drop job teams today
We've got to get our own job done and we've managed to do that today and if other teams drop points, then so be it.
team player quality
In some ways, I was a little bit surprised [by how dominant we were] but then I look at the players in our changing room and it doesn't surprise me because we've got quality in there. If we click and play well like we did in the first half, we can open up any team.
team player men
I could never get bored talking about him, he was my favourite player. I loved watching him because he did everything you'd want to see in a footballer. He could dictate the pace of a game; he could take it by the scruff of the neck and control it; he could score decisive goals; he could make the killer pass; he could switch the play, open teams up, slow the game down, quicken it up; whatever was needed. He would take the ball anywhere on the pitch He was such a selfless footballer, too Scholesy was the man, all right.
team believe winning
Four years ago maybe we thought we were inferior to Brazil, subconsciously we didn't see ourselves beating them. Now we believe in ourselves, we can be on the pitch with any team in the world and think we can win.

I was shocked and devastated when I heard the verdict.

We don't like the criticism and after the Austria and Poland games we want to be able to go outside with our chests out and our heads held high.
english-athlete lived pitch
I set myself high standards on the pitch and I know I have not always lived up to them this season.

That just proves the quality we have here with some of the young players.
against bit consistent credit deserve pressure season
They've (Chelsea) been very consistent this season and deserve credit for that. We could have put a bit more pressure on them if we hadn't slipped up against Sunderland, but it wasn't to be.
