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.
far game played team
I will make some changes. I think I played the right team in the first game and it won't be far away from that team again.
game happy issues manchester player present pursue quite rather smaller talking united
I think they (FIFA) are quite happy to take up smaller issues, like talking about a player at Manchester United who is 19 years of age, rather than pursue the really important issues in the game at this present day,
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.
front half maybe men point suppose team
We maybe could have got a goal, but I suppose with 10 men and the other team entrenched in their own half still with one up front they went for the point and got it.
against
Paul's had about 10 fouls against him but there were bookings (against him),

He's had a difficult time, obviously, but he trained yesterday and will train today so he will be okay.
games good great next played season servant terrific
He has been a great servant and played some terrific games for us and I think next season he will get a good club.

He has had one or two injuries in the past but he overcame those and I am sure he will do so again. He is mentally strong, that's a great advantage.
anyone british difficult favorite football hope opinion players problems pulls rooting terms
He has had a lot of problems over the years. We are all rooting for him and hope he pulls through. Everyone has their own opinion about football and their favorite players but in terms of British players, you would find it difficult to think of anyone better.

He has got three fractures in his cheekbone and it will be plated,

He is in a very influential position and I think people do listen to what he has got to say.
opportunity played
I'm satisfied, I thought we played well. If the opportunity is there, you've got to take it.

They know we're there and there's no disputing that fact. We are there and they are well aware of that and I think they know if they do slip up we are going to take our chance.
