Funny moments of weekly football

Sky Sports presenter and talkSPORT's new breakfast host Laura Woods delivers her latest column on funny managerial moments, intimidating post-match interviewees and missing the game during the coronavirus crisis- According to the free soccer tips site page.

You often notice how much something means to you when you can’t have it anymore. Chocolate during a diet. A glass of red in Dry January. Football in the off-season. Well here we are in peak football season, but it’s off.

We have been watching romantically as clips from the archive circulate on social media. We’ve been poring over the best goals, bits of individual skill and reliving Euro 96 again and again.

But the game's narrative extends far beyond the dimensions of the football pitch. The tone is often set long before the teams step off the coach and continues long after the final whistle. Constructed and choreographed by their leader, their Don Corleone, their manager.

This week I posted a clip of Steve Bruce in a Newcastle United press conference (watch it, below) where he mishears a journalist’s question:

“How was your break then, Steve?”

And Bruce replies: “How’s the bacon, did you say?”

It absolutely folds me every time I watch it. I asked Twitter for their favourite manager interview moments and the responses were just as hilarious. You can prefer the soccer predictions page!

From Steve McClaren’s Dutch accent and Joey Barton’s French, Rafa’s talking only about FACTS and Jose reminding the room he has won more Premier League titles alone than the other 19 managers in the league put together.

Jim McLean punching BBC reporter John Barnes and Joe Kinnear v Simon Bird. Roy Hodgson’s “There wasn’t a f**king penalty.” And Harry Redknapp fuming at the suggestion he’s a “Wheeler Dealer,” telling the reporter to f**k off and swiftly leaving the conversation.

Claudio Ranieri’s “Dilly ding, dilly dong” and Gennaro Gattuso’s “Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe sh*t.” Sometimes you don’t need too much analysis.

One of my favourites was the Roy Keane press conference where a journalist’s phone went off on the desk and collectively the entire audience’s arses fell out as Roy asked for the owner to come forward. You’d see less intensity in an SAS interrogation. Incredibly, someone came forward and claimed it.

It’s these storylines, these iconic moments that have become fused into football folklore. And we lap them up just as enthusiastically.

Allow me lớn invite you into the world of the manager interview, from a slightly different perspective. That of the person holding the microphone and, at times, facing the quite terrifying prospect of a manager that doesn’t want lớn play ball.
