The pressures are intense, because the rewards for success and the penalty for failure are more and more.

Potentially he could be. He scored the goal four years ago in France against Argentina that was extraordinary.

In '82 Brazil showed that you can't win the World Cup without a solid defense.

I don't expect to see them in the top six but I think of all the teams that have come up in previous seasons, I think Manchester City are the biggest club.

Even though they won't finish in the top four this season, they will still be of the contenders next season.

He's sharp, he can score and he doesn't worry about missing.

I think the reality is that, that money was probably badly spent.

When George Graham was there they complained, harking back to better days, but I think that's a fantasy.

The pressures are intense, because the rewards for success and the penalty for failure are more and more.

Everybody likes Brazil and we want the Brazilians to come out.

I think if Tottenham are going to be top four side, the fans and the club will need to get away from the philosophy of 'pretty football', that's got to go.

I think when people talk about ambition and talking to him, it might have seemed that he wasn't ambitious.

What I always do is just look at the players, look at the best 11 they can put on the pitch.

These guys live and breathe football; they get something out of going to the training ground every day.

The World Cup needs a brilliant Brazilian team.

Manchester City have been in the doldrums for a while, they came up and went straight back down again.

I played against the Brazilians in '82, who were definitely the best team never to have won the World Cup.

The boy can do anything, but to be the star of the World Cup you have got to get to the final and win it!

The Italians are very strong defensively. They showed in Euro 2000 how good defensively they are.

I don't think anyone enjoyed it. Apart from the people who watched it.

It's incredible considering the public perception that he was tight fisted and he was more than prudent, and lacked ambition to take Tottenham to where the fans wanted them to be.

We got stuffed 4-1, but it was just great to play against, it was like an education. You think you are half good and then you go and play against a side like that!

I had no plans once I finished my football career, which was a problem, so I had to go looking for work. Television was the one area that it was easier to get a job than anywhere else.

I hear people saying 'the way the game should be played'. Rubbish. That's the worst saying in football. You win the game, then worry about the way it should be played.

I only started concentrating on football as a career when I left school at 18. I played golf for the Scottish and British boys' teams.

I wouldn't say they're neglected, but everybody is going to grow old and we should be looking after the older generation more than we do at the moment.

People say I'm bad at a lot of things. One I agree with is that I'm a bad driver.

Achievement is not always success, while reputed failure often is. It is honest endeavor, persistent effort to do the best possible under any and all circumstances.

A failure establishes only this, that our determination to succeed was not strong enough.

I hate failure and that divorce was a Number One failure in my eyes. It was the worst period of my life. Neither Desi nor I have been the same since, physically or mentally.

Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.

It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.

The key to accepting responsibility for your life is to accept the fact that your choices, every one of them, are leading you inexorably to either success or failure, however you define those terms.

If those committed to the quest fail, they will be forgiven. When lost, they will find another way. The moral imperative of humanism is the endeavor alone, whether successful or not, provided the effort is honorable and failure memorable.

I believe my publisher has shown a great deal of faith in me over a lot of years but I'm not prepared to be so arrogant to say that the long-term literary value of my work would compensate them for a financial failure.

With failure, you just try again.

In God's world, for those who are in earnest, there is no failure. No work truly done, no word earnestly spoken, no sacrifice freely made, was ever made in vain.

The moral turpitude of the boys of today appears to center in their failure to concentrate on any particular objective long enough to obtain their maximum results.

Success and failure are greatly overrated. But failure gives you a whole lot more to talk about.

Failure is not our only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.

Don't come home a failure.

However things may seem, no evil thing is success and no good thing is failure.

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.

It is Basic Management 101 that if you reward failure you are going to get more failure, and if you want success you should reward success. But if you look at the way this administration has approached national security, they have kind of got that principle backwards.

A failure is a man who has blundered, but is not able to cash in the experience.

Spend enough time around success and failure, and you learn a reverence for possibility.
