Gerard Houllier has won December's 'Carling Comedy Manager of the Month' award with some tremendous displays.
* “I don't want to comment on the incident involving Chris, but I'm pleased he did not have his leg broken. If he had not lifted his leg up he could have had his leg broken” - Gerard Houllier speaks out against Sheff United’s Michael Brown. Yes, this is the same Gerard Houllier who had argued 24 hours earlier, when Steve Gerrard was charged with violent conduct by the FA, that: “Our player had no intention of hurting anybody” adding as proof, “After the Everton incident the Everton player continued playing.” Funny, I remember hearing Naysmith’s scream about the din of the Anfield crowd, and him receiving treatment as a melee broke out around him. And Kirkland continuing to play on Wednesday - which, apparently, makes the challenge all right.
* “You have to take into consideration the pitch was awful to play on. Sometimes we tried to play, but it was difficult. Maybe we should have been more direct, but the pitch definitely worked in Sheffield United's favour” - Houllier’s first excuse after the 2-1 defeat in the Worthington Cup against Sheffield United.
* “We were expecting a physical challenge, but it was more than that at times” - Gerard Houllier’s second excuse after the 2-1 defeat in the Worthington Cup against Sheffield United.
* "I would agree. I thought Liverpool were a little over-physical if I'm honest. I thought they could have had a couple more bookings, but I understand that because they are fighting for their lives”- Neil Warnock’s quite brilliant response after being asked if he agreed with Houllier's view that the tie was overly physical.
* “I am looking forward to next year's Olympics in Athens to see if they include the world's fastest growing sport - radio phone-ins. I prefer to listen to the real fans, the 5,000 who went to Aston Villa before Christmas and stood by us” - Gerard Houllier with an early contender for most ignorant comment of the year.
* “We are struggling, I must admit that” - Gerard Houllier comes clean after not winning a Premiership game since the second day of November.
"At the AGM it was clear that the shareholders and the board knew that it wasn't a crisis, it's just a fine margin between winning and losing...At some stage, the club will win the title and win the Champions League under me. That's for sure” - Gerard Houllier remains defiant in Saturday’s Daily Telegraph. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Loser!
