He was 13 and just floated over the ground like a cocker spaniel chasing a piece of silver paper in the wind." ON GARY NEVILLE ON PAUL INCE "I used to have a saying that when a player is at his peak, he feels as though he can climb Everest in his "If he was an inch taller he'd be the best centre-half in Britain. His father is 6ft 2in - I'd check the milkman." slippers. That's what he was like." ON ITALIANS "When an Italian tells me it's pasta on the plate I check under the sauce to make sure. They are the inventors of the smokescreen." ON THE 1999 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TRIUMPH "I can't believe it.l can't believe it. Football. Bloody hell." ON MEDIA CRITICISM OF JUAN SEBASTIÁN VERÓN "On you go. I'm no f**king talking to you. He's a f**king great player. You are f**king idiots." ON HIS FORMER CHARGES AS MANAGERS ON OLD TRAFFORD It can be difficult to pinpoint who would make it as a manager. For instance, nobody here thought Mark Hughes would become a manager, never in a million years, and we all thought Bryan Robson was a certainty to be a top manager. The crowd were dead. It was like a funeral out there. ON THE REFEREE ALAN WILEY The pace of the game demanded a referee who was fit. It is an indictment of our game. You see referees abroad who are as fit as butcher's dogs. We have some who are fit. He wasn't fit. He was taking 30 seconds to book a player. He was needing a rest. It was ridiculous. ON ARSÈNE WENGER "They say he's an intelligent man, right? Speaks five languages. I've got a 15-year-old boy from the Ivory Coast who speaks five languages!" ON KICKINGA BOOT INTO DAVID BECKHAM'S FACE IN 2003 ON FILIPPO INZAGHI "It was a freakish incident. If I tried it 100 or a million times it couldn't happen again. If I could I would have carried on playing!" "That lad must have been born offside." ON WHETHER LIVERPOOL WOULD WIN THE TITLE IN 2007 ON LIVERPOOL "My greatest challenge is not what's happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their f**king perch. And you can print that." "You must be joking. Do I look as if I'm a masochist ready to cut myself? How does relegation sound instead?" ON JOSÉ MOURINHO "He was certainly full of it, calling me boss and big man when we had our post-match drink after the first leg. But it would help if his greetings were accompanied by a decent glass of wine. What he gave me was paint-stripper." ON RAFAEL BENÍTEZ, REACTING TO THE SPANIARD'S INFAMOUS 'FACTS' PRESS CONFERENCE "I think he was an angry man. He must have been disturbed for some reason. I think you have got to cut through the venom of it and hopefully he'll reflect and understand what he said was absolutely ridiculous." ON MANCHESTER CITY'S CARLOS TÉVEZ POSTER "It's City isn't it? They are a small club, with a small mentality. All they can talk about is Manchester United, that's all they've done and they can't get away from it." ON CITY AGAIN "Sometimes you have a noisy neighbour. You cannot do anything about that. They will always be noisy. You just have to get on with your life, put your television on and turn it up a bit louder." M.C.F.C. ON WAYNE ROONEY'S TRANSFER REQUEST "Sometimes you look in a field and you see a cow and you think it's a better cow than the one you've got in your own field. It's a fact. Right? And it never really works out that way." ON CRISTIANO RONALDO TO REAL MADRID "Do you think I would enter into a contract with that mob? Absolutely no chance. I would not sell them a virus. That is a 'No' by the way. There is no agreement whatsoever between the clubs." AYS ON MANCHESTER UNITED'S ON MANCHESTER UNITED's 19TH LEAGUE TITLE 20TH LEAGUE TITLE "It's not so much passing Liverpool. It's more important that United are the best team in the country in terms of winning titles." "Look at me – it's taken 10 years GI off me today. It's these tablets, they're great!" ENS ATG webtise.
