Keith Curle goes viral with what he had to say in a rather hilariously bizarre interview after Hartlepool’s win against Grimsby on Saturday.
Pools found the net twice in the space of four minutes late in the League Two clash to cancel out Gavan Holohan’s opener to secure their second win of the season.
Holohan put fired Grimsby in front with a stunning strike inside the opening 10 minutes as the Mariners looked to put more disappointment on the lowly Pools.
But they fought on, Curle was delighted when his side produced a comeback in the last 12 minutes, first through Alex Lacey as he got his head on a cross sent in by David Ferguson to put the ball beyond Max Crocombe and then Josh Umerah, who helped on another Ferguson cross with Grimsby defender Niall Maher also involved, as Hartlepool move off the foot of the table.
It was the first time Pools have won in the league at home on a Saturday afternoon since October 2021, over a year ago, when they came from behind to beat Harrogate Town and Curle admitted post-match Hartlepool’s win over Grimsby at the weekend was the second of three requirements when waking up on Saturday morning.
“I woke up this morning and I had three requirements: us to win, Man City to win and my missus to be in a sexy mood on a Saturday night,” said Curle.
“So I’ve got two out of three so far and now I’ve got a two hour drive home. So it would be nice to get a hat-trick.”
Curle also praised his side for finding a way back into the game after going one down through Holohan while also praising the home faithful for their support in helping their side over the line.
“We take the positives out of everything. Even in defeat I still try and find the positives. There’s negatives within that game, but there’s massive positives that we need to work on.” Curle told The Mail.
“We need to get more people in the box and we need to get better quality into the box and get more people arriving. Too many times today we got counter-attacked by a lack of quality in the final third.
“I said last week we need to find another yard in the box and another yard in our own box. That still hasn’t changed.
“That yard isn’t always physical, sometimes it’s mentally. We go 2-1 up and we find that extra yard. What we need to work on is finding that extra yard at 0-0.”
The interim boss added: “The supporters at this football club have got to buckle in because it’s going to be a rollercoaster. There’s going to be some bumpy times, there’ll be twists and turns.
“The supporters, I’ve got to say, played their part massively. The reception the players got at the end and myself and the staff [was excellent]. The support that you get at the end of a game when they’ve seen their team with effort, application and desire is priceless.”
Asked how his day was going after the win, Curle, who spent five years with Manchester City as a player in the 90s, said he was aiming for a personal hat-trick: Man City’s 1-0 win over Leicester accomplished the first, Hartlepool’s win was the second, and “grafting” during the two-hour ride home to put his missus in “a sexy mood” was now the active mission.
The reporter was lost for words, and we have no update on how Curle’s Saturday night went, instead just left us to our imagination.
I guarantee you have no chance of guessing where this interview with Hartlepool boss Keith Curle is going after the question is asked.
