There's nothing good on the news. You're not telling me CNN is all cats in trees, are you? Nothing can be that good if Piers Morgan is in it, you know what I mean?

Solo artists are generally totally insane. Elton John? Slightly eccentric. George Michael? He's mad as custard.

Americans are crazy. They have this fascination with throwing their shoes on stage. I've been to a lot of shows in me life, some good and some bad. But I was never moved to take off me shoes and throw it at the lead singer.

I think the fact that Sir Alex Ferguson rested Howard Webb had a lot to do with the result.
