attacking both collected fantastic goals open played teams three
It was a very open game, both teams had a go and we played some fantastic attacking football. We should have had more goals but we collected another three points. The most important thing is we keep winning, and you never know where that will take us.
miles second
I'm going to tell you the story about the geese which fly 5,000 miles from Canada to France. They fly in V-formation but the second ones don't fly. They're the subs for the first ones. And then the second ones take over - so it's teamwork.
games goals nine somebody statistic until
I didn't know about the statistic of only nine goals in nine games until somebody told me but it would be a concern.
inspirational challenges alex
My greatest challenge is not what's happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their f*****g perch. And you can print that.
inspirational cities agents
At the last minute, from what I can gather, either Emmanuel Adebayor or his agent phoned us after they had agreed a deal with City and then did the same with Chelsea. He was desperate to get to either Chelsea or us.
As long as there are games to play it is not over.
achieve carry happens hold hopefully second whatever
We'll carry on and won't give up, but whatever happens it's important we hold on to second spot. Hopefully we can achieve that.
came clicked confidence great held second trying
We held well and they didn't have any great chances. It clicked because we got that second goal. Confidence came into the team, we were trying things and I thought it was good.
thinking work-out looks
Sometimes you look in a field and you see a cow and you think it's a better cow than the one you've got in your own field. It's a fact. Right? And it never really works out that way.
