We don't have any splits here. The players country is Liverpool Football Club and their language is football.

Our job is to make the fans happy. When we win, 45,000 people go home happy. When we lose, it not only affects them, it affects their cats.

You can't say my team aren't winners. They've proved that by finishing fourth, third and second in the last three years.

My philosophy is that the club is more important than anyone!

I want to keep an English heart to the team. I believe in that. Michael Owen is that. Never think Michael is afraid of anything.

It is important for the club to find a balance in a world driven by economic and political needs. This club usually does that [on leaving Liverpool]

When I see the Bill Shankly statue, I look at the sentiment on the base. It says: 'He made the people happy’. Well now the modern Liverpool is making the fans and the city happy. And that makes me so proud.
