When an Italian tells me it's pasta on the plate, I check under the sauce to make sure.

Well, football is a hard game; there's no denying it. It's a game that can bring out the worst in you, at times.

They had Jan Venegoor of...whatever you call him.

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.

Funnily enough we have never had one enquiry for Paul Scholes. You know why? Because they all know he will never leave. in my time he would be in the top six or seven (best United players ever) without a doubt. His contribution and quality have been great, even without the fantastic goals he has scored. [ . . . ] He has that wonderful velvet touch on the ball. When he gets it, it goes stone dead. It is wonderful to see that amidst all the mayhem that can happen in a football match.

I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Football. Bloody hell.

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.
