"I always say a squad is like a good meal. I'm not a great cook, but a good meal takes a wee bit of time. But also, to offer a good meal, you need good ingredients."
Can we please get Rodgers on Come Dine With Me? There's always one inexplicably wealthy white dude who reckons he's a modern day Descartes because he own's Stockport's third biggest carpet warehouse. He is always flabbergasted when he doesn't win.
Enjoy the trophy. I hope it makes you very happy. Dear lord, what a sad little life Manuel.
“It is great for the public here at Sunderland to see us. They must have been wondering what this team everyone is talking about are all about and now they have seen. We were wonderful."
Brendan Rodgers: The original footballing missionary. Let's just remember for a second that this quote came when his Swansealona team had just lost 2-0 to Sunderland, where Rodgers was presumably surprised to find running water.
“I believe a young player will run through a barbed wire fence for you. An older player looks for a hole in the fence.”
This pseudo intellectual mixing of metaphors is classic David Brent. It leaves so many questions. Do barbed wire fences have holes in them? Wouldn't jumping over the barbed wire be more courageous? Why doesn't Rodgers write for JOE?
"I think there’s three players who will let us down this year — the cause, the fight, everything – and I have written them down already in these three envelopes. Make sure you are not in one of the envelopes."
How can a player make sure he's not in the envelopes if its already written down? Will Brendan quickly change the envelopes on a weekly basis? Spoiler alert: the three names inside the envelopes were Glen Johnson, Theresa May, and Gunnersaurus.
"I’ve always said that you can live without water for many days, but you can’t live for a second without hope."
According to a study published in German research journal Archiv Fur Kriminologie, "it seems possible to survive without food and drink within a time span of 8 to 21 days", which I guess kind of proves Rodgers point. Fair play. 1-0 Brendan.
"I use a quote with the players,'Per aspera ad astra', which is Latin for ‘through adversity to the stars’."
Nobody who speaks Latin can be stupid.
