More quotes by Alex Ferguson
As long as there are games to play its not over
Alex Ferguson
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.
Alex Ferguson
He was taking 30 seconds to book a player. He was needing a rest. It was ridiculous.
Alex Ferguson
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!
Alex Ferguson
Keeping players happy is not easy and I think anyone with a big squad will tell you that.
Alex Ferguson
Well, football is a hard game there's no denying it. It's a game that can bring out the worst in you, at times.
Alex Ferguson
There are members of the London press who seek to antagonise me, deliberately.
Alex Ferguson
I have nothing but praise for the boy. He is easily the best player in the world. His contribution as a goal threat is unbelievable. His stats are incredible. Strikes at goal, attempts on goal, raids into the penalty box, headers. It is all there. Absolutely astounding.
Alex Ferguson
Promise is one thing. Fulfilling that promise is quite another.
Alex Ferguson
But there is always that unpredictability about a derby match and that's what it was today.
Alex Ferguson
Everyone remembers Stuart Pearce as a determined, aggressive player, who played with great heart and enthusiasm that gave him a great career in the game.
Alex Ferguson
In any normal season, most of the teams below Chelsea would think they are doing quite well.
Alex Ferguson
If my parents were still alive, they would be very proud. They gave me a good start in life, the values that have driven me, and the confidence to believe in myself.
Alex Ferguson
Jose understands winning and losing are twins in a way. When you win you don't gloat and when you lose you don't go bananas.
Alex Ferguson
I am such a bloody talented guy. I might go into painting or something like that.
Alex Ferguson
You can't applaud a referee.
Alex Ferguson
Football, bloody hell!
Alex Ferguson
I do believe in fate.
Alex Ferguson
I feel sympathy for the working class lad. I've always championed about ticket prices and try to equate that to people's salaries.
Alex Ferguson
Myths grow all the time. If I was to listen to the number of times I've thrown teacups then we've gone through some crockery in this place. It's completely exaggerated, but I don't like people arguing back with me.
Alex Ferguson
