"Revenge will be a dish best eaten cold." Clue: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/leeds_united/6610175.stm
"Little clubs are always little clubs and big clubs are always big clubs." And they wonder why people hate them.
"Revenge is a dish best served cold" is the usual one Meaning to exact revenge when the event/reason etc has been forgotten by the perpetrator. e.g. you attack your teacher with an axe, 20 years after she gave you an E in needlecraft. But Bates is a lovely person anyway.
I like this bit Bates told the Yorkshire Post: "Dennis has done a much better job than many people realise. "We were in a much worse position when Dennis came in than people know about. "Some of the difficulties he inherited cannot be made public but there were real problems in the dressing room. The playing side was in complete disarray." They were in COMPETE DISARRAY, what the bloody hell does he call it now then.
RE: According to Sky today except Blackwell took them to the playoffs last season and Wise took them down. Great comparison!!
