Though England would have to avoid playing between February and May, clearly. Only joking. I mean, it's not going to be him, though, is it? Are we live? Oh crap.
Obviously it's a great honor. But the one thing that doesn't change, no matter how many years you have on the contract, if you don't perform, you will be out. That is the main thing on my mind.
It's the best way to win a football match because there's no comeback from it.
It was a good day obviously because we won as well.
They are not the type of results that will take us towards the top of the league,
We've taken a lot of criticism recently, and rightly so - - there are a lot of expectations at this club. Hopefully this is the start of something special for us.
We were devastated last week because of what happened to Alan. He can't be here today but this victory is for him.
As football gets more globalised, it's probably more important than ever to have one or two players in your team who have grown up in the same streets or been to the same schools as the hard-core fans.
We live in a multi-cultural society far more open to international ideas. If you'd told me 20 years ago I'd drive through Bury and see someone sitting outside a cafe drinking a latte, I'd have laughed. In fact, I wouldn't have even known what a latte was.
We have to win that game. But we have to win every game, that's the way it's always been.
When I was a child, the FA Cup was one of the crown jewels of the sporting year, along with the Grand National, Wimbledon and The Open. But with every announcement it seems to lose another piece of its identity. First it was sponsors added to the name, followed by the semi-finals at Wembley.
We know over the next few days people will criticize us and rightly so because our performances haven't been up to our standards. There will be a lot of disappointment for the next few days but we are training on Friday and Saturday mornings and Sunday's game is a great chance to put it right because the fans will want us to put a show on for them.
All our thoughts are with Alan - we've had a bad day all round.
All our thoughts are with Alan and it has been a very bad day all round. The reaction of the crowd is part of football, you just have to accept it.
