cutting people wife
You people sometimes are like those serial killers you see in films who cut out the words 'I am going to get you' or 'your wife is next'.
player talking years
Arsene Wenger was talking about comparisons with Johan Cruyff, a player who only comes around every 10 years and Thierry Henry is definitely one of those
barcelona messi speak
Everybody at Barcelona loves Messi. They can't speak highly of him
soccer football winning
Good players win you games, good formations stop you losing them.
soccer football asking
If you keep asking me questions, I will continue to find excuses.
soccer football numbers
I tried to talk to the ref but it is easier to get to see the Pope. If I'm in London again and I get mugged I hope the same number of people turn up to protect me. There were six police, four stewards and even a UN peace observer out there.
soccer football thinking
I think if you've managed Celtic or Rangers you can go on to be Prime Minister of Great Britain, it's that hard.
ideas clue havens
Are there Martians out there? I haven't got a clue. Is there life out there? I have no idea.
lying team drinking
People talk about how you make team spirit - is it golf days or going out drinking together? That doesn't count. When you drink, you just tell lies to each other anyway and talk rubbish.
football thinking hands
Thomas Gravesen thinks he's broke his hand, but I told him that you play football with your feet and not your hand.
integrity years sticks
I've had to take a lot of stick down the years but the one thing that really got to me was when someone questioned my integrity. It's the one thing that really grates with you.
player reality two
It wasn't an easy decision to leave out Bobo, because I could have done that with two or three from the back four. But there's a limit to the players you have and the changes you can make. The reality is we're not defending well enough. But we just have to plug on. There's no magic formula.
football jobs team
The reality, ... is that I need to win games of football. That's where the pressure and the sleepless nights come from. There's a fantasy pressure with this job but none of that matters. I need to make this team into a good unit, need to take it forward, give it a change of pace, need to get it younger and to use the experience of the lads we've got here. I need Lennon and Sutton and people like that to go and show how you handle being a Celtic player.
football goal laughing
I'm going to miss his childlike laugh. I'll forget the goals but I'll never forget that laugh.
