Here's your starter.

Is this the place to highlight this awful piece of drivel:
"There is as much science as art with Arsenal, and as much art as science." (ITV Commentator)

Couldn't have been Tyldsley. No "thatnight in Barcelona/Istanbul" mention.
Oh, as an aside, anyone else see Del Piero's goal for Juventus against Real Madrid? Flippin' 'eck, it were good.

How about ''you know what to expect when you come to Bolton''
Just about any pr*ck you can think of. One phrase guaranteed to have me muting the rest of said pr*cks interview.

Not at all pointless, but one I'd like to highlight:
Bolton have gained more points (26), and scored more goals (24) against Tottenham than against any other club in the Premier League. - BBC Website
