The future ain't what it used to be.

Yogi Berra - US baseball player, coach, & manager (1925 - )

HAHA! I read one in sports illustrated today that said "you only get a once in a lifetime oppurtunity so many times."

[CoachAlan]

So many great Yogi quotes. One of the ones I like to borrow is, "Nobody goes there any more. It's too crowded."

[Mephisto2]

Or how about "This is like deja vu all over again"

And "If the fans don't wanna come out to the ballpark, no one can stop 'em."


Funny man.

The UK version is Ian Holloway, manager of soccer club Queens Park Rangers, I'll have to try and find some of his greatest quotes.

ah, here we go!

"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, you've done what you set out to do. We didn't look our best today but we've pulled.

Some weeks the lady is good looking and some weeks they're 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"

QPR boss Ian Holloway comes up with the quote of the century to describe his team's lacklustre performance against Chesterfield.


"Most of our fans get behind us and are fantastic. But those who don't should shut the hell up or they can come round to my house and I will fight them"

QPR boss Ian Holloway reacts to booing in the game with Port Vale.


"You never count your chickens before they hatch. I used to keep parakeets and I never counted every egg thinking I would get all eight birds. You just hoped they came out of the nest box looking all right. I'm like a swan at the moment. I look fine on top of the water but under the water my little legs are going mad."
