Football lines so wrong they still piss you off.

Rafa on Mark Gonzales, when the Home Office initially denied him a work permit:

"Only if you know nothing about football can you say that he is not good enough."
 
Hodgson on Poulsen

"It was a very simple decision when I heard he might be available"
 
Budgie
There aren't many quality left-backs around in the world, never mind in England - so to find an English one who can go straight into the team without any adjustment problems is a big advantage. He is a player I know, a player I have worked with and he knows the way we try to play and the things we try to do. That's another little advantage, but the main reason for bringing him here is because we think he's a good player and he's the right man for the job.

Anything that involves the phrase "they've got history on their side".
 
'That was as good as we have played all season, and I have no qualms with the performance whatsoever. I only hope fair-minded people will see it the same way'.

Hodgson after a 2 nil Defeat to local rivals Everton
 
“To get a result here would have been Utopia, but I can only analyse the performance. There is no point trying to analyse dreams.”

Roy Hodgson, again after that 2-0 defeat to Everton.
 
Wenger after we won the CL in May 2005:

"The European Cup has been a complete cup competition - like Millwall reaching the FA Cup final - and maybe we will have Coventry in next year's final," he said. "It has convinced me even more that you cannot make a priority of the Champions League. It has to be the Premiership. "In the championship you have to be consistent and that is a real reflection of your consistency in a season."

Comparing our run in the CL to Millwall getting to the FA Cup Final. Roll on one year to May 2006, Arsenal reach the CL Final after prioritising it in their final games - and lose.
