It's thedrum.co.uk's round up of the best quotes from the week's biggest media and marketing stories. And this week, there's only one possible place to start...

"Well, somebody better get down there and explain offside to her.... Yeah, I know. Can you believe that? Female linesman. Forget what I said – they probably don't know the offside rule.... See charming Karren Brady this morning complaining about sexism? Yeah. Do me a favour, love."
The original recording that sparked the week's biggest media story. Sky Sports presenters Richard Keys and Andy Gray are caught on tape making sexist remarks ahead of the Wolves vs Liverpool game, which featured female assistant referee Sian Massey.

“Andy Gray’s contract has been terminated for unacceptable behaviour. After issuing a warning yesterday, we have no hesitation in taking this action after becoming aware of new information today.”
Barney Francis, managing director of Sky Sports, confirms Andy Gray's sacking after a second video was leaked showing the pundit making lewd comments towards fellow Sky presenter Charlotte Jackson. A third video later surfaced online showing Richard Keys making further unguarded remarks. 

"I rang on behalf of Andy and myself and made it an official apology, which she accepted. We enjoyed some banter together and left on good terms. She was in good spirits and I expressed my disappointment that Andy and I were misguidedly having fun, and had got it wrong."
In a long and frank interview with TalkSPORT, Richard Keys repeatedly apologises for his controversial comments and says he called Sian Massey within hours of the story breaking to say sorry. He talked about "dark forces" at work during the fallout and, later that day, handed in his resignation.

"Are you OK with her (a female journalist) being in the room?"
Liverpool FC manager Kenny Dalglish quips at the expense of a Sky Sports journalist in the wake of the sexism row.

"It makes no sense to cut back the BBC website as increasing numbers of people rely on the internet. The NUJ will not stand by idly if members are forced out of their jobs."
Jeremy Dear, general secretary of the National Union of Journalists, condemns the BBC's decision to cut a quarter of its budget for websites and axe 360 jobs. 

"Please, fellow creatives, boycott this outrageous bun fight for scraps from the table. By any rules £500 is below a pittance for a rebrand. By these rules its plain offensive. If ever there was a misnomer then 'Pride' is it - don't devalue design!”
A Manchester designer urges his contemporaries to boycott Manchester Pride's search for a new identity, a brief which comes with a mere £500 budget.

"Manchester Pride is a registered charity and, as such, we have to use our very limited budget wisely. This includes spend on branding the event. We are a not-for-profit organisation and have donated £895,000 to local LGBT charities and groups across Greater Manchester since 2003. We ran a similar competition in 2008, which was very successful, with almost 100 entries. These ranged from amateur to professional designers."
Manchester Pride festival director Jackie Crozier replies to the criticism and explains why the charity can only offer a limited budget.

"I have been lucky to work alongside some brilliant and talented people who I will no doubt miss very much, but the time is now right for me to take a breather and spend some time with my family. I’ll be exploring other opportunities and interests in due course."
Liane Grimshaw, managing partner at Manchester marketing agency Amaze, announces she is to step down and leave the company.

"This is a big surprise. I don't agree with the concept of award ceremonies, but I'm prepared to make an exception for the ones I'm nominated for. The last time there was a naked man covered in gold paint in my house, it was me."
Elusive street artist Banksy expresses his surprise at being nominated for an Oscar for his film Exit Through the Gift Shop.
