A fantastic strike. He'll do well to hit another one in his career. |
Ashley Cole deserves his place in the England team on his performances for Arsenal over the last four or five years - but Paul is without a shadow of a doubt the most able replacement. |
At home teams tend to sit back and we probably lack that extra bit of quality at times to break them down. But as I said we are looking to next season and it is something we will have to sort out. |
Bobby has made brilliant progress in the past 12 months and I'm very pleased with his contribution this season. |
Chances have to go in. Marlon Harewood did not have his best game for us. I thought the second goal flattered them, but they are a good side and had a lot of possession. |
Character is something I do look for in players, |
Confidence is high. We feel disappointed that we have not won. We thought we would nick a goal. |
David is in the same mould as several other young players we have developed in recent years, |
Dean is a big worry for us. |
Dean's a real honest boy and I think he'll be sweating right up to the game. It's not a pull, he just felt it, and we have to protect ourselves at the moment. |
Even the Newcastle fans were having a chuckle, they couldn't believe it was a sending-off. |
He has been troubled with injuries over the last two seasons but we are satisfied they are all cleared up now. Outside Manchester United we consider we have the best backroom staff in the game. So I am confident we can give him all the support he needs. |
He is a wily player, very clever. He is very experienced and you have to always know where he is in the box. He is still very much a force to be reckoned with. |
He knows I want him to stay on, but it will be a playing contract only. My staff are terrific and it would be unfair on them to put Ted into any of their roles, but we will continue to feed off him. |
He was world class. I think we knew that Chelsea were gearing up for this game after they had been some criticism at their door. The 10 players they had showed world class performances today. |
