FROM THE VAULT: One line. One press conference. One football meme that refuses to die. It can't go on like this, can it?

It can.

In this clip, Mick McCarthy revisits the now-legendary moment that gave us one of football’s most quoted phrases. What started as an honest, off-the-cuff response during a tough run of results quickly became a viral classic — and a brutally accurate summary of life as a football manager.

Mick explains the real meaning behind the words, lifting the lid on the pressure, fatigue, and mental battles that come with managing when results aren’t going your way. From dealing with the media to keeping belief inside the dressing room, this is a candid insight into how quickly things can spiral — and how, sometimes, football just keeps finding new ways to surprise you.

The lads reflect on why the quote struck such a nerve with fans, managers, and players alike, and why it still perfectly captures the chaos, humour, and harsh reality of the game today.
