soccer football monday
I understand the intensity of the supporters. I wonder how they could turn up for work on Monday morning after we lost 5-1 to Manchester City.
heart player games
Everyone remembers Stuart Pearce as a determined, aggressive player, who played with great heart and enthusiasm that gave him a great career in the game.

We have to try to beat Everyone.
inspirational cat home
If Chelsea drop points, the cat's out in the open. And you know what cats are like - sometimes they don't come home.
inspirational house empty
He could start a row in an empty house.
inspirational dog games
The pace of the game demanded a referee who was fit. It is an indictment of our game. You see referees abroad who are as fit as butcher's dogs. We have some who are fit. He wasn't fit.
inspirational book player
He was taking 30 seconds to book a player. He was needing a rest. It was ridiculous.

Everest in his slippers. That's what he was like.
inspirational blessed fire
Wayne is truly blessed. He doesn't just have ability, he has a fire inside him.
inspirational player asking
If ever there was one player, anywhere in the world, that was made for Manchester United, it was Cantona. He swaggered in, stuck his chest out, raised his head and surveyed everything as though he was asking: 'I'm Cantona. How big are you? Are you big enough for me?'
inspirational emotional guy
Pardew has come out and criticized me. He is the worst at haranguing referees. He shoves them and makes a joke of it. How he can criticize me is unbelievable. He forgets the help I gave him, by the way. The press have had a field day. The only person they have not spoken to is Barack Obama because he is busy. It is unfortunate but I am the manager of the most famous club in the world. Not Newcastle, a wee club in the North-East. I was demonstrative. I am always demonstrative. Everyone knows that. I am an emotional guy but I was not abusive.
mistake two focus
We are very focused this time and our preparation has been better. We maybe made one or two mistakes last time, but not this time.
soccer moving player
I tell the players that the bus is moving. This club has to progress. And the bus wouldn't wait for them. I tell them to get on board.
