.Wenger tried to provoke him. How did M.Jol not catch this incident?
"We would have won this match if "Tottenham" hadn't stolen our goal. We will try to win the Champions League solely because of "Spurs"." A.Wenger would leap for joy if "Tottenham" secured fourth place, but he wouldn't be able to debut in the Champions League because of "Arsenal's" triumph in the tournament.
"Arsenal's" Champions League victory would be a nightmare. In fact, it would be extremely embarrassing if we finished fourth and didn't qualify for the Champions League, instead watching some liliputian team play in the tournament. And once again, M.Jol. "Liliputian team playing in this tournament"? Is he really not talking about Arsenal?
"They had no chance in the Premier League, but in the playoffs, they could accidentally lose to a fourth-division club. I don't believe that the stronger team won. In fact, I don't recall how many victories "Liverpool" have won." "Chelsea's" loss to "Liverpool" in the FA Cup semifinal stuck in Jose Mourinho's throat. Right?
"The Premier League titles and the big finals people talk about, but they didn't help me earn my lunch in restaurants; the victories did." "Reading" coach Steve Coppell on his team's win against "Stoke" with a score of 3-1.
She was fast and gracefully darted among the opponents. (Arsene Wenger about the squirrel that invaded the pitch during the first Champions League semi-final match between Arsenal and Villarreal)
