For me, motivation is a person who has the capability to recruit the resources he needs to achieve a goal.

At some clubs success is accidental. At Arsenal it is compulsory.

Sometimes now, when I watch continental games on television, I'm a bit bored. I ask, 'where is the intensity?'

The biggest things in life have been achieved by people who, at the start, we would have judged crazy. And yet if they had not had these crazy ideas the world would have been more stupid.

I believe in work, in connections between the players, I think what makes football great is that it is a team sport. You can win in different ways, by being more of a team, or by having better individual players. It is the team ethic that interests me, always.

Ferguson's out of order. He has lost all sense of reality. He is going out looking for a confrontation, then asking the person he is confronting to apologise. He's pushed the cork in a bit far this time.

Young players need freedom of expression to develop as creative players... they should be encouraged to try skills without fear of failure.
