This is the real thing, this is no show pony,
Coley deserves a great reception. The United fans will respect a great player for this club who scored a bagful of goals. There's bound to be a bit of banter, but Coley played in the European Cup final and the fans won't forget that.
I think the Carling Cup is a big moment for us.
He won't give me one single second's rest for 90 minutes,
He'll always be one of the legends of Manchester United,
We need to become more ruthless and critical in front of goal.
When you join this club as a young player you know you've got a mountain to climb to get yourself into the first team. (on Manchester United)
Playing for England was one long roller-coaster: some ups and downs, but also quite a few moments when you're not really sure if you're enjoying the ride.
In my 20 years in football, I was fortunate enough never to have experienced relegation. And while there is the pressure of expectations at the top of the league, at the bottom it comes in fear and trepidation, which is almost worse.
There are lots of concerns facing English football but for me the major one is the way in which football clubs are run by owners, whether they are growing organically and sustainably and how that is being policed by the football authorities.
Something interesting has happened over the last 10 years in the Premier League. Players who once would have been discarded as expensive and too old have become important parts of title-winning squads.
I would have been about seven years old when the formative years of my competitive football education began. I was playing in the local leagues around Manchester, playing against lads from tough areas who had been taught they had to fight for everything.
I've got no sympathy for him whatsoever. I just wish we had got 10 past him. At the end of the day we've got to be ruthless and we are in the business of winning for us. If they had scored three or four, nobody would have said do you feel sorry for Mark Bosnich? We don't feel sorry for Craig Forrest.
He went in with his shuds stowing.
