I don't have any intention to resign.

Brazil is a fantastic football country.

I played a lot of tennis when I was young.

You can't flirt with relegation every year.

It's very hard to be happy when you've lost.

I quite liked Dostoyevsky when I was younger.

It does get hot in England from time to time.

Andy Johnson was literally banjoed out of the game

I like Philip Roth, John Updike, and Richard Yates.

Luckily, my age doesn't ever come into my thoughts.

People are entitled to say what they feel sometimes.

The important thing is to take each game as it comes.

I've got to be honest with you: I don't regard 29 as old.

Systems win you nothing, and football players win you games.

All managers have someone they lean on and take advice from.

I have worked long and hard to reach the level I have reached.

I speak five languages: English, Swedish, French, Italian, and German.

For goal-scorers and centre-forwards, confidence does play a big part.

We all saw it coming. Arsenal's youth policy has always been very good.

I'm not prepared to make any comments on the World Cup in Qatar in 1922.

Fans jump on your bandwagon and desert you when you hit the harder times.

Achievements are often more interesting to you when you look back on them.

I'm always disappointed when we lose, and it's happened quite a few times.

I am both proud and excited at the prospect of working as the Liverpool manager.

If success is about winning the league, there will always be 19 disappointed clubs.

When you focus the spotlight so much on one person, I think it's very, very dangerous.

I'm a football manager, a football coach; I can't be expected to pontificate on everything.

I don't own photograph albums - the pictures that are important to me are etched in my mind.

The last thing you want as a striker is the opposing team putting all 10 players behind the ball.

New faces, maybe perking up the squad and giving you another arrow to your bow - that can be a help.

We believe defending is very much a team job, and we can't just rely on a back four and a goalkeeper.

I don't think there are many jobs that would have tempted me away from Fulham, to be perfectly honest.

I am not only privileged to work for the FA and England: I have enjoyed working for the FA and England.

I don't think you sign a four-year contract in the Premier League and then go to China at the age of 26.

It's an achievement I can be happy about - if you call getting old and still being in a job an achievement.

As far as I know, Fulham were never for sale during my time there. Mohamed Al Fayed never wanted to sell Fulham.

You are never quite sure how it will go, and even after a thousand games or so, that tense feeling is still there.

A lot of the players who've done so well aren't necessarily the big names: James Tomkins, Luka Milivojevic to name two.

I don't like talking about not getting what you deserve, because that has no part to play in football. You get what you get.

It hasn't always been a Premier League ride for Crystal Palace supporters. They're there to support us through the hard times.

It's very flattering that those who have assessed my work over the years think that I have the qualities to be an England manager.

I was so fully involved in football and building a career that I didn't spend nearly enough time with my son when he was growing up.

Most teams - whether they like it or not against Manchester City - you're going to find yourself quite often penned in your own half.

As far as I'm concerned, if you're only going to call managers who have won a trophy any good, then basically, you have four or five.

I enjoyed Wembley like all the managers before me, and I would hope that games would still be played there by the England national team.

Hindsight does always serve the purpose of putting you in the right, and if you don't have it, you find yourself very often in the wrong.

When you have been lucky enough to move up the ladder, all you see, really, is the slide back down. You don't see the further steps upwards.

With a national team, you've just got to be even more focused on what's most important because the time you've got with the players is limited.

I've got to that stage in my life where, difficult decisions I don't have to make, I push them into the future until such time I have to make them.

The day it becomes impossible for teams like Palace to get results against City, the league might as well just fold up, and we'll do everything on paper.
