Happy New Year everybody. Having done the Quotes of the Year and Quotes of the Decade parts one and two in the past week, I was tempted to go all Steve Redgrave on you and suggest that if anyone saw me near a quote again, they had permission to shoot me.

But of course I wouldn't do that - the new year is upon us and brings with it stacks more quotes, chants and stadium announcements to share with you. The inbox has been stacking up over the festive period so some of the titbits you are about to read may be more than a week old, but they deserve an airing so I'm going to print them anyway.

And as a special Brucie bonus, there's a little section for some of the quotes you informed me I had missed from the decade collection. If you didn't catch them (where were you?) click here for part one and here for part two. Oh, and here for the Quotes of the Year.

The Noughties are nearly behind us and what better way to bring the decade to a close than by bringing you the best of the sporting quotes from the last five years.

If you missed part one (2000-2004), fear not - just click here to see it in all its glory and to see the best offerings from 2009, click here.

If part one was all about the late, great Sir Bobby Robson, in part two his protege, Jose Mourinho, comes into his own. I could have filled the whole blog with the Special One's pearls of wisdom but in order to accomodate everyone else, I've picked out three of his best.

All that remains is for me to wish you all a Happy New Year and as usual, add your quotes below, plus any ideas about what we're going to call the next decade - the Tens, Teens?

The quotes of the decade are up - click here for part one and here for part two - but there were just so many gems this year, it seemed rude not to have a separate blog for 2009.

So here it is in all its glory - the sportsmen and women, managers and even the odd rock star, reminding us that even for long-suffering football fans like myself, sport can be fun.

As ever, please feel free to add any quotes we may have missed - or any from the Christmas period we could use next week. And a Happy New Year to you all.
