We are blessed here at this football club by a really forward-thinking board that shares a vision of going places
I want to get into every avenue of this football club.
we have a great aspiration to win a lot of football matches this season, next season and after that.
Your timing has got to be right, your punctuality, your respect, your discipline, your honesty and enthusiasm, your injury prevention, your post match analysis, your recovery work – all that has got to be absolutely synchronised for the top clubs to give you players.

saying a horse rather than horses would seem to suggest he is being deferential towards an equine interviewer

What they don't want to see is people who give the ball away and then sulk and get their bottom lip out.

We've got two guys who think they're footballers. They're centre-backs and their living is to head it and kick it.

Adebayor has not been playing, so he did not require much motivating. You put him back in because of what he has done in history.

We really did want three points today. I said to the players at half-time, one thing you know I really wanted was a clean sheet, a 45-minute clean sheet.We stood firm for 37 minutes which is important

What really upset me was the way that the team almost rounded on Daysie (Stevenage goal keeper Chris Day) looking for an excuse. That isn't the togetherness that's the Stevenage togetherness, that's not the togetherness that wins you anything.
You've got to make sure you get winning people with winning attitudes together. There's plenty of them here, but unfortunately they're not necessarily the stronger characters.

They've scored four from their 10 attempts and we've scored one from our 19. I think the attempts on goal is a fair reflection of the afternoon.
― William Bloody Swygart, Sunday, 5 January 2014 21:53 (ten years ago) link
I think we are seeing a lot of players not responding in the right way to the pressure of having to win. That's part of their learning curve. They've got to understand that we're not here to mess about; we are here to put trophies on the table.

You can listen to whoever you want to listen to, but it's far better to have the knowledge in your own head.

the situation of how the first goal came about disappoints you from the point of view of indiscipline.

We're looking at our clocks and those five minutes [of extra time] have gone, and in that extra fifty seconds they go and equalise.

In our situation you want to have a win.
A lot of players first half played much too tense and if you play and you are too tense it is very difficult to play.

We've got young kids on the bench, so I thought we battled manfully
Yes, I think it's a yellow card, but we're not playing in my day or Derek's day. If it had been in that we'd have played on, but we're playing in the day now and it's a yellow card.
