Look at my haircut. I am ready for the war. The objective is to win the Premiershp. I don't want to dominate, to finish without defeat, record points or goals or consecutive wins. The Premiership is so difficult you cannot be focused on that. I just think about winning.

It gave the title to Manchester City - it's as simple as that.

So I know all about the ups and downs of football, I know that one day I will be sacked.

If a player is not performing, there are two ways of looking at it. You wait for performance to come, or maybe the moment has arrived where you have to change. I could go either way.

The best way to stop Messi is when you play with 11 men and then you can double mark him, one player to stay on him and the other to help out. If it is 11 against 10 then you have almost no chance of stopping him.

Football is a game based on emotion and intelligence. Anyone can be clever, the trick is not to think the other guy is stupid.

Let slip the dogs of champions.
