It was our worst-ever day, the worst result in my history, ever. Even as a player I don't think I ever lost 6-1.

It was the most emphatic display of selflessness I have seen on a football field. Pounding over every blade of grass, competing as if he would rather die of exhaustion than lose, he inspired all around him.

Go make your mistakes in the first team. You'll learn more in a month in the first team than you will in two years in the reserves.

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

I'm no f****** talking to you. He's a f****** great player. Yous are f******* idiots.

I think Rafael Benítez was an angry man. He must have been disturbed for some reason. I think you have got to cut through the venom of it and hopefully he'll reflect and understand what he said was absolutely ridiculous.

Look at me – it's taken 10 years off me today. It's these tablets, they're great!
