I felt we got what we deserved. |
I have been told about the banners. That comes with football now. It can happen to any of us at any time. There were 32,000 people in the ground and the vast majority of those people like myself want to take Aston Villa forward. |
I thought big decisions went for them tonight but they played good football. In the second half they were better than us. |
I thought we were poor today. I've a good bunch of lads who let themselves down today...we gave a lot of easy goals away. |
I told him what he did was no way to treat a Dubliner and his ex-boss. I told him he should have stayed on the bloody bench. |
I told the players that I didn't want them thinking they'd done well at getting beaten 2-1. I came here for points and we didn't succeed. |
I was a young lad when I was growing up. |
I was at Ireland against France and Thierry Henry scored a wonderful goal out of nothing. Chelsea have that bit of magic. |
I wasn't at the game myself, so I've had to speak Roy [Aitken] and Kevin [MacDonald] who were in charge, |
I will never keep someone, at any club I am at, who wants to leave the club. That is the bottom line. I signed Nobby Solano and I think for the price we paid I could not believe we did not have any more opposition for him. |
I wish Graham the best of luck. There is absolutely no bitterness on my part. |
I'd say now that he'll miss the Southampton game, and that is clearly frustrating him. It's a blow for us, too, but he's just not right yet. |
I'm not denying that one of the reasons we got the result was because he made good saves. I thought our centre-backs played well and the goalkeeper did well and any team that comes here will need that. |
I'm not going to speculate on something that's pure speculation. I'll try to deal in fact and I haven't received a call about any of my players. |
I'm not saying we were going to win it, but the first goal in the second half had to come from us and we gave an absolute joke of a goal away, |
