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'
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.
drinking player not-good-enough
All the stuff about being a drinking club, or having players who were not good enough, I treat as rubbish.

We've got to be outstanding when we start and let other people chase against us.
three england beats
When you beat Arsenal, they are a good three points.
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.
games goal trying
We're going to start the game at nil-nil and go out and try to get some goals.

And at the end of the season you can only do as well as what you have done
soccer night
It wasn't going to be our day on the night.

We have still got a couple of things to iron out regarding personal terms. But we are hopeful that Ugo will be an Albion player very soon.

We didn't compete and we didn't pass the ball. I could have taken all 11 off at halftime.

We have to make sure we win our last two games and hope the other games go for us on Saturday.

We want to keep bringing really good young players into this club and Curtis is one of the most outstanding young centre halves I've seen for some time. Hopefully, he will go and prove me right.
