I was quite good at football once, although other than that my speciality would be maths. I'm great at sudokus and find all the spin-off games pretty easy too.
I just think to be a manager you've got to live and breathe and have this incredible enthusiasm for football, the whole thing. And while I love the game, and it's been a large part of my life, it's not the only thing in my life.
Fella’s a genius. Best ever by a distance in my life time. Never really saw Pele… Souness, Gullit, Venables and now Rooney agree Messi is the best they have seen. He plays a game with which we are not familiar.
Chris Hughton has been sacked by Norwich. Now? With 5 games to go? Utterly bonkers!
The train's always full of football fans going up to see matches. Oh, they make sure I hear their points of view all right. They all want to have their say about their team, and make their opinions known.
It's a simple and brilliant idea. As I know only too well, the hospital does vital work and we all feel that the staff should have the best buildings and facilities money can buy.
It's amazing what you can see through Sven's specs - I must get a pair.
If somebody in the crowd spits at you, you've got to swallow it.
An excellent player - but he does have a black side
I think it's a wonderful idea and the animation and stories are terrific.
I was only interested in scoring goals. I wasn't interested in anything else.
Congratulations to Thierry Henry on a truly wonderful career. One of the great footballers of our time and a top bloke. Bonne chance.
We are in the entertainment business and we all know if you are top of the tree you get the big money. Those of us who have been in it are the fortunate ones but we understand that we probably don't deserve it as much as the nurses or teachers.
We have got too many kids around the house to have a romantic meal at home. But Danielle is a fantastic cook. She does a brilliant lasagna, great roasts and a great chilli dish. She knows the way to my heart.
