"I think he was an angry man. He must
have been disturbed for some reason. I
think you have got to cut through the
venom of it and hopefully he'll reflect and
understand what he said was absolutely
ridiculous." (on ex-Liverpool manager
Rafael Benitez)
.

"We have people coming here to admire
the scenery and enjoy their crisps." (on
Man Utd's home support).
.

"Do you think I would get into a contract
with that mob. Jesus Christ, no chance. I
wouldn't sell them a virus." (on the
possibility of selling Cristiano Ronaldo
to Real Madrid)
.
"Inzaghi was born in an offside position."
(on Italian striker Filippo Inzaghi).
.
"He's a novice - he should keep his
opinions to Japanese football." (on
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger in
1996).
On Ryan Giggs "I remember the
first time I saw him. He was 13 and
just floated over the ground like a
cocker spaniel chasing a piece of
silver paper in the wind."

On Gary Neville "If he was an inch
taller he'd be the best centre-half
in Britain. His father is 6ft 2in – I'd
check the milkman."
.
On Paul Ince "I used to have a
saying that when a player is at his
peak, he feels as though he can
climb Everest in his slippers. That's
what he was like."
.
On Italians "When an Italian tells
me it's pasta on the plate I check
under the sauce to make sure.
They are the inventors of the
smokescreen."
.
On the 1999 Champions League
triumph "I can't believe it. I can't
believe it. Football. Bloody hell."
.
On media criticism of Juan
Sebastián Verón "On you go. I'm no
fucking talking to you. He's a
fucking great player. Yous are
fucking idiots."
.
On Liverpool "My greatest
challenge is not what's happening
at the moment, my greatest
challenge was knocking Liverpool
right off their fucking perch. And
you can print that."
.
On the 2003 title race "It's getting
tickly now – squeaky-bum time, I
call it."
.
On kicking a boot into David
Beckham's face in 2003 "It was a
freakish incident. If I tried it 100
or a million times it couldn't
happen again. If I could I would
have carried on playing!"
.
On Filippo Inzaghi "That lad must
have been born offside."
.
On Arsène Wenger "They say he's
an intelligent man, right? Speaks
five languages. I've got a 15-year-
old boy from the Ivory Coast who
speaks five languages!"
.
On his former charges as managers
"It can be difficult to pinpoint who
would make it as a manager. For
instance, nobody here thought
Mark Hughes would become a
manager, never in a million years,
and we all thought Bryan Robson
was a certainty to be a top
manager."
.
On the referee Alan Wiley "The
pace of the game demanded a
referee who was fit. It is an
indictment of our game. You see
referees abroad who are as fit as
butcher's dogs. We have some who
are fit. He wasn't fit. He was taking
30 seconds to book a player. He
was needing a rest. It was
ridiculous."
.
On José Mourinho "He was
certainly full of it, calling me boss
and big man when we had our
post-match drink after the first leg.
But it would help if his greetings
were accompanied by a decent
glass of wine. What he gave me
was paint-stripper."
.
On Rafael Benítez, reacting to the
Spaniard's infamous 'facts' press
conference "I think he was an
angry man. He must have been
disturbed for some reason. I think
you have got to cut through the
venom of it and hopefully he'll
reflect and understand what he
said was absolutely ridiculous."
.
On whether Liverpool would win
the title in 2007 "You must be
joking. Do I look as if I'm a
masochist ready to cut myself?
How does relegation sound
instead?"
.
On Old Trafford "The crowd were
dead. It was like a funeral out
there."
.
On Manchester City's Carlos Tévez
poster "It's City, isn't it? They are a
small club, with a small mentality.
All they can talk about is
Manchester United, that's all
they've done and they can't get
away from it."
.
On City again "Sometimes you have
a noisy neighbour. You cannot do
anything about that. They will
always be noisy. You just have to
get on with your life, put your
television on and turn it up a bit
louder."
.
On Wayne Rooney's transfer
request "Sometimes you look in a
field and you see a cow and you
think it's a better cow than the one
you've got in your own field. It's a
fact. Right? And it never really
works out that way."
.
On Cristiano Ronaldo to Real
Madrid "Do you think I would enter
into a contract with that mob?
Absolutely no chance. I would not
sell them a virus. That is a 'No' by
the way. There is no agreement
whatsoever between the clubs."
.
On Manchester United's 19th
league title "It's not so much
passing Liverpool. It's more
important that United are the best
team in the country in terms of
winning titles."
.
And on their 20th "Look at me – it's
taken 10 years off me today. It's
these tablets, they're great!"
