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 Coventry 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)
Strachan: 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!
some classics in there :lol:
