Eloquence meets Irreverence

» Laughman - You never said...

...or wrote, a truer word. The only entertainment to be found in sports commentaries these days is the unintended kind. Actually, the players and managers are often more entertaining. A few beauties quoted in today's Irish Times:

"I've had an interest in racing all my life - or longer really" - Kevin Keegan

"Yes, I was surprised about George's (Graham)
sacking - but as I always say, nothing surprises me in football" - Les Ferdinand

"I was a bit anxious when I got to the stadium, but if I hadn't been anxious, I'd have been worried" - Leeds goalkeeper Paul Robinson

"Achilles tendon injuries are the worst you can have. They're a pain in the butt." - Dave O'Leary

"My parents have been there for me, ever since I was about seven." - David Beckham

This has to be one of the worst articles I've read in a long time. It is neither eloquent nor irrereverent and has almost nothing to do with soccer.

Has Mr. Martin ever listened to a decent broadcast, or can he distinguish between JP Delacamera and Martin Tyler?

I despair.

In response to message posted by spotski:

Congratulations, Mr. Walker. I'm sure Mr. Martin is suitably chastened, nay humbled, by your words of wisdom from on high. I know I am.

By the way, how's the weather up there? The air must be very rare indeed at your level of excellence.
