"A Priest on a mountain of sugar"

[fbloke]

That has to be the weirdest thing ever said by someone in football.

But there are also the stupid ones.

'I'd like to play for an Italian club, like Barcelona.' - Mark Draper

'Leeds is a great club and it's been my home for years, even though I live in Middlesbrough.' - Jonathan Woodgate

'Winning doesn't really matter as long as you win.' - Vinny Jones

'My parents have been there for me, ever since I was about 7.'
- David Beckham

'We must have had 99% of the game. It was the other three per cent that cost us the match.' - Ruud Gullit

'Of the nine red cards this season we probably deserved half of them.'
- Arsene Wenger

'Neil Sullivan has stopped absolutely everything have thrown at him...Wimbledon 1, Manchester United 1.' - Mike Ingham

A punter rang talksport a few years ago.

'Anti Niemi is probably the best keeper Hearts have ever had, and I can't believe he's not been called up for Scotland'.

Ray Houghton, (I think it was): 'Err, he's Finnish'/

'Finished?'

RH: 'No, he's from Finland'.

'Oh aye, I didny know'.

Classic.

The priest one isn't a stupid comment like the rest of them. It's a Spanish (?)saying. Priests dress in black so against sugar shouldn't be hard to see.
Bit like saying 'seeing a united fan against a mountain of Mancunians' - stands out like a sore thumb.


The rest are stupid people saying stupid things.

I said the first one was 'weird' not stupid ;-)

I was in New York a few years ago and out with some American friends. I used the expression "sick as a parrot" and this creased them up. So I told them how it was used in football and also taught them "Over the moon".

Non-football, but did you explain 'taters deep'?
