In any normal season, most of the teams below Chelsea would think they are doing quite well.

I tell the players that the bus is moving. This club has to progress. And the bus wouldn't wait for them. I tell them to get on board.

Attack wins you games, defence wins you titles.

The pace of the game demanded a referee who was fit. It is an indictment of our game. You see referees abroad who are as fit as butcher's dogs. We have some who are fit. He wasn't fit.

I am such a bloody talented guy. I might go into painting or something like that.

I used to have a saying that when a player is at his peak, he feels as though he can climb.

If Chelsea drop points, the cat's out in the open. And you know what cats are like - sometimes they don't come home.
