SuperSport finds the best sporting quotes of the week:
"I'm confident that I'm good, so I can wear what boot I want."
Arsenal's Nicklas Bendtner on the colour of his footwear. The Danish striker has taken to the field in lime green and pink boots in recent months. If he was as good as he reckons he is, they might not have recorded the most consecutive scoreless draws of Arsene Wenger's time at the club.

Yes, Manchester United are the best team in England, but you have to ask how good has the Premier League been since I left? If I was at a top club in England I think the title race might have been a lot closer this year.
If not for his self-effacing modesty, Jose Mourinho would go far.

"We will go for the win if we get the opportunity."
Windies coach John Dyson on the fifth test against England. Going for the win? That'll be why they selected three bowlers and seven batsmen.

"My mother is getting better than she was but it's still very horrible for her. When I was at school she used to hate it. Then when I had my first blackout she asked me to stop. I don't think she'll ever be happy, no matter how many records I break."
Freedive world record-holder Guillaume Nery. He set the record of 113m in warm waters off his home city of Nice last July. Now the 26-year-old is having a dip in the ice-capped waters of Norway. We're with his mum on this one.

"There's an Australian culture and sport is a big part of that. Rugby league has its own type of culture ... it's a hard, rugged man's game and this is how you do it, you go out and play hard and then drink hard. And if they [the NRL] are not controlling it, sanctioning that behaviour, then it is going to continue."
Dr Dwight Zakus, a sports ethicist and senior lecturer at Griffith University, on the boozy shenanigans that have blighted the start of the NRL season. SuperShorts agrees with everything he said, except the first four words: "There's an Australian culture ..."

"Contrary to popular belief, Formula One is not all about glitz and glamour, parties and celebrities ... At its heart, it is about technology and scientific innovation."
Huh? No hookers, no champagne and no partying? The season hasn't even started and McLaren chairman Ron Dennis is declaring F1 a fun-free zone.
