Victor Moses: the new Lionel Messi?

This week we've got Dereck Chisora winding up pretty much everyone, Harry Redknapp moaning about the difficulty of international management, and Victor Moses being compared to Lionel Messi

"I swear to God, David, I am going to shoot you."
Chisora had this message for David Haye after they brawled at a press conference in Munich

"You are f***** now Dereck, you are really f***** now."
To be honest, everyone had it in for Chisora over the weekend: this was Vitali Klitschko prior to their fight

"If Sir Alex struggled, it has got to be tough, hasn't it?. Mind you, it was Scotland!"
With that attitude, no wonder Alan Hutton never got much of a look in at Tottenham under Redknapp

"The way Jon swivelled in his chair, it was like he was Stevie Wonder for a minute."
Rashad Evans didn't know where to look when Jon Jones burst into 'Superstition'

"You do not see many players like him. Charles N'Zogbia is one, Messi is another."
Wigan boss Roberto Martinez became the first man to use the names Charles N'Zogbia and Messi in the same sentence when describing Moses

"No way I was going to pull out - I'd go out there with one arm, one leg and one eye."
Following a win over Ken Doherty at the Welsh Open, Mark Allen showed the fighting spirit that snooker players are famed for. His injury? Infected finger

"He tells me to keep on warming up and treats me like a dog."
Carlos Tevez was the first "dog" to refuse to run after a ball

"Well tossed that one away nicely. Carnage on the greens."
Lee Westwood couldn't believe the mess he'd made of his salad

For the rest of the week in words, check out our Quote/Unquote.
