“I can look back and think 'I'm just one of the luckiest people in the world'”
“Fail to prepare, prepare to fail”
“Even in the dressing room afterwards, I had no remorse. My attitude was, fuck him. What goes around comes around. He got his just rewards. He fucked me over and my attitude is an eye for an eye”
“I'd waited long enough. I fucking hit him hard. The ball was there (I think). Take that you cunt. And don't ever stand over me again sneering about fake injuries. And tell your pal [David] Wetherall there's some for him as well. I didn't wait for Mr Elleray to show the red card. I turned and walked to the dressing room”
“I was a bit annoyed with the first offer put to me. Deep down they must have known it wasn't something I could sign. Our dealings have to be realistic. I am not naive enough to settle for anything less than a reasonable valuation of my worth”
“I'm not one for holding grudges but this was a stupid mistake, a bad public relations exercise and something that should never have happened. I'm still waiting for my apology but I could be waiting a long time”
“The younger players have been let down by some of the more experienced players. They are just not leading. There is a shortage of characters in this team. It seems to be in this club that you have to play badly to be rewarded. Maybe that is what I should do when I come back. Play badly”
“Sometimes you wonder, do they understand the game of football? Away from home our fans are fantastic, I'd call them the hardcore fans. But at home they have a few drinks and probably the prawn sandwiches, and they don't realise what's going on out on the pitch. I don't think some of the people who come to Old Trafford can spell football, never mind understand it”
“That man can rot in hell for all I care”
“Before the game there was all this stuff about anti-racism and anti-bullying. It would be a good idea to start wearing wristbands for anti-diving”
“Just because you are paid £120,000 a week and play well for 20 minutes against Tottenham, you think you are a superstar”
“Patrick Vieira is 6 foot 4, and he starts having a go at Gary Neville, so I said, "come on have a go at me", that's it”
“so much, why don't you go play for them”
“Dwight's a clown and he's on an ego trip; he's brought this on himself. He's retired from international football about five times”
“If you are driving to work, don’t get into a car with Liam Miller because he gets involved in more car crashes than anybody I know.”
“Cloughie was dead right, absolutely. It was the best thing he ever did for me. It's good to get angry. It's an emotion and part of the game. It's good to go a bit mad but I don't throw teacups around. That's not my style - I'd rather throw punches”
“On a night we got beaten in the cup by Luton, the staff came in and said, ‘Clive Clarke has had a heart attack at Leicester’. I said, ‘Is he OK? I’m shocked they found one, you could never tell by the way he plays’.”
“Aggression is what I do. I go to war. You don't contest football matches in a reasonable state of mind”
“The amount of fights I've had in Cork would probably be another book. I mean, people go on about my problems off the field, but they don't even know the half of it.”
“Priorities have changed in football and [players] are being dictated to by their wives.”
“I’m not at Manchester United to keep everyone happy.”
“If you came down from the moon today and knew nothing about football you'd say United are an average Premier League side. Nothing more. They are Manchester United of the 1980s, they can be a decent cup team. I did fear the worst today and it could have been a lot more. Towards the end Liverpool just toyed with them. United were not at the races. I certainly believe a lot of the players playing for United today are not good enough for Manchester United”

“Ferguson came out afterwards and said he always did what was best by Manchester United. Nonsense. “His son Darren played for the club and won a league medal...[he was] very lucky[Alex Ferguson's] brother was the chief scout for Manchester United for a long time. I'm surprised his wife wasn't involved in the staff somewhere. Darren was [the manager] at Preston North End and lost his job. He had a couple of young players on loan from Manchester United, [but] guess what happens the next day? They're pulled out of Preston. Is that doing the best for Manchester United? Do me a favour.”
