Sorry, I assume this thread must exist somewhere, but I can't find it. I just read Craig Bellamy's comments on Graeme Souness and this reads like one of those typical great soccer quotes like, "We'll need at least one goal to win." or "The scoreline today is 1-1, a complete reversal of their previous encounter." Bellamy said, "I was in shock. I just thought: Not only has he gone behind my back, in front of my face, he's lying." Craig Bellamy will soon, apparently, be opening a boutique, Brian. Note to mods: if this thread does exist someplace else please roll it into that thread.
