“Yeah I've got a mouth on me, but what I do is I give it as I see it.”
“I am passionate about grass-roots football providing a pathway to careers in the professional game, and I have seen a big step forward in terms of players behaviour.”
“But one thing I do is I know my football. I watch leagues from all over the world, I do my homework and I love football and could talk to you all day about it.”
“One of my most treasured possessions is the letter my father wrote to me when I left home to join the Manchester United Class of 92.”
“Phil Neville deserves better than a feeding frenzy of carping over his appointment as England Womens coach.”
“Owners and chairmen prefer to buy in talent as investments against relegation at one end of the table, or to attain the holy grail of European football at the top end.”
“I have always been an advocate of market forces and players being paid whatever clubs are prepared to pay them. Good luck to them.”
“I love it, I love the coaching - at 15 they listen, they learn and take things on board and if they don't there's always someone else who wants that opportunity.”
“With games being called off, and clubs having to field under-strength teams because of Covid outbreaks, it looks terrible when pictures emerge of Premier League players enjoying social gatherings in blatant breach of the regulations.”
“To be given the opportunity to talk football with the best players. I'm a fan, so even when we're not on air, we're still talking about football. I love it.”
“I didn't make it at Manchester United because I had no choice, I wasn't good enough, but I was lucky enough to go elsewhere and have a career.”
“What you don't realise when you get injured for a long period of time is that it's so hard to get back. You see the lads out on the training ground and you're in every day - 8 to 5 - and it's horrendous. So when you actually come back it's a proud moment.”
“If you ask your players to be brave on the ball, sometimes they are going to make mistakes or get caught out.”
“A club steeped in nearly 150 years of history is worth more to the local community than any amount of money can express.”
“Football without supporters is nothing.”

“In 2015-16, when Leicester won the title, I didnt really believe they were going to do it until the last four or five weeks of the season.”
“Look at all of United's successful teams under Sir Alex Ferguson and their captains were all big personalities: Bryan Robson, Steve Bruce, Roy Keane, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic. You would follow them all into the trenches.”
“I've had people spit in my face. I've had bottles thrown at me. My house has been attacked. I've had loads of things happen. People have written to me saying they are going to find me.”
“Too many points are being won or lost on the back of bad decisions which could cost clubs a place in the Champions League or send them down.”
