Reporter: Gordon, Do you think James Beattie deserves to be in the England squad?
Strachan: I don't care, I'm Scottish.
Reporter: Gordon, if you were English?
Strachan: I'd top myself.

Reporter: Gordon, can we have a quick word please?
Strachan: Velocity.

Reporter: Welcome to Southampton Football Club. Do you think you are the right man to turn things around?
Strachan: No. I was asked if I thought I was the right man for the job and I said, "No, I think they should have got George Graham because I'm useless."

Upon being asked about Agustin Delgado's comments about a transfer request:
"I've got more important things to think about. I've got a yogurt to finish by today, the expiry date is today. That can be my priority rather than Agustin Delgado."

Reporter: This might sound like a daft question, but you'll be happy to get your first win under your belt, won't you?
Strachan: You're right. It is a daft question. I'm not even going to bother answering that one. It is a daft question, you're spot on there.

Reporter: Bang, there goes your unbeaten run. Can you take it?
Strachan: No, I'm just going to crumble like a wreck. I'll go home, become an alcoholic and maybe jump off a bridge. Umm, I think I can take it, yeah.

Reporter: There's no negative vibes or negative feelings here?
Strachan: Apart from yourself, we're all quite positive round here. I'm going to whack you over the head with a big stick. Down negative man, down!

Reporter: Where will Marion Pahars fit into the team line-up?
Strachan: Not telling you! It's a secret.

Reporter: You don't take losing lightly, do you Gordon?
Strachan: I don't take stupid comments lightly either.

Reporter: So, Gordon, in what areas do you think Middlesbrough were better than you today?
Strachan: What areas? Mainly that big green one out there....

Reporter: When it's 1-0 do you always feel there is a chance of getting back in it?
Strachan: Yes, and when it's 5-0 I always feel there's no chance of getting back in it.

Reporter: And the main is thing is to win tommorow?
Strachan: No, No. The main thing is to enjoy life and all the rest of it, and be healthy.

Strachan: We were just boring, to be honest with you; totally and utterly boring.
Reporter: And what do you put that down to?
Strachan: Boring football.

Lol. You gotta love Strachan sense of humor and wit... the bloke cracks me up!

I hate him, he thinks hes funny and laughs at his own jokes on tv! cant stand him but some of the things he says it makes him look a complete idior so i guess hes funny in a way

I liked him as a player for leeds and man utd , but think as a manager , hes not all there .

Reporter: When it's 1-0 do you always feel there is a chance of getting back in it?
Strachan: Yes, and when it's 5-0 I always feel there's no chance of getting back in it.
