It's time to look back on a year of who said what and about who as FanHouse picks out some of the top Premier League quotes of 2010. From Ray Wilkins failing to spot the blindingly obvious, to Carlos Tevez claiming an ex-team-mate sucks socks, it's been anything but boring:
"My celebration was directed at Gary Neville. He acted like a complete sock-sucker [boot-licker] when he said I wasn't worth £25 million, just to suck up to the manager. I don't know what the hell that idiot is talking about me for. I never said anything about him," Tevez, January.
The Manchester City forward does away with the dead-bat approach to interviews after the all-Manchester Carling Cup semi-final.
"I've spoken to England concerning the referee's mistakes. I have expressed to them apologies and I understand they are not happy and that people are criticising. We will naturally take on board the discussion on technology," Sepp Blatter, June.
Not for the only time this year was the Fifa president compelled to apologise to England, on this occasion over
Frank Lampard's 'ghost' goal in the abject 4-1 World Cup defeat by Germany.
"It's unlikely. I'm a football player, not a minstrel or a clown," Andrey Arshavin, January.
The Arsenal player shows off his stunning sense of humour when asked in a question and answer session if he'd be happy to jump out of a supporter's birthday cake.
"That result was very, very painful. Anything that could have gone wrong did," Steve Bruce, October.
The Sunderland manager, who comes from proud Geordie stock, reflects on the humiliating 5-1 defeat at their North-East rivals Newcastle. He's still getting stick about it now.
"I wish I had gone. I did feel as though I had made the wrong decision. I 'd only been given a couple hours, so it was a bit of a rush job, but the World Cup is the biggest tournament you can be involved in. There was a touch of regret but it doesn't matter now. It's gone," Paul Scholes, August.
The Manchester United midfielder expresses regret at turning down Fabio Capello's 11th hour World Cup plea.
Scholsey, mate, you were much, much better off out of it.
