It's easy enough finding it without linking to it...

:eek:

DanH84 · 3 Oct 2008 at 09:51

woah. better edit out the direct link mate due to the swearies. still, woah.

TomHark · 3 Oct 2008 at 10:38

That's awesome, especially the last line. He's a real life Mike Bassett

TripleT · 3 Oct 2008 at 10:42

Haha

Ex-RoNiN · 3 Oct 2008 at 10:46

Woah

Good first week in the office then?

[DOD]Asprilla · 3 Oct 2008 at 11:05

Somewhere in Newcastle there is a Press Officer sitting under the desk, crying and rocking gently backwards and forwards.

Joe Kinnear: Which one is Simon Bird [Daily Mirror's north-east football writer]?

Simon Bird: Me.

JK: You're a ****

Ha ha, absolute quality

Oops!

Still, as we know, swearing is both clever and funny.

Good mates with Arsene, they live near each other, and JK used to head down to London Colney to watch training.

They really strike me as the least likely of friends

Grrrrr · 3 Oct 2008 at 12:37

Haha that's awesome to listen to *beep* *beep* *beep* etc

But i reckon this is probably a planned and cleverly thought out ploy. Can you think of a better to take the pressure off your players?

cheets64 · 3 Oct 2008 at 12:39

How is someone like that in charged of multi million pound players.

Image him and Barton having a war of words.

cheets64 · 3 Oct 2008 at 14:49

Just heard it "Newcastle Press Officer: What has been said in here is off the record and doesn't go outside. "

hehe

Right idea, but won't have any effect on B-grade "journalists". He has just given them a life time worth of material in a few minutes!

B@Th*nG · 3 Oct 2008 at 16:31

good on him!

LOL

That's the best start to a press-confernce i've every heard.

edit: JM's still as entertaining as ever.

Jose Mourinho offered to let a lively Italian reporter the chance to select the Inter team for their Champions League game against Werder Bremen on Wednesday.

"I would if you gave me part of the nine million euros you earn," said the scribe. Mourinho shot back: "It's not nine, it's 11 and with sponsors it comes to 14." (Daily Mirror)

He's the type of manager to throw a pair of boots in your face. Bloody great.
