I run an academy in Spain for young footballers who are released by their clubs and who, in my opinion, deserve a second chance. It is a rewarding job for me, but one that also reveals many of the faults in the English game.
When a player gets to 30, so does his body
I didn't say them things that I said.
He is a goal scorer, not a natural born one - not yet. That takes time.
I have a number of alternatives, and each one gives me something different.
He was a player that hasn't had to use his legs even when he was nineteen years of age because his first two yards were in his head.
You can never compare two players that are different, they're never going to be the same.
You and I have been physically given two hands and two legs and half-decent brains. Some people have not been born like that for a reason. The karma is working from another lifetime. I have nothing to hide about that. It is not only people with disabilities. What you sow, you have to reap.
Michael Owen could be Sir Alex's best ever buy, even though he didn't buy him
Arsenal haven't won anything for three years, so they're used to success
No manager in the world gets good results all the time and you know there's people always ready to have a snipe. In fact I'm my own biggest critic, I really am. Because my own standards are so high, I criticise myself behind the scenes more than perhaps I should, according to people who know me well.
The FA Cup is still domestically the best cup in the world.
75% of what happens to Paul Gascoigne in his life is fiction.
You and I have been physically given two hands and two legs and half-decent brains. Some people have not been born like that for a reason. The karma is working from another lifetime.
Only 38 per cent of players in the Premier League are English; that is a damning statistic. Soon, the England manager will have to go scouting for players in the Championship - and when I say 'soon' I mean the next four or five years, perhaps even for the next World Cup.
I think in international football you have to be able to handle the ball.
Everton are now hitting the ropes running.
My saddest decision in football was leaving Paul Gascoigne out of the 1998 World Cup finals. But he wasn't fit enough and once that decision is made, as a manager and a group of players, you forget about who isn't there and focus on the job.
You have to look at things that happened in your life and ask why. It comes around.
The old adage that you shouldn't change a winning team doesn't apply in modern international football because managers have to study the opposition and pick players who exploit their weaknesses.
If there is any bad feeling I hope it's against me and not my players - I may put my tin helmet on without them seeing!
United will break caution to the wind
Your chest is different to your head.
There was nothing wrong with the performance, apart from throwing away the game.
It was my proudest moment as a manager when England drew 0-0 with Italy in Rome to qualify for the World Cup finals. Fifteen years later, the stakes are equally high for both countries as they go head-to-head for a semi-final place at the European Championship.
