Forced pun: "A lot of people say that from the air the McAlpine Stadium looks like a banana. Will this be a skin for Derby County?" - Barry Davies, Match of the Day, at Huddersfield.

Luca laugh: "I've no problem with Roberto dyeing his hair blond - it made it easier for Bjarne to pick him out" - Gianluca Vialli, after Di Matteo headed home Goldbaek's cross to put Chelsea in the last eight.

Chants remark: "Fulham reject" - Fulham fans baiting Andy Cole, who Arsenal loaned to Craven Cottage in 1991.

Pompous, me? "Oh yes, the Kumars. In clothing, weren't they? At the cheaper end of the market, if I recall" - David Mellor, on the owners of Third Division leaders Cardiff City.
