We are very focused this time and our preparation has been better. We maybe made one or two mistakes last time, but not this time.

You are not going to be happy if you lose to a goal in the last minute. It is difficult to take and difficult to get out of your mind.

The culmination of three trophies was the pinnacle of my career and it has been rewarded with a knighthood.

In any normal season, most of the teams below Chelsea would think they are doing quite well.

When an Italian tells me it's pasta on the plate, I check under the sauce to make sure.

The best have the courage and I say this all the time. The courage to take the ball all the time, the courage to make sure that they are not going to be intimidated by their opponents, and the courage to express themselves at all times and I think that all the great players have got that.

It was our worst-ever day, the worst result in my history, ever. Even as a player I don't think I ever lost 6-1.

I bet him he wouldn't get 15 league goals and I'm going to have to change my bet with him. If he gets to 15 I can change it and I am allowed to do that because I'm the manager. I'm going to make it 150 now!

In England, it's a rare thing to see a player smoking but, all in all, I prefer that to an alcoholic. The relationship with alcohol is a real problem in English football and, in the short term, it's much more harmful to a sportsman. It weakens the body, which becomes more susceptible to injury.

I always said to the directors that the minute a player becomes more powerful than the manager of Manchester United, it's not Manchester United. You have lost control of the whole club. So I always made sure that I was in control. They always knew who the manager was.

He's fiery, he's competitive, ... I think it was an unfair booking, and Wayne reacts like this against injustice.

I think Paul Scholes is the best player in England. He's got the best skills, the best brain. No one can match him. There isn't a player of his mould anywhere in the world. Paul is irreplaceable.

I understand the intensity of the supporters. I wonder how they could turn up for work on Monday morning after we lost 5-1 to Manchester City.

It was the most emphatic display of selflessness I have seen on a football field. Pounding over every blade of grass, competing as if he would rather die of exhaustion than lose, he inspired all around him.
