We
all know he can be a bit of a prat at times
but we also can't deny he does come out with
some amusing stuff every now and then.
Reporter:
Welcome to Southampton Football Club. Do you
think you are the right man to turn things around?
Strachan:
No. I was asked if I thought I was the right
man for the job and I said, "No, I think
they should have got George Graham because I'm
useless."
Reporter:
Is that your best start to a season?
Strachan:
Well I've still got a job so it's far better
than the Coventry one, that's for sure.
Reporter:
Are you getting where you want to be with this
team?
Strachan:
We're not doing bad. What do you expect us to
be like? We were eighth in the league last year,
in the cup final and we got into Europe. I don't
know where you expect me to get to. Do you expect
us to win the Champions League?
Strachan:
I've
got more important things to think about. I've
got a yogurt to finish by today, the expiry
date is today. That can be my priority rather
than Agustin Delgado.
Reporter:
Gordon, you must be delighted with that result?
Strachan:
You're spot on! You can read me like a book.
Reporter:
This might sound like a daft question, but you'll
be happy to get your first win under your belt,
won't you?
Strachan:
You're right. It is a daft question. I'm not
even going to bother answering that one. It
is a daft question, you're spot on there.
Reporter:
Bang, there goes your unbeaten run. Can you
take it?
Strachan:
No, I'm just going to crumble like a wreck.
I'll go home, become an alcoholic and maybe
jump of a bridge. Umm, I think I can take it,
yeah.
Reporter:
There's no negative vibes or negative feelings
here?
Strachan:
Apart from yourself, we're all quite positive
round here. I'm going to whack you over the
head with a big stick, down negative man, down.
Reporter:
Where will
Marion Pahars fit into the team line-up?
Strachan:
Not telling you! It's a secret.
Reporter:
You don't take losing lightly, do you Gordon?
Strachan:
I don't take stupid comments lightly either.
Reporter:
So, Gordon, in what areas do you think Middlesbrough
were better than you today?
Strachan:
What areas? Mainly that big green one out there...
Strachan
was on Sky on Sunday morning. He saw John Terry's
goal and said he was impressed that Terry goes
up expecting to score. He contrasted this to
Claus Lundekvam the Saints central defender
who goes up for every dead ball and never ever
looks remotely like scoring. He said if there
was a dead body lying in the penalty area the
ball would hit it on the head several times
a season which he said is more than Lundekvam
can manage. He said referees should book Lundekvam
for timewasting every time he goes up for a
corner. When the co-commentator said if Lundekvam
was watching Strachan was only joking. Strachan
assured him he was deadly serious.
