celtic early goal helped looked
I think that early goal helped Celtic a lot. We looked all right at times, but we need to make some changes.
goal mind lasts
You are not going to be happy if you lose to a goal in the last minute. It is difficult to take and difficult to get out of your mind.
football player goal
Funnily enough we have never had one enquiry for Paul Scholes. You know why? Because they all know he will never leave. in my time he would be in the top six or seven (best United players ever) without a doubt. His contribution and quality have been great, even without the fantastic goals he has scored. [ . . . ] He has that wonderful velvet touch on the ball. When he gets it, it goes stone dead. It is wonderful to see that amidst all the mayhem that can happen in a football match.
inspirational goal league
I bet him he wouldn't get 15 league goals and I'm going to have to change my bet with him. If he gets to 15 I can change it and I am allowed to do that because I'm the manager. I'm going to make it 150 now!
fortune goal good nice second
I think the first goal was a nice one-two with good play from Ruud and Quinton Fortune but that second goal was superb.
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.

I didn't know about the statistic of only nine goals in nine games until somebody told me but it would be a concern.

It gives me an opportunity to use all my squad. Keeping players happy is not easy and I think anyone with a big squad will tell you that.
cannot close collect fair points stay today
I think today was probably a fair result. We cannot do anything about Chelsea, all we can do is concentrate on our own results. We have to collect as many points as we can and try to stay as close as possible.
chelsea opinion sensible throw title
I think the sensible opinion is that Chelsea have got the title as long as they don't throw it away.
capable form league showing winning
We're capable of winning the league but we need to get the form that's capable of winning the league -- and we're not showing that at the moment.
four half lucky second winning
We were lucky to be winning at halftime. But in the second half we could have scored four or five.

The Arsenal game is a must-win one for us and we want to win it, that's the most important thing, ... Showing great desire will be important next week.
