FROM WAR TO GOLF & ZIDANE!

MANAGERS are often 'over the moon' or 'sick as a parrot'. Here are some of their best offerings from The FLP's match reports from the season so far...

- John Lyons

"We went behind to a goal that doesn't belong in U12s football, let alone firstteam football at The Den" Then-Millwall boss Neil Harris laments Edo Kayembe's goal for Watford on the opening weekend.

"It was a scrappy game that resembled more of a rugby game at times. It amazes me how many wrestles and pulls of the shirts that the referee doesn't spot" - Frustrated then-Shrewsbury boss Paul Hurst after his side's 1-0 loss at Stevenage "There are no winners because I have kids who support them as well. Obviously today they are supporting Cheltenham, but it's tough for them and they are only young. Sometimes you have to explain, 'you have to stick with Daddy!"" - Cheltenham boss Michael Flynn after his side's 3-2 victory against former club Newport.

"If you'd have offered us this result at the start of the day we'd have been chewing your arm off for it" - Gillingham boss Mark. Bonner likes the taste of his team's 4-1 home win against Carlisle.

"It's a relief and I've said it in years gone by, but this year might be the year I have a heart attack if we're going to play like that" - Then-Coventry boss Mark Robins after his side's last-gasp 3-2 win against Oxford.

"Football is a cruel game. If anyone was trying to show a clip of what a cruel game looks like, it's that" Then-Oxford boss Des Buckingham on that defeat to the Sky Blues.

"The fourth goal was a hundred per cent avoidable. If I said it was Sunday league, that would be disrespectful to Sunday league" Then-Shrewsbury manager Paul Hurst after his side's 4-1 home humbling by Peterborough.

"I can't talk about the penalty decision at the end. I must have been in a different league referees' meeting to everyone else" Perplexed then-Burton boss Mark Robinson after Lee Gregory stuck away a 97th minute spotkick awarded for holding to earn Mansfield a 3-3 draw.
