2006 was a colorful year for football and as always, there was no shortage of loud statements. We propose to have some fun by reading the most interesting quotes from the ending year from the mouths of football players in England and other countries.
In England, discrimination against women thrives
"She should not be here. I know it sounds discriminatory, but I discriminate against women. This is not park football, so what is a woman doing here? If you start inviting women, you will have big problems. This is only done to please politically correct idiots." - "Luton" coach Mike Newell expressed anger towards assistant referee Amy Rayner after the failure against "Q.P.R" with a score of 2-3.
"If we are not careful, we will soon start playing netball (a game similar to basketball for women - ed.) with high heels and skirts. It's so annoying." - "Birmingham" coach Steve Bruce expressed his dissatisfaction with Howard Webb's refereeing in the League Cup match against "Liverpool".
"Next time I guess I'll have to learn how to act, but I'm not a woman." - Frenchman Thierry Henry expressed anger towards "Barcelona" and the referee for not noticing faults after "Arsenal's" defeat in the Champions League final.
Neil Warnock and Jose Mourinho's show
"He's almost a Yorkshireman, just with a Portuguese accent." - Temperamental "Sheffield United" manager Neil Warnock about his colleague from Portugal's "Chelsea" club, Jose Mourinho.
"My wife will be happy when Mourinho comes to 'Bramall Lane', he looks like a good pig, doesn't he?" - N. Warnock, after promoting to the Premier League, is preparing for the match against "Chelsea".
"Around us there are not many restaurants, so we called the local pub 'Spaniel' - but they were already booked. So we put the kids in the car and drove to the kebab shop... Sharon asked 'Do you think Mourinho is standing in the kebab shop now?' 'Well, I eat a "doner" kebab, so he probably ordered a "shish" kebab,' - Warnock kept a typical English position once again talking about his team's future in the Premier League.
