Aggression is what I do. I go to war. You don't contest football matches in a reasonable state of mind.

If it had come to a fight, Patrick [Vieira] could probably have killed me.

Just because a club says a player is not for sale, it doesn't necessarily mean that.
Roy Keane

I am not naive enough to settle for anything less than a reasonable valuation of my worth.

I'm not at Manchester United to keep everyone happy.

They have a few drinks, and maybe the prawn sandwiches, and they don't realise what's going on out on the pitch.

The type of game I play, I'm going to pick injuries and suspensions, unfortunately.

I think players tend to get anxious if they've not really done things properly - like eating, resting or training. If you're fully prepared you've got nothing to worry about - it's just a game of football.

I was a big fan of Maradona growing up and of the current crop Ronaldo is good but Messi is the best I’ve ever seen. I don’t dish out praise lightly but Messi deserves it. I look for weaknesses in his game and I can’t find them.

When results aren't good the manager gets the sack, that's the game.

These so-called big stars are people we are supposed to be looking up to. Well they are weak and soft. Priorities have changed in football and they are being dictated to by their wives.

I still say the '94 Double team is the best. They could outfight you or outplay you, depending on the way you wanted it. But this side is moving in the same direction.

I don't think some of the people who come to Old Trafford can spell football, never mind understand it.

A lot has been written about my age and my injuries. A lot of people think I'm going to be 94. I'm actually 34 and I feel quite good. I'm sure the fans will judge me on what I do on the pitch, not what I say.

There has been lots of things said about me over the years. I am happy to comment on people's opinion in football I respect, but Tony Cascarino is a man I certainly do not respect, for a lot of reasons, and if I told you, you would be shocked. So the day I worry about Tony Cascarino will be a very sad day of my life.

People say I'm hard, I'm Mr Angry. I'm this, I'm that. I just want to win matches. There's no point going out there and being Mr Nice Guy. We get 55,000 at Old Trafford and I don't think they want fellas going out there and thinking: Ah, if we lose, so what?

I got Robbie's mobile number and rang him. It went to his voicemail: 'Hi, it's Robbie - whazzup!' Like the Budweiser ad. I never called him back. I thought: 'I can't be f****** signing that'.

People say 'go with the flow' but do you know what goes with the flow? Dead fish.

Maybe Gary (Neville) deserves to be chased up a tunnel every now and then - there would be a queue for him, probably. But you have to draw a line eventually.
