Yes, yes, I know all the jokes. What else could I have expected at Highbury? But I went to Chelsea and to Tottenham and to Rangers, and saw the same thing: that the natural state of a football fan is bitter disappointment, no matter what the score.
I have always been accused of taking the things I love - football, of course, but also books and records - much too seriously, and I do feel a kind of anger when I hear a bad record, or when someone is lukewarm about a book that means a lot to me.
If something is not right we give out about it. He is almost a Yorkshireman with a Portuguese accent.
I remember the day when they sold Brian Deane and Jan Aage Fjortoft. It was like when President Kennedy got shot.
Football is a violent sport. Somebody's going to get hurt. It's the game. Just hopefully, you're on the good side of it.
I guess I'm a fun-loving teddy bear. I've got two sides to me. Obviously, there's the football side that a lot of people see - the mean, ferocious, coming-after-the-quarterback guy. But off the field, I'm a calm, cool, collected guy.
They (Leeds United) used to be a bit like Arsenal, winning by one goal to nil or even less.
That was only a yard away from being an inch-perfect pass.
There's hockey and football players tougher than me, there's gangbangers tougher than me. But my toughness is more, Jesus said "Be of tough mind, but tender heart; be tough as a serpent, but tender as a dove." That's who I am and what I do.
It's weird... people say they're not like apes. Now how do you explain football then?
It's very important that you focus on winning games and being consistent down the stretch. I think that's what we're focused on. All of the other stuff about who wins and who loses and how many wins do we need, if we're focusing on that, then that's not good.
When I was growing up, there weren't any Little Leagues in the city. Parents worked all the time. They didn't have time to take their kids out to play baseball and football.
Tottenham are trying tonight to become the first London team to win this cup. The last team to do so was the 1973 Spurs team.
When those nerf footballs get wet though then they actually do get heavy.
When I get the ball, for some reason I see holes. I'm not really sure how.
I was playing the best football of my career at the time, finishing top scorer in Italy three year's running. There were other good players around but I think I was the best at that time.
Beckham in Paris will certainly be good for shopping. I love this player but he is not the footballer he was. And if he comes to Paris now it will be to do something other than football.
What Zidane can do with a football, Maradona could do with an orange.
Players suffer coaching changes all the time; it's life in the NFL.
I had to wait nine days for a letter that said a lot of very silly things.
I think the next United manager is already at the club. It could be either Ryan Giggs or Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, who isn't at the club.
I was good at football and cricket at school. My dad said, 'Son, be an architect,' and I came to Melbourne passionate about becoming an architect.
I don't like Utah. In fact, I hate them. I hate everything about them. I hate their program, their fans. I hate everything
There's one sure way to stop us from scoring ... give us the ball near the goal line.
The FA would remove him tomorrow if they had a spine, but clearly, in former lives, were cruel to jellyfish which is why they have returned as them now.
