Not quite Colemanballs on a bus

Wonderfully strained turn of phrase overheard from a thirty-something bloke talking to his mobile. I think the subject of the conversation might have been Notts County football club. They certainly mentioned someone called Sven. Not quite Colemanballs on a bus, but getting there. "For every Jack Walker there are probably a hundred non-Jack-Walkers so the odds are not in favour of him being Jack Walker" "getting past the inheritance is the whole present priotity. You need a windfall to get out of debt. "It's football - this isn't rtrade union stuff - its what you do on a Saturday. Its not about putting bread and jam on the table" "... its what the Arabs are doing now - well nobody knows what they are doing but there is a striking similarity..." "...lets just say our confidence in banks is not what it was" "The Chairman of the club calls it 'Disneyland''" "Time will tell." "Cynicism rules" "There's nothing like a good sex scandal to attract media attention. Its like the cherry on top of a really passionate cake" "To change football culture you're up against a hundred years of bad behaviour on the part of managers, players, AND fans".
