I think Paul Scholes is the best player in England. He's got the best skills, the best brain. No one can match him. There isn't a player of his mould anywhere in the world. Paul is irreplaceable.

Sometimes in football you have to hold your hand up and say, yeah, they're better than us.

Cole should be scoring from those distances, but I'm not going to single him out.

I don't like losing but I've mellowed. I maybe have a short fuse but it goes away quicker now.

I tried it 100 or a million times it couldn't happen again. If I could, I would have carried on playing.

I remember the first time I saw him. He was 13 and just floated over the ground like a cockier spaniel chasing a piece of silver paper in the wind.

We are very focused this time and our preparation has been better. We maybe made one or two mistakes last time, but not this time.
