Quotes

“Reporter: Bang, there goes your unbeaten run. Can you take it?Strachan: No, I’m going to crumble like a wreck. I’ll go home, become an alcoholic and maybe jump off a bridge. Umm, I think I can take it, yeah.”
“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."”
“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: 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: So, Gordon, in what areas do you think Middlesbrough were better than you today?Strachan: What areas? Mainly that big green one out there...”
“Reporter: Gordon, Do you think James Beattie deserves to be in the England squad?Strachan: I don't care, I'm Scottish.”
