I have to write some quotes from Ron Atkinson, who used to be a soccer player, then became a coach, and now does TV work. Enjoy:
'I would not say that he (David Ginola) is one of the best left wingers in the Premiership, but there are none better.'
'I would also think that the replay showed it to be worse than it actually was.'
'If Glenn Hoddle said one word to his team at half time, it was concentration and focus.'
'They must go for it now as they have nothing to lose but the match.'
'Woodcock would have scored, but his shot was too perfect.'
'Well, either side could win it, or it could be a draw.'
'You half fancied that to go in as it was rising and dipping at the same time.'
'Now Manchester United are 2-1 down on aggregate, they are in a better position than when they started the game at 1-1.'
'Huddersfield will want to win this one.'
'There's a little triangle - five left-footed players.'
'For me their biggest threat is when they get into the attacking part of the field.'
'When Scholes gets it [tackling] wrong, they come in so late that they arrive yesterday'
'Ryan Giggs is running long up the backside'
'Liverpool will think we could have won this 2-2.
'I'm sure Bobby won't want them to be losing the match before winning it'
'Think of a number between 10 and 11'
'He had acres of time there'
'You can see the ball go past them, or the man, but you'll never see both man and ball go past at the same time. So if the ball goes past, the man won't, or if the man goes past they'll take the ball.'
-And another former player, who is now a coach, Kevin Keegan:
'They compare Steve McManaman to Steve Heighway and he's nothing like him, but I can see why - it's because he's a bit different'
'You can't do better than go away from home and get a draw...
'He can't speak Turkey, but you can tell he's delighted.'
'There'll be no siestas in Madrid tonight.'
'...using his strength. And that is his strength, his strength.'
'One of his strengths is not heading' (of course, one of Keggy's strengths is not talking)
'I'm not disappointed - just disappointed.'
'The tide is very much in our court now.
'Chile have three options - they could win or they could lose.'
'The good news for Nigeria is that they're two-nil down very early in the game'
'That decision, for me, was almost certainly definitely wrong.'
'In some ways, cramp is worse than having a broken leg.'
'The 33 or 34-year-olds will be 36 or 37 by the time the next World Cup comes around, if they're not careful.'
'It could be far worse for me if it was easy for me.'
'Argentina won't be at Euro 2000 because they're from South America.'
'They're the second best team in the world, and there's no higher praise than that.'
'You're not just getting international football, you're getting world football'
'Luis Figo is totally different to David Beckham, and vice versa'
'I want more from David Beckham. I want him to improve on perfection.'
'The Germans only have one player under 22, and he's 23'
'Shaun Wright-Phillips has got a big heart. It's as big as him, which isn't very big, but it's bigger'
'You need 88 points for the title and weve got 61 at present with 16 games to go, but if you set targets you limit yourself'
'I'll never play at Wembley again, unless I play at Wembley again'
'We managed to wrong a few rights.'
- I guess they headed the ball too many times...
