There's no doubt he can finish as top scorer, and I sincerely hope he does. I would be more than happy is Michael were to take that away from me.
It is hard because it looks as if it (their goal) is handball. But that is the way things are going for us at the moment but we have got to stick together and work hard.
I've always said I'd like to give management a crack one day, but I'm not ready for this big club yet. It's a massive club with a great following and whoever gets it right will have great job on their hands because it is a big, big football club.
I shook her hand and I was just looking at her t**s.
It's been far too long that this club has been without silverware, but we've got a great chance to change that,
I'm not selling the club to him any more. I don't think I have to - the tough part was getting him here. We all said that, if we were to get him here, he would take to the football club, the area and the people. I think he's done that. The people have certainly taken to him - not only on the football pitch, but off it as well. They've made him feel very welcome and he's grateful for that. He likes the area, which I think is a big plus.
It would have been easy for me to go out there and stick one on him because that is what I wanted to do, ... He has done me, it was blatant. The referee was five yards away and he did nothing.
As far as I am concerned, nothing has changed. I will retire at the end of the season.
I've heard about offers from other clubs... and it's flattering. Obviously I'm doing something right.
That's the way he manages. He was like that when he was appointed and he won't change so people shouldn't complain,
Confidence is not very high at the moment,
It would be absolutely huge, as it would be for 95 percent of the Premiership clubs. I've spoken to him and tried to convince him. We're in there fighting for him.
I wanted to go the full distance, yes, but if I have to finish, then it's not a bad way to finish, coming to your local enemies and scoring a goal that's helped us get a 4-1 win.
Getting one result can lead to another and another, and we have now had six.
