Thanjk you.

A great, great Manager. And I'll never forget him doing his little round and round jig when we we're scoring goals in Italia 90. A truly brilliant Football man.
Sad news, he looked like he'd aged so much recently when I watched that memorial match on TV last Sunday. You could tell watching him he didn't have a long time left and it all obviously meant a lot to him. Fantastic fella will be missed all over the football world.
Some Classic quotes
Sir Bobby Robson
* We didn’t underestimate them but they were a lot better than we thought - after England sneaked through against Cameroon in the 1990 World Cup.
* The first 90 minutes are the most important.
* We’re flying on the Concorde. That’ll shorten the distance – that’s self-explanatory.
* I would have given my right arm to be a pianist.
* I’m not going to look beyond the semi-final - but I would love to lead Newcastle out at the final.
* I do want to play the short ball and I do want to play the long ball. I think long and short balls is what football is all about.
* He’s very fast and if he gets a yard ahead of himself nobody will catch him.
* If we start counting our chickens before they hatch, they won’t lay any eggs in the basket.
* There will be a game where somebody scores more than Brazil and that might be the game they lose.
* Steve Hodge has been unfit for two weeks, well, no, for 14 days.
* Look at those olive trees - they’re two hundred years old – from before the time of Christ! - Sir Bobby illustrates how great life is in Barcelona.
* Titus looks like Tyson when he strips off in the dressing-room, except he doesn’t bite and has a great tackle – on Titus Bramble at Newcastle.
* I played cricket for my local village. It was 40 overs per side, and the team that had the most runs won. It was that sort of football.
* He’s got his legs back, of course, or his leg - he’s always had one but now he’s got two.
* He never fails to hit the target - but that was a miss.
* Sir Bobby to Bryan Robson: Good morning, Bobby. Bryan: You’re Bobby, I’m Bryan!
R.I.P You'll never walk alone.

Terry painfully has to recount to court the song from Liverpool fans about his "mum loving Scouse cock"
The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
