My favorite end of season awards:

Some of the funniest:

Best put-down: "Klinsmann's only idea for strengthening the sqaud in January was Landon Donovan," said Uli Hoeness. "Hermann Gerland [the youth team coach] told me the guy wasn't fit to play for his reserves."
Most relevant query: "Are you a journalist or only here to drink beer?" a reporter was asked by Jürgen Klopp at a press conference.
Dream job according to Miroslav Klose: "Player's wife. But striker isn't too bad either." (Explains a lot...)
Best court case: Felix Magath told the referee Helmut Fleischer that his match conduct had been "unter aller Sau" (translates as "beyond the pale", but is actually much more robust than that) in the game against Stuttgart. Magath was sent to the stand for this outburst but appealed against the fine, twice. In the third disciplinary hearing, the judge lowered the fine to €7,500 but confirmed the earlier findings that Magath had been guilty of unsporting behaviour. "If you tell your wife her cooking is beyond the pale, she'd feel insulted, too", said the judge. "But her cooking would improve," countered Magath.
Best excuse: "Why does he run where I'm tackling?" – the Dortmund defender Neven Subotic about hacking down Demba Ba. :D
