HARRY'S HARANGUES



  1. Training ground harangue


  2. On the Polish defender signed on a free transfer from Nuremburg after Saints are relegated: "Tomasz Hajto, he passes to his team-mates, which is something we are trying to introduce this season."


  3. On desperately trying to sign players for Saints during the January transfer window: "I'm on the phone all day trying to get players in. If I don't get that disease they say mobiles give you, nobody will."


  4. On Samassi Abou's mystery ailment: "The lad went home to the Ivory Coast and got a bit of food poisoning. He must have eaten a dodgy missionary or something."


  5. On Samassi Abou: "He don't speak the English too good."


  6. On the ignoble art of simulation: "Abou retaliated but the fellow went down as if he was dead, and then started rolling around."


  7. On Paolo Di Canio's one-fingered gesture to rival Aston Villa fans: "From a still picture how does anybody know what Di Canio was doing? He might have been signalling to a team-mate about a tactic from a corner. He might have been gesturing a tactical change. He could have been showing that the score was 1-0."


  8. On his playing career: "Even when we had Moore, Hurst and Peters, West Ham's average finish was about 17th. Which just shows how crap the other eight of us were."


  9. On new signings: "With the foreigners it's more difficult. Most of them don't even bother with the golf, they don't want to go racing. They don't even drink."


  10. On his relationship as Portsmouth director of football with the club's then-manager: "I shall not be interfering with Graham Rix."


  11. On a spurned chance against Chelsea: "Joe Cole missed an open goal that my f*cking missus could have scored."


  12. On West Ham's UEFA Cup chances: "Where are we in relation to Europe? Not too far from Dover?"


  13. On a striker he subsequently signed who went on to score just two goals for West Ham: "I look at Arsenal's bench and they have Davor Suker sitting there. The man's a legend and would score goals by the bucketload whoever he played for."


  14. On a training-ground scrap between Alvin Martin and Matthew Rush: "I've seen better fights at a wedding."


  15. On tactics: "I sorted out the team formation last night lying in bed with the wife. When your husband's as ugly as me, you'd only want to talk football in bed."
