Football gifts

Some footballers talking mince ...

Charlie Nicholas (for a change): I've no idea what Arsene Wenger paid for him. It was four million plus." (The cartoon, left, is good though)
Matt Le Tissier: "I know medicals are definitely a lot more thorough than they were in the past. And I don't even know what they were like in the past."

Simon Davies after Roy Hodgson is appointed Fulham manager: "With a new manager coming in we've got to draw a line behind what's happened before."

And finally, Phil Thompson: "Reading's six-foot-two lads are five foot eleven this year."
