Yes, Roger Hunt misses a few, but he gets in the right place to miss them.
Football (soccer) is a matter of life and death, except more important.
If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just pop it in the net and we'll discuss your options afterwards.
I am in a job where you always look in front of you. Unfortunately, the older you get, the less distance there is in front of you...
If I were going to war I would want to be alongside an Englishman not a Frenchman. The Frenchman would think too much.
I literally tried every sport and was miserable. Soccer couldn't hold my attention. I couldn't figure skate. I'm afraid to swim. So I did dance for five years. It came a time where I was getting a little bit bored with it.
The philosophy of a lot of European teams, even in home matches, is not to give a goal away.
The club continued to make significant player decisions without involving me. In the end such a breach of trust and confidence meant that I had no option but to leave.
There was huge pressure, especially before the big games. Not many people believed in us, but we believed in ourselves. We wanted to do something good and we did.
Ibiza is a popular vacation place for a lot of the players in Spain. If you go in the summer, there are some of the world's most famous movie and music stars, so nobody cares about soccer players.
Coaching soccer, like disciplines including journalism, you'll always learn if you're open to it, you'll learn from your players. If that's being smart, fair enough.
Players taught to watch the man with the ball leaves them totally unprepared for the next move, which is always dictated by a player without the ball.
The game must have been past my bed-time.
Whichever country you are, if you lose games you are criticised. It's only when it's England it's like a new world war.
You don't look for jobs. You don't phone up 10 clubs and say, Here I am. You are offered the job. I was in Benfica many years ago. I was leaving the training ground and I had a car after me. It went on for 10 minutes. Anyhow, he stopped and I stopped and he said, I'm from the Italian embassy. Ah yes, and what do you want? I want your phone number because Roma wants you as a manager next season. Three months later I was sitting on the bench in Roma. I don't think the rest of working society works like football.
But I think the Champions League Final puts a massive pressure on every player and the manager, but we're enjoying the pressure and hopefully we can go there and win it.
The fans have played a massive part in getting us to where we are, but the job's not finished.
I think it all goes down to who plays the better football on the night.
I will be the one lifting that trophy, not Paolo Maldini. Imagine me hoisting the trophy. It is an image I have in my mind and I want to make it a reality. We have world-class players and, believe me, they are in the mood to do it. The atmosphere around the club at the moment is just top-class.
Germany are a very difficult team to play... they have eleven internationals out there today.
It sounds blase but there is a certain amount of luck. We'd all like to take a certain amount of credit for Kevin Doyle... I can't really remember what it was I particularly liked about Kevin when I watched him in Ireland. I had five pints of Guinness in the afternoon and it was all a bit blurred.
Behind every footballing tough guy there lurks a mincing aesthete with a love of art for art's sake, football for football's sake. A win without art is somehow less than a victory; less, almost, than a beautiful defeat. In football, the romantic and the pragmatist are ever at war in the same breast. Beauty, it must be understood here, is not Barcelona's aim but their method. And last night they were ready to use this method at every opportunity - quick-fire passing of wit and purpose in the danger areas, seeking always to produce an unlooked-for player in a position of threat.
Tottenham, and I hope the English fans will forgive me, are a club in mid-table and I need more.
Well, either side could win it, or it could be a draw.
I'm a total soccer freak. I total soccer freak. Absolute total.
