On the pull

To put it in gentlemen’s terms. If you’ve been for a night out and you’re looking for a young lady and you pull one, you’ve done what you set out to do. We didn’t look our best today, but we pulled. Some weeks the lady is good looking and some weeks she’s not. Our performance today would have been not the best-looking bird, but at least we got her in the taxi. She may not have been the best-looking lady we ended up taking home, but it was still very pleasant and very nice, so thanks very much and let’s have coffee.

Chuffed

I couldn’t be more chuffed if I were a badger at the start of the mating season.

Woof

Every dog has its day and today is woof day! Today I just want to bark.

Jack Russell

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

Just an analogy?

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

Tea bag

We’re like a bad tea-bag – we never stay in the cup that long.

Heart on sleeve

There was a time in the second half when I took my heart off my sleeve and put it in my mouth.

Blackpool

I love Blackpool. We’re very similar. We both look better in the dark!

No goals

I watched Arsenal in the Champions League the other week, playing some of the best football I’ve ever seen and yet they couldn’t have scored in a brothel with two grand in their pockets.

Not an iceberg

Apparently it’s my fault that the Titanic sank.
