just wandered what is your favourite houllier saying i.e. the biggest load of bullsh#t which he uses in aftermatch interviews on a regular basis. you have to admit that it is laughable. the options include:

1) "we showed a lot of character".

2) "i cannot fault the effort of my players" (even when we'd just lost to portsmouth reserves).

3) "we had a lot of chances" (when really our finishing was cr#p and their keeper played well which is what he gets paid for).

4) "emile worked hard" (yeah and with what end product?).

5) "we were a little bit flat" (i.e. we're just not good enough).

if u think of any other classics let us know please! meanwhile vote now!

"This could be a blessing in disguise for us" - No, it was a s##t team and a sh##e manager.

"We may have just turned the corner"- Yeah and just walked into a f##king brick wall.

"Heskey didn't score when he had the chance, but at least he's getting into the positions to miss" - Yeah, unfortunately, in football, a goal only is scored if you kick the ball BETWEEN the posts, rather than mis-kicking it into the River Mersey.

"I'm staying as Liverpool manager" - Best news Manchester United fans have got all season.

"When we lose, the fans go onto phone-in shows on talk radio" - That's not entirely true, some of us say how cr#p you are on the Internet.

"Martin O'Neill will not be replacing me" - Yeah Gerrard, you just keep telling yourself that.

"Wayne Rooney is a fat c#nt and Everton are sh##e" - Oh wait, GH didn't say that, but it would be true if he did.

The Robbie Fowler "line snorting excuse" episode has to take the title!!!!

by **The Manhattan Project** » Thu Feb 26, 2004 7:54 pm

Yeah. He explained it that Robbie was trying to eat the grass

:laugh:

I think the winner has to be "there'll be a significant improvement when all our players are available". Narrowly pipping the use of the season long "injury crisis" as an excuse by not using it as an excuse

The " Blessing in Disguise " is my particular favourite as that has been used on several occasions.
Other notables include "quagmires " and countless referrals to the amount of shots on goals we have had.
Looking back though perhaps I am giving Houllier a disservice as who will ever forget his gem uttered following Robbie Fowler's infamous goal celebrations against the bitter blues in 1999...
and I quote " HE WAS PRETENDING TO GRAZE LIKE A SHEEP - IT'S A GOAL CELEBRATION HE PICKED UP FROM RIGOBERT SONG" !!!!!!!!!
Has anyone in the history of Liverpool fc uttered such bollox ?
That will take some beating but if anyone can remember any other gems then please let us know.

" We can take positives from this defeat"

From losing to ferking Portsmouth, or whoever else!

Nice one !
Spoken like a true French schoolteacher

Another gem I heard was when we were due to play Man City over xmas and about to face Robbie Fowler...
" Robbie was a great servant here and will always be welcome here. ......looking back Robbie should never have gone .....I never wanted him to leave! "
No of course not !

We will turn it around(used at least 32 times)

Or....

That defeat is a turning point to success(used about 9 times)

Welcome to Sofia

Just after we signed Nick Barnby and The Bluenoses were, quite rightly doing their pieces over another "traitor" Houllier came out with ;
"Are we talking about a change of religion here, or just a change of football club ?"
It was then that I realised that the man doesn't have a clue as to how deep football passions run on Merseyside and just what the teams mean to true supporters.
