==========================================
.
HARRY'S FINEST
.
"I don't know where Zajec is now. As long as he doesn't turn up here, I don't care. If he does, then I'll be gone again!"
.
"Kanu has been fantastic. My God, we've even got him heading the ball. Well, it's not really heading, more like hitting him on the head!" Commenting on the top goal scorer Kanu.
.
"I left a couple of my foreigners out last week and they started talking in "foreign". I knew what they were saying: "Blah, blah, blah, le b****** manager, f****** useless b******!"
.
"Genius is never consistent, is it? Mediocrity is consistent, but genius cannot be consistent." Commenting on Kanu after his two goals in the 4-0 demolition of Middlesbrough.
.
"I sorted out the team formation last night lying in bed with the wife. When your husband's as ugly as me, you'd only want to talk football in bed"
.
"Where are we in relation to Europe? Not too far from Dover"
.
"Samassi Abou don't speak the English too good."
.
"I will always do things my way, otherwise it's not worth doing the job."
.
"The more these things drag on the more difficult it gets, but I'm not going to rush in and get a load of rubbish like they did here last year." Commenting on transfer frustration and the dealings of his predecessor Alain Perrin.
.
"Even when they had Moore, Hurst and Peters, West Ham's average finish was about 17th, which just shows how crap the other 8 of us were"
.
Commenting on Julian Dicks' comeback from career threatening injury : "They said he would never play again, but he's a freak."
.
"Mansfield gave us one hell of a game. I feared extra-time but we are still on the march, still unbeaten, and I'm still a brilliant manager!" Reaction to the League Cup game against Mansfield.
.
"With the foreign players it's more difficult. Most of them don't even bother with the golf, they don't want to go racing. They don't even drink".
.
"After two defeats we needed to win, but we're only Portsmouth after all." Harry's reaction to Pompey's 2-0 win over West Ham
