"Gentleman of the Premiership"

Who would it be?

Can be anybody - a player, a manager, even a ref - although I doubt it.

My choice would undoubtedly be Claudio Ranieri.
The man is excellent. I can't praise him enough for his approach to interviews and press conferences etc.
Quite possibly one of the nicest, and most polite managers in the game.
Gogogo.

Ranieri or Shearer.

Haha great quote on BBC just now

'and Arsenal are scraping it 4-1 but they will not be happy with that'

He never stops smiling. I think thats why everyone likes him to. Even when Chelski have just been beaten, he smiles in interviews.

I'm afraid I'll have to jump on the Claudio Ranieri bandwagon. The man IS an interview genius, and I love listening to his interpritations of English meanings.

What about...

"I want to beat my players with sticks."

The man is a genius.

That was the match I was at against Boro, the interview with him was on the screen in the executive lounge after the game. Whole place cracked up.

Excellent.
We should dedicate this thread to him and his classic quotes.

What about the classic line:

"The pitch is a b*tch!"

He meant "beach" because of all the sand on the pitch but his accent made it sound like "b*tch". That was sheer class.
