'Certain people are for me and certain people are pro me.' -
TERRY VENABLES 'The lads ran their socks into the ground.' - ALEX FERGUSON 'We threw our dice into the ring and turned up trumps.' -
BRUCE RIOCH 'Shearer could be at 100 per cent fitness, but not peak fitness.' - GRAHAM TAYLOR 'Give him his head and he'll take it with both hands or feet.' - BOBBY GOULD 'I'd say he's the best in Europe, if you put me on the fence.' - BOBBY ROBSON 'Cole should be scoring from those distances, but I'm not going to single him out.' - ALEX FERGUSON 'Neil Lennon wasn't sent off for scoring a goal, and that's what annoys me.' - MARTIN O'NEILL 'I would have to be deaf not to read the allegations.' - BOBBY DOWNES 'Nowhere in Europe, especially the world...' - ALEX FERGUSON 'And I honestly believe we can go all the way to Wembley unless somebody knocks us out.' - DAVE BASSETT What I said to them at half time would be unprintable on the radio.' -

I suppose it's like seeing Ian Wright at Arsenal....' - BRUCE RIOCH The defence is afraid of their weak keeper, that's why they play so well.' - UDO LATTEK 'I am confident, I have never lost with Parma. Probably because I never played there.' - ROY HODGSON 'He has now got a scapegoat to hang his hat on.' - FRANCIS LEE 'Some people think football is a matter of life and death.

You don't know if they're going to turn up for training. I'm being serious.' - DON HOWE 'To be second with one game to go - you can't ask for more.' - STUART MCCALL 'It could be an advantage or a disadvantage, for us as well as for the other team.' - ERICH RIBBECK Of the nine red cards we have received this season, we probably deserved half of them.' - ARSENE WENGER 'I've seen them on television on a Sunday morning most days of the week.' -
