“Glasgow is an incredibly passionate place.”
“If Ben White is refusing to represent England because of a grudge, he will regret this stance at the end of his career - even more so if it means missing out on Euro 2024. I am certain of it. I should know, too, because I still rue my own refusal in 1998.”
“Before VAR was brought in, we saw plenty of offsides which were incorrect. I've been on the wrong end of them myself.”
“When you think of the great names on the list of England's all-time top scorers, for Harry Kane to sit clear of them all is an immense achievement.”
“True fans stay in the stadium through thick and thin, and get behind their team.”
“The last goal I ever scored in professional football was at Goodison Park - a glancing header for Aston Villa in a 1-0 win in November 2006. There was something special about doing that at Goodison, one of English football's greatest old-school grounds.”
“We had a strange mentality at Norwich in 1992-93. We didn't let defeats bother us, and that is probably why we were able to finish third in the Premier League with a goal difference of minus four.”
“It does happen in football that when one team goes in front, the other comes back at them and has a go.”
“I like Jurgen Klopp's passion. His air punching. His infectious smile.”
“My old strike partner Alan Shearer was like that: just brutal in his finishing.”
“You'd be mad to think that Postecoglou is about to change his approach. It is a winning one, as the Aussie proved in his time at Celtic.”
“I suspect I'm not the only one driven mad by VAR delays.”
“Ilkay Gundogan has always gone under the radar with some of the greats but the Manchester City midfielder has one of the best brains in Premier League history.”
“Bielsa was a refreshing addition to our game.”
“I really rate Ivan Toney so much.”
“When defenders are up against top-class attackers, you really find out what they're made of.”
“It is abundantly clear that the impact of heading a football has led to former players suffering with dementia and other issues and that there is real potential for those who take to the field today to have similar problems in the future.”
“Lord knows I've seen some coaches work themselves into a frenzy in their technical areas and lose it at full time.”
“Defenders are slippery beings, doing whatever they can to annoy you when the referee isn't looking.”
“You have to be brave enough to make difficult decisions without worrying whom you might upset.”
