Bryan Robson quotes about
kids boys past
The first time I saw Giggsy, he was playing for Salford Boys against United's apprentices. He was thin and wiry but he just glided past four of our apprentices as if they weren't even there, then he put the ball in the back of the net. I just thought 'This kid's an absolute natural'
lying games focus
As far as I'm concerned, that is the end of the matter. We have a big game against Birmingham on Saturday and that is where our focus lies.
soccer funny-soccer bigger
This is the one-off occasion and you can't get any bigger occasion than that
technology minorities crowds
In the end, a small section of the crowd, maybe 2,000 to 3,000, turned against me. And that was it. Inside the club they know your best intentions, but the minority shout louder than the rest.
country media way
In a way, certain sections of the media always wanted to knock me because I had captained my country and been skipper at Old Trafford. It was all a bit odd really.
people outstanding
We've got to be outstanding when we start and let other people chase against us.

The possibility of playing Birmingham in the next round is an exciting proposition for fans in the midlands - but I've not looked too far ahead, because we've got to get past Reading first. I am confident we can do a job in the replay, and I hope the team will see things through.
against coming concentration consider cup definitely delighted impress league loan manager matches needs performance players sending spoke squad summer taken understand
We spoke about lapses of concentration and things which he had to put right and, in this match, he put it all in. I'm delighted he's taken it on board. I can't consider sending him out on loan again. I've got a squad of players who are still in the cup and have some important league matches coming up. I can understand his concerns. With a World Cup in the summer he needs to impress his manager but, on that performance against Fulham, he can definitely do that.
broken chelsea good night played
We were broken down not by Chelsea's good play but by our own mistakes. After that Chelsea played as well as they can and it was a long night for us.
soccer football winning
Winning the Championship is like taking a 26-year ball and chain from around our legs. Now we can go forward, and hopefully dominate English football for the next 10 years, like Liverpool did.
