SWEDISH BOND & SWINDON MESSI!

"I'd already seen the somersault during a dance-off Neo (Eccleston) had with Katia (Koayate) in training on Friday. I told him that I'd rather see it after he's scored a goal - and he's gone and done that the next day"

IN THE second part of our festive offering, we pick out more of the best quotes from The FLP's match reports from the first half of the season...

"Fortunately, the big Serbian geezer comes on and rescues a point for us" Then-Millwall boss Neil Harris hails Mihailo Ivanovic after his 85th-minute equaliser against Derby.

"We lost a few balls while he was practising, but we don't mind him missing them in training if he delivers that" Stevenage boss Alex Revell after Jake Young's spectacular free-kick winner at Mansfield.

"I am disappointed in myself, I'm disappointed in the players and I'm disappointed for the supporters, because they've had four years of this level of performance" - Colchester boss Danny Cowley is down in the dumps after a 2-1 home loss against Cheltenham.

"They came with a gameplan which was to survive.

It was a boxing match really and it was always going to go on to the 10th round or the 11th. You jab your way and jab your way and beat a team up and go to the head and hope you knock them out late on, but it just didn't materialise for us today" - Burnley boss Scott Parker gets his boxing analogies in after a goalless home draw against strugglers QPR.

"It's a difficult situation because there doesn't seem to be a huge amount wrong, but there's a lot wrong at the same time if that makes sense" Swansea boss Luke Williams tries to work things out after his side's goal drought continued with a 1-0 home loss against Millwall.

"Yeah, look, it's on me, 2-0 up away from home and we have lost the game. I feel as bad as I have ever felt in football right now. It's difficult to come out now and speak" - Dejected Luton boss Rob Edwards after his side's painful 3-2 defeat at Coventry.
