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.
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.
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.
games goals nine somebody statistic until
I didn't know about the statistic of only nine goals in nine games until somebody told me but it would be a concern.
expected expecting half
We weren't expecting them to play that long. We expected them to play half a game.
came clicked confidence great held second trying
We held well and they didn't have any great chances. It clicked because we got that second goal. Confidence came into the team, we were trying things and I thought it was good.
ability behind chelsea crowd game question start
The start of the game will be so important and we need the crowd behind us. The question is can we usurp Chelsea and make them think for a bit? I know we have the ability to do it - and I think everyone else does too.
agree charge conduct dog man violent
The violent conduct charge bemuses me because every man and his dog would agree it was not violent conduct,
irish massive roy situation
Roy is the same. There has been speculation that he is going to Celtic, that he has had a massive bust-up with me and that the Irish situation has been a problem. It hasn't been.
club dog feet good guide handle man opinion
Every man and his dog has an opinion on him. The good thing is that he has his feet on the ground. He is at the right club and we know he can handle it. We will guide him.
At one point, I thought it could end up 20-20,
