In a website I used to frequent, they had a nice tradition which consisted in selecting a statement every week as the best. It was usually a funny sentence, banter, tongue-on-cheek, but it could also be a serious, knoweledgeable, deep one. Also, the sentence can be about any topic or part of the forum. No need to be about football. The selected quote was then published on a side column on the homepage. We could put the quote under the "latest topics" on the right column.

Here is how we could do it: Everyone posts good quotes in this thread (individually, one post - one quote) and people upvote the ones they like. At the end of the week, the quote with the most upvotes is selected as the best quote of the week and put on the side column.

We should also give a fancy name to the quote of the week. I propose the "Zlatanest statement of the week", for Zlatan's known outspoken and tongue in cheek statements, but other name proposals are welcome.

I start this with a first proposal as quote of the week:

BarrileteCosmico wrote:Only top manager able to keep his team in the Top 4. In a season where United, Chelsea, Liverpool and (soon) City are all struggling to make Europe with the power wave of Leicester, Spurs and West Ham, Arsene has kept his ship steady and achieved his goals comfortably. Underrated this season.

halamadrid2 wrote:Pepe is the best defender in the world. Pique is a calamity waiting to happen. Up there with Ramos as the most overrated CB i have ever witnessed

Then this happened in the last match:

@free_cat:

When I read your proposal, exactly that was the quote that first came to my mind, too XD

Good 1st choice, i think Wenger is the most prone to be subject to this kind of activities.

Can you propose your own quote?

Yes, you can IMO.

@RWO: can you run this to the admins and see if they agree with the idea and will put the weekly quote at the side column, below the "latest topics", with the title: Zlatanest statement of the week.

I think Collblancs answer is equally worth of being proposed for sentence of the week.

@free_cat

You can be sure that the rest of the gang will read this, too Currently we are pondering possibilities how to improve the forum visibility, and this here is a pretty good idea for sure. ^^

RG gets cocky:

Please, someone upvote this for me.

Who says we can have only one quote? One could maybe use a Top 3, too

Nice thread Free

Great idea.

Might as well use the quotes for the social media surge we're going to embark for the purpose of promoting the forum.

In response to Barça inviting some kids to training.

New addition on Pep being a fraud:

RealGunner wrote:Can't wait till pep tries his shitty-shatta football in the PL and Alonso gets two footed by James Morrison while trying to long pass WBA to death and referee plays on in the spirit of banter.

First Zlatanest statement of the week goes to Barriletecosmico.

Keep 'em coming. (although only I posted sentences so far )

First proposal for this week:

Great Leader Sprucenuce wrote:There's been plenty of times where Muller plays like crap and even misses open goals, makes crap passes and miscontrols in the box where others in the team wouldn't have done.

But sure he's the best because he's extremely intelligent and works hard

Muller is one of the biggest myths in football tbh, also if you are going to state importance which is the only argument you have with Muller tbh then Lewandowski wins every single day of the week and twice on Sunday seeing as they literally have no one to replace him and he's a perfect CF for their style of play.

More from GLS

Great Leader Sprucenuce wrote:Couldn't think of a more apt description of Pardew if i tried tbh.

It's up there with describing Kanye West as someone who would " sing a lullaby to his daughter and get mad at her for falling asleep during the performance ".

Second Zlatanest statement of the week.

Admins, will you put them on the side of the web? It will make this thread pick up more steam IMO.

I propose this han's phylosophical comment as zlatanest statement:

I'm thinking that every day is a gift from God.

I'm not worried about what comes, when just to be alive and breathing in CL is unexpected, wondrously strange and beautiful.

I'll cherish every second like the manifestation on unreality that it is.
