I have only been here since 1996 but between 1966 and 1996 England had thirty years without foreign players and didn't win any more competitions in that time.

I think we live in a very competitive world, and I love competition.

I am supposed to take the bullets and absorb them. Like a bear, a polar bear.

I am not against being pragmatic, because it is pragmatic to make a good pass, not a bad one. If I have the ball, what do I do with it? Could anybody argue that a bad solution like just kicking it away is pragmatic just because, sometimes, it works by accident?

It's like a child who is used to having ice cream whenever he wants. When it doesn't come when he asks he tends to get confused and nervous.

I'm not scared to spend money. If you go out with me one night, you will understand that.

Of the nine red cards this season we probably deserved half of them.
