Иан Холлоуэй цитаты

„Я не был бы более счастливым, даже если был бы барсуком в начале брачного сезона.“

„Хорошо, что лайнсмен не стоял передо мной, а то, я бы хорошенько его пнул, чтобы он наконец проснулся.“

„Можно сказать, нападающие очень похожи на почтальонов: они должны успеть войти и выйти настолько быстро, чтобы собака не успела выбежать из будки.“

„Я обращаюсь к людям, которые нас освистывали — «буууу» вам!“

„Это здорово, когда у вас есть отличный пианист, но если некому вытащить рояль на сцену, то пианист будет просто стоять без своего чертового рояля, и ничего хорошего из этого не получится.“

„Я люблю Блэкпул. Мы очень похожи. Мы оба лучше смотримся в темноте.“

Иан Холлоуэй цитаты

„Все, кто приехал сегодня поддержать команду, отправьте мне письмо. Я хочу угостить вас выпивкой.“

„Во втором тайме был отрезок, который заставил меня вынуть сердце из груди и положить себе в рот.“

„Скажу на языке джентельмена. Если вы ищите себе девушку, вам нужно выбрать одну, иногда попадаются красивые, иногда — не очень. Наша сегодняшняя игра не сойдет за красивую пташку, но, как минимум, мы везем её домой на такси. Она далеко не самая красивая леди из тех, которые заглядывали к нам домой, но все равно очень приятная, поэтому спасибо большое, пора бы выпить по чашечке кофе.“

„У меня был верный план, который гарантировал бы нам победу над «Тоттенхэмом» сегодня, по крайней мере, я на это надеялся, пока игру не отменили. Я собирался припарковать свой автомобиль рядом с главным входом и ждать автобус с игроками «шпор.»“

“In the first-half we were like the Dog and Duck, in the second-half we were like Real Madrid. We can't go on like that. At full-time I was at them like an irritated Jack Russell.”

Затем, как только Гарет Бэйл выходит, я ускоряюсь и переезжаю его левую ногу. Имейте в виду, он настолько хорош, что даже этого могло бы быть мало, чтобы остановить его.

“If you're a burglar, it's no good poncing about outside somebody's house, looking good with your swag bag ready. Just get in there, burgle them and come out. I don't advocate that obviously, it's just an analogy.”

“In football you need to have everything in your cake mix to make the cake taste right. One little bit of ingredient that Tony uses in his cake gets talked about all the time is Rory’s throw. Call that cinnamon and he’s got a cinnamon flavoured cake. It’s not fair and it’s not right and it’s only a small part of what he does.”

“"To put it in gentleman's terms if you've been out for a night and you're looking for a young lady and you pull one, some weeks they're good looking and some weeks they're not the best. Our performance today would have been not the best looking bird but at least we got her in the taxi. She wasn't the best looking lady we ended up taking home but she was very pleasant and very nice, so thanks very much, let's have a coffee"

“Why haven't they got cameras? The officials can speak to each other easily enough now. Why aren't we using laptops that are linked up and can give a decision in five seconds? A chimpanzee could do it - with not much training. We might as well go back to being cavemen, grab our girl by the hair, drag her into the cave whether she wants to come in or not because we may as well live in that age. We've come forward, haven't we?”
