TheRat posted:"When the seagulls follow the trawler, its because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea" I still like how every time that is quoted in some article or something the quoter inevitably goes "here is this incomprehensible comment from the mysterious Cantina, what an enigma that man is" as if it wasn't 100% obvious.

Gigi Becali the threadquote:"I will play only religious songs before the matches, because I'm the one who pays and this is the way I like it. I will take out the song We Will Rock You. Why play that song? So the players kill each other? Whoever wants to hear devil's music should not come to my stadium" - Steaua Bucharest owner Gigi Becali outlines his playlist reforms at the Stadion Ghencea. quote:Steaua Bucharest's Gigi Becali, April - denied charges of kidnapping three men who stole his Merc. Previous best Gigi moments: becomes billionaire; sets up far-right Christian Democrat party; pledges to "cure gays"; commissions a reproduction of the Last Supper with himself as Christ; calls a black TV presenter an "ape"; and sacks a Turkish coach for "being too Muslim". quote:Disciplinary news: Gigi Becali given a "formal warning" by a Romanian government agency for cancelling a transfer last year because he thought the player was gay ("I'd rather dissolve the club than allow a gay to join Steaua"). quote:Romania: Steaua owner Gigi Becali says League president Dumitru Dragomir "must be beaten" for "humiliating" Steaua during talks over a new TV deal, and for "corrupting football". Dragomir: "Only a moron could think like him. He's illiterate." In 2008 Becali said Dragomir called him "a retard": "In return, I called him a tramp. Then we had a fight." quote:Romania: Steaua owner Gigi Becali, asked on live TV how he feels about Rapid Bucharest president Dinu Gheorghe making public reference to Becali's first job as a shepherd. "What? He is a filthy jerk. A fat bum. I'll force this Gypsy back up his mother. I'm tired of him, all his irony and jokes. He forces me to lose control! He's way out of line." quote:Romania: Steaua owner Gigi Becali says holding a press conference last week to "clear the air" and say sorry to "everyone I offended this year" made him feel better. Making it on to Gigi's list: quote:Steaua owner Gigi Becali's week: a) says fans who stoned his Rolls Royce must be "jailed for 10 years … I will show no mercy, I won't back down"; and b) says outgoing FC Dinamo chairman Cristian Borcea's decision to divorce his wife and marry a model is "fine by God". "A man can choose. As God said: man is man and woman is whore." Becali says he'll be "spiritual advisor" at the wedding ("I have a connection with Christ") and will invite Shakira as a tribute to Borcea's trademark belly-dancing goal celebration. "With Gigi there, what a fairytale this will be." quote:Romania: Steaua owner Gigi Becali says his offer to pay Universitatea Craiova players €5k each if they beat Steaua's rivals for a European place was "totally legitimate sponsorship". "Nobody can say it's wrong. If anything bad happens to me after this I will take it to court. This is my money." quote:New from Gigi Becali, asked about the future of Steaua's general manager Mihai Stoica. "You really think he doesn't know what will happen to him, if we fail? God help him. Jihad will begin." quote:Romania: Press say Steaua owner Gigi Becali "caught fire" after Dinamo mocked his past as a shepherd by putting images of him surrounded by sheep on their big screen. "You know who owns Dinamo? A communist gypsy and a man who sleeps with men. Yes, sure, I was a shepherd, I milked the sheep, I like sheep, get over it. I'd rather milk sheep than do men." Shareholder Dragos Savulescu said Becali had apologised. "I'm totally heterosexual." quote:Romania: CFR Cluj owner Arpad Paszkany on Steaua owner Gigi Becali's claim that his club buys referees. "Total coward. He hides behind a microphone. Let's solve this like men, in a ring, with fists and feet, no rules. The ratings would be immense. I would take Becali. We'd see what a man he is."• Becali, live on GSP TV: "You want in the ring, let's get in the ring, bitch. I'll break your arms and legs. Let's take guns too. Let us shoot with guns." quote:Romania: Steaua's owner Gigi Becali on his plans for 2012: "This year, I intend to not argue with anyone. God will like that." Becali said he plans to buy "3,000-4,000 sheep" and watch them graze to help stay cool. "I am hypersensitive. The slightest thing can affect me. But sheep, they calm my soul." quote:Latest on Gigi Becali's new year pledge to "calm my soul ... I intend not to argue with anyone in 2012. God will like that." 1) Calls St-Etienne's manager a "beggar"; 2) Says referees are thieves and calls for strike action; 3) Offers Dinamo shareholder and godson Cristi Borcea "jihad" over a transfer dispute. "He wants jihad? He can have it. You'll see who wins. If there's jihad to be had, I have it." quote:Romania: Gigi Becali says he'll win in court next month after being sued for calling Dinamo co-owner Dragos Savulescu "a man who sleeps with men". Becali: "He wants €2.5m damages. What damages? I have 30 witnesses." Savulescu: "He's a thick, primitive brute. At first I was amused by this person. Now, I am not." quote:Romania: Steaua owner Gigi Becali, asked if he plans to back down after referee Cristian Balaj sued for libel, unhappy at being called "a thief who must be jailed". Becali: "Serious? He wants €500,000 damages? I'll give him 500 blows over the head with a stick, right in front of the judges." quote:Romania: Gigi Becali, celebrating St George's Day by "blessing all Romanians": "I'm glad God made me so loving. My ability to love is just like Messi's talent: I was born like this, full of love for all." Plus: "I ask only one thing of St George: that he gives me the strength to inspire a win against Rapid. Please, let me beat those gypsies." quote:Keeping a low profile over the summer: Steaua owner Gigi Becali – settling for a general warning to Romanians to stay away from Lady Gaga's tour. "She's a disciple of Satan. She probably doesn't even realise she's possessed. When we see her we must spit. That's what a Christian does. That's what I do." quote:Romania: Steaua owner Gigi Becali, denying racist leanings: "Nobody's nicer to gypsies than me. And I have nothing against blacks – sorry, 'African-Americans'. I just don't sign blacks because they're not suitable. They don't play well in our weather."

quote:I think that if Barcelona or Real Madrid goes to the Premier League then the first year of playing there, there is no chance of winning it. Yes, I think so, because if you go to Stoke, or other types of teams, then it will be really tough. It’s a debate – we could spend hours on it. If Manchester United or Chelsea go to Spain then the same. No chance to win the league. Pique talking about a what-if situation. He's right.

"We all know what the French are like and Platini as a Frenchman thinks he knows it all." "To those who did not believe: now suck it - I'm sorry ladies for my words - and keep on sucking it. I am either white or black. I will never be grey in my life. You treated me as you did. Now keep on sucking it. I am grateful to my players and to the Argentinian people. I thank no one but them. The rest, keep on sucking it." - Diego Maradona

Phillip Lahm and Thomas Muller on Muller breaking the record for being the youngest player to win 50 Champion's League Games: Lahm: "He owes us a round of drinks, because we played our part in it." Muller: "If we were to buy a round of drinks every time a Bayern player breaks a record, we'd rarely be sober."
