If somebody in the crowd spits at you, you've got to swallow it.

The World Cup is every four years, so it's going to be a perennial problem.

Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win.

I am not leaving twitter. If the mindless few defeat the thoughtful majority we are all doomed.

I just think to be a manager you've got to live and breathe and have this incredible enthusiasm for football, the whole thing. And while I love the game, and it's been a large part of my life, it's not the only thing in my life.

I know I am extraordinarily lucky to be doing what I am doing. I have worked hard along the way and I have been blessed too. I have had a great life.

I know I could never be in a pop band. I honestly have an appalling voice.

I try to avoid saying 'fantastic' too often and 'obviously' is a dangerous word for all broadcasters.

I was only interested in scoring goals. I wasn't interested in anything else.

I was quite good at football once, although other than that my speciality would be maths. I'm great at sudokus and find all the spin-off games pretty easy too.

I wouldn't want to go out six nights a week and watch somebody's reserves playing to check out a footballer to see if we're going to buy him.

I'm disappearing from twitter for a while. Need a break from the bile. Local prejudice just seems to bring out the worst in some people.

I've only got a Saturday job so my weekdays are generally pretty free.

My eldest son George had acute myeloid leukaemia when he was a tiny baby, he is now 20 and doing very well. He is a mini-miracle in many ways.

My fiancee's brother-in-law was recently paralysed in an accident and it really brought home the fact that thousands of young people live with spinal injuries. It's an issue I wish had more coverage.

Ooh, it's too embarrassing to share my innermost romantic secrets - although I have written Danielle the odd poem. If anything they are more comedic than romantic. They used to be well-received but that was before she started studying Shakespeare at drama college. Now I feel so inept.

That's one of the magical things about the Olympics, Team GB will have someone challenging in a sport that we've never watched and all of a sudden it'll be the biggest thing ever.

The best, most successful managers in the modern era are those who can keep a player happy even if he is not in the team. Given the size of the squads and the use of rotation nowadays, that's tougher than it's ever been.

The train's always full of football fans going up to see matches. Oh, they make sure I hear their points of view all right. They all want to have their say about their team, and make their opinions known.

The truth is I don't feel too bad for my age. I actually have a better shape now than I used to.

The whole kiss-and-tell thing is a negative approach that often happens in a World Cup. We will see negative stories about the players and it can affect their confidence and the overall performance of the national team on the pitch, let alone the bid to actually stage the competition.

We are in the entertainment business and we all know if you are top of the tree you get the big money. Those of us who have been in it are the fortunate ones but we understand that we probably don't deserve it as much as the nurses or teachers.

We have got too many kids around the house to have a romantic meal at home. But Danielle is a fantastic cook. She does a brilliant lasagne, great roasts and a great chilli dish. She knows the way to my heart.

When I see old photos of me on the beach I don't look too bad... but it's hard trying to breathe in for such a long time when I spot the photographers!

When you're winning games, everyone thinks everything the manager says and does is fantastic. Then it goes the other way, and those earlier criticisms of players can backfire.

You've got no chance of reaching the top if you're just playing for money.

Ferrari or Lamborghini. Never fancied one of those too flash for me. I dont really like seeking too much attention.

Football (soccer) is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans win.

Today's merger makers are not ad people; they're building communications companies.

We do not discuss the anatomical, physiological, and mental characteristics of man considered as an individual; but we are interested in the diversity of these traits in groups of men found in different geographical areas and in different social classes.

It's really hard to name a band.

My thoughts and opinions are valuable.

I was definitely born under an evil star. I have just been thrown out of the inn where I was staying, naked as a worm.

I had to find some clarity about approaching life more spiritually. I think I'm kind of dense, and it makes me pull the process into mind and struggle over it in finding the path.

I have planted over 6,000 trees at home in Scotland, some of them oak. I'd like my children to be able to watch them grow.

I think the first thing I consider is whether I like the script. Once that is done, the next thing I look for is my part in the movie. Many a times you come across good offers, but the part they are offering might not be challenging. So, I don't take up that film.

I think I'm realising more and more that I've got a job to do and I can't be doing the big nights out and working to my full potential the next day. I feel much better for it.

Scott McAdams is a nice guy, but I don't know that most Alaskans believe that he's electable.

Beliefs drive behaviors and self-limiting beliefs lead to self-defeating behaviors.  Believe in yourself and your abilities.

At times, when I reach my saturation point, I go to some random place and throw my phone away.

Chuck Daly was a man and a coach who everyone had great respect for, and to be recognized in his memory is very special.

Banning guns addresses a fundamental right of all Americans to feel safe.

There once was a time when all people believed in God and the church ruled. This time was called the Dark Ages

Our children are only as brilliant as we allow them to be.

A successful individual typically sets his next goal somewhat but not too much above his last achievement. In this way he steadily raises his level of aspiration.

'Do the Right Thing' was like the first film where I really felt comfortable working with actors.

Too little is it considered, while we gaze on aristocratic beauty, how much good food, soft lying, warm wrapping, ease of mind, have to do with the attractions which command our admiration.

When I got to college I simply decided that I could speak French, because I just could not spend any more time in French classes. I went ahead and took courses on French literature, some of them even taught in French.
