Some people you shouldn't kid, even if they deserve it.
You start with what you believe in. I believe in building a football club rather than building a football team.
The philosophy of a lot of European teams, even in home matches, is not to give a goal away.
If you were in a game of football always think you need maybe eight to win the game. Three can on an off day or semi off day but you always hard. And the players recognize that and they'll do that extra to make sure they get winning. The essence of the team is to understand and trust each other and to trust me.
The best have the courage and I say this all the time. The courage to take the ball all the time, the courage to make sure that they are not going to be intimidated by their opponents, and the courage to express themselves at all times and I think that all the great players have got that.
I think he was an angry man. He must have been disturbed for some reason. I think you have got to cut through the venom of it and hopefully he'll reflect and understand what he said was absolutely ridiculous. (On Benitez)
I'm privileged to have followed Sir Matt because all you have to do is to try and maintain the standards that he set so many years ago.
Negotiation and discussion are the greatest weapons we have for promoting peace and development.
Line is so versatile - you can do a fine, tight, closely observed description or simply put a line around an idea - like a cartoonist.
You find out a lot about yourself through athletics. If you're cut out to be a winner or a failure or a quitter, athletics will bring it out of you. You're always stripping yourself down to the bones of your personality. And sometimes you just get a glimpse of the kind of talent you've been given. Sometimes I run and I don't even feel the effort of running. I don't even feel the ground. I'm just drifting. Incredible feeling. All the agony and frustration, they're all justified by one moment like that.
Like getting into a bleeding competition with a blood bank.
