on the cricket theme...
"mind the windows tino"
Just googled cricket sledges due to your post above and came across this one that made me chuckle: Rod Marsh vs. Ian Botham Botham and Marsh were both great characters of the game who could be expected to provide a few fireworks. However, when Beefy marched to the crease during an Ashes clash, Marsh greeted him with the question: “How’s your wife and my kids?” Never one to miss an opportunity, Botham piped up: “The wife’s fine, but the kids are retarded.” Some other good ones here. |

A cheese may disappoint, it may be dull, it may be naive, it may be over-sophisticated.
Yet it remains cheese, milk's leap toward immortality.

Can't be bothered reading the whole thread, so this gem from Gazza may have been done already -
When asked how he thought a game would go "I don't make predictions, and I never will"

I love a good Vince Lombardi quote, two of my favourites are these:
"Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence."
"Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser."
Related is Marv Levy who used to send his Buffalo Bills out each week saying 'Where else would you rather be, than right here, right now!' The Bills were good when he said that...not sure it'd work for Bufallo now! |
