Julian Cook, professor of football at Reading University, said: "I'm not sure how this affects the title run-in but what we can say is that from now on when people think of Man United and a quivering, purple arsehole, it won't necessarily be Sir Alex Ferguson."

Budget Day 2010: Darling lines up a stamp duty bribe | Mail Online
"But the day did not exactly start auspiciously - with Mr Darling heckled by an angry building about tax just hours before he stepped up the dispatch box."

BBC Sport: Chris Charles: Quotes of the week
Quote of the year:

"...time running out quickly for Utrecht"
Australian commentator during PSV v Utrecht, near the end of the match. As far as I know time runs out at the same rate.

Great blog as always Chris!
The above quote got me thinking. As we all know clocks run at different speeds at different altitudes according to general relativity. Clocks tick faster at lower altitudes.

purvect describes this well (3rd post down)
Eindhoven and Utrecht are at different elevations so the clock will run at different rates at their respective grounds.
http://population.mongabay.com/population/netherlands/2756253/eindhoven
The average elevation of Eindhoven, Netherlands is 19 meters.
http://population.mongabay.com/population/netherlands/2745912/utrecht
The average elevation of Utrecht, Netherlands is 1 meters.
So according to general relativity a game at Eindhoven last longer than at Utrecht so the Utrecht players will have more urgency as they play more games at the higher rate.
But conversely if they play at Eindhoven with greater urgency they have more time (at least hypothetically) so time would run out slower...
But it does depend where the game was played which isn't mentioned.
I think I've got that right.

Gordon Strachen
Olly is top, but Strachen is a cracker:
"gordon strachan never fails to deliver.
best one from him tho was "Gordon, can we have a quick word please?" Strachan: "Velocity" [walks off]"

Quotes of the decade
Brilliant, love it.
I really like the sports quotes, and this one is class:
""After having studied the whole unsavoury incident on 43 occasions, including slow-motion replays, we have decided against implementing a rule that spectators should remain clothed at all times."
A statement from World Indoor Championship Bowls officials after the sport gained its first streaker in the shape of Tracy Sergeant."

UKIP = funny
Brilliant. Must admit i'm a fan of UKIP. Anyone who splits the Tory vote has at least done 1 good thing in their lives. Rarely more

she’s a wind-up merchant. Part of her success is that she riles the likes of us, so we can have a little pop back at her for winding us up. She certainly does that well, she makes steam come out of my ears.
As long as it’s light hearted and not too serious, there’s little wrong with it. It’s not serious, but shouldn’t be taken as serious.

But anyone that mental worries me, she should be getting the treatment she needs rather than more people agreeing with her, they only encourage her
