Atletico Madrid Press Conference ahead of the key ECL Group I game vs Udinese
JKisthe1 strolls in, beaming smile and all.
"Good afternoon Ladies and Gentleman, thank you for coming, let's have the first question please."
Marca - "JK we haven't seen you yet, where have you been?"
JK - "well I figured you guys would care more about those guys in white. But to answer your question, look at the table, I've been in the dugout rather skillfully guiding my team into a controlling position in the group. Now that I have done that I have time for more frivolous activities. Plus, like my friends over in Manchester, I frankly can only be arsed to turn up for games against big rivals."
Sky Italia "Do you think playing away will be a hindrance?"
JK - "Why should it, did you see Udinese last week? If you thought United were bad last night, then geez. He has taken a huge risk and sacrificed his home advantage to try and avert an injury crisis and mount a serious challenge.

JK - "Not overly, but there is some bloke in midfield who's supposed to be quite a holy fella, if he decides to make something of himself he could be a threat. But he hasn't managed it so far"
Goal - "Is there any truth to the rumour that you plan on signing Ryo speedwagon?"
JK - "Who?
Goal - He plays for Bolton"
JK - "Bolton?? Who the hell would buy one of their players, except maybe Mark Davies" Good grief, is it any wonder everyone thinks your shit."
JK - "Anything else?"
ESPN - "Do you have anything to say to your opponent this week, Mull"
JK - "That Italian bloke who has a Scouse twinge? Just this
