Press conferences are usually full of media trained managers and footballers spouting clichéd lines and safe answers.But occasionally, coaches let go and say what they really think, put their foot in it or come out with claims that their own team then let them down on.Here are FIVE of the best from the season just gone for your viewing pleasure, so have a look and vote for your favourite below…
John Carver – Simply the “bestâ€

Avoided relegation on the final day and barely registered points in double figures during his reign… Sure you are, John!
Brendan Rodgers guarantees effort…
Okay, after this claim Brendan Rodgers’ side went out and beat QPR 2-1, but following that they drew with a Chelsea side who had already won the title and shipped nine goals in Steven Gerrard’s last two games against Crystal Palace and Stoke.

Too bizarre for words. Just watch and soak up the awkwardness…
LVG has a few too many…
Not strictly a press conference, but Louis van Gaal’s actions at Man United’s end of season awards do were amazing. The Dutchman must have found Fergie’s red wine supply as he cavorted about the stage in hilarious, and tipsy, state.
Jose Mourinho goes all Eric Cantona…
“To those who say we don’t deserve it, in my country we say: ‘The dogs bark and the caravan goes by,'”
Remarkably similar to Cantona’s “seagulls†and “trawlers†quotes… These were Jose Mourinho’s words after his side clinched the title!
