"Kazim-Richards - there's only one. You type it into Google and nothing else comes up. My first names were meant to be Colin Kazim but the registry office got it wrong" - Sheffield United's Colin Kazim-Richards comes to the nation's attention.
"His head has gone, he's going to miss this" - ManYoo captain Gary Neville to Neil Lennon, according to Lennon, just before Louis Saha missed a penalty in the Champions League.
"One thing I do know about the new chairman is he's a biscuit baron! When I heard that I was overjoyed and thought 'Yes! Bourbons all round!' I have got a bit of a superstition about eating biscuits the night before a game. I think it must have started at away games. In the hotels they always have those little packets of biscuits and I started having a couple before a game. I always seemed to do well so I carried it on, it stuck. When I come back from my injury maybe the chairman will be able to sort me out with a supply - he could be the perfect chairman. I won't get a goal bonus, I can get a biscuit bonus" - Dean Ashton.
"It's Jose, he's panicking already" - Sir Alex Ferguson's response to his phone ringing in a press conference. In December.
"The ever-smiling Steve "Magnificent" McClaren is without doubt the most two-faced and false person that I have ever had the misfortune to meet in football, who should first spend his time actually trying to understand his own players' mentality instead of wasting so much time trying to understand the English press. I was absolutely shocked and totally disgusted by the way he treated me. Only in England could such a man with such obvious and limited abilities be made national coach" - Massimo Maccarone makes more of an impact on his departure from these shores than he ever did during his playing career at Boro.
"I will reiterate to you all that there is no price on Matthew Upson. I have had the complete backing of the board over my stance on things because of the situation we find ourselves in. I couldn't give a s*** if he I have got an unhappy player or not. He is not going, full stop. Whether it is £8million, £9million, £10million, it wouldn't matter. Of course, if someone says £20million you can't say no but that is hypothetical and I can't see anyone putting in that sort of bid. At the moment it is £8million, £9million, £10million we are talking about and the answer is 'not for sale'. My message is clear to Alan Curbishley. It would take crazy money and that's not £8million, £10 million - and the board are 100% behind me" - Steve Bruce, speaking on January 26, paves the way for Upson's £6m departure five days later.
"Above the bed, he's even hung a six-foot-wide blow-up photograph of my breasts!" -'Glamour model' Nicola T on boyfriend Bobby Zamora's idea of home improvement.
"I could see myself as an actor. Playing the role of a comedian is more difficult but I might be capable of doing anything" - Cristiano Ronaldo plans a new career.
Yes. What else can you call them?" - Rafa calms things down when asked if he'd really just called Everton a small club.
"We've taken four points off Liverpool this season, so we must be doing something right with £100million spending difference between the teams" - David Moyes, manager of little old Everton.
"I have disconnected myself from West Ham and signed a contract with Liverpool. I can consider myself a Red Devil" - Javier Mascherano says hello to the scousers, and the quotes column.
"I watched a bit of the England game then turned over and watched a Victoria Beckham documentary instead" - Unlike Reading's Steve Coppell.
