best thing since sliced bread
another linked one!
a team of football-playing rats challenged some mice to a game. Confident that their size would give them victory, their non-playing captain, another rodent, snoozed during the match, which had finished when he awoke. He asked about the result and was told...?

not being a footie fan, I am not doing well on this one; though, researching some so-called memorable sayings of these egotists, I might surmise that the one-letter word is "I". Can you furnish some further clue?

Extra clue: It's more usual to say it this way round 1,2,3,4,4 and it's what you might say when you disdain something.
If that doesn't help enough...

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:
1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

The following words are in there, but I can't see why it would be memorable that anyone should say them!
I do not like that
Do I not like that
If that's correct, here's mine:
eagle faiths moat vows
3,1,4,2,3,6
Still just this on the whole.

Yes, it's correct - well done. I think it became memorable at least partly because he sounded like such a wally for saying it.

Another clue? This is still on the theme of the game of football.

the game could be a ball game in which the defending party lasted well, or it could be a game of life which has been pretty long and satisfactory
