Being in politics is like being a football coach. You have to be smart enough to understand the game, and dumb enough to think it's important.
I don't like people who get into fights about football - or anything else.
Football is what keeps me going, what makes me prosper, and what will keep me straight.
English football is so physical and fast that when you see a space, you have to go into it with all your speed.
And of course in America you've got American football and baseball and all those other ball games, soccer has become a little niche that the women have kind of filled.
Unless you're a true prodigy, you're going to have to practice for a while being bad before you get any good. And it will seem like a waste of time. I remember that feeling well. But don't worry about wasting time, because it'll be so worth it. It's ...
I had a dream about you. We were in a band. I was the lead singer, guitar player, saxophonist, harpist, violinist, bassist, cellist, harmonica player, pianist, and drummer. Oh, and I played the trumpet. And you, you had the important role—you playe...

I just didn't want to walk away from football without knowing what it meant to be a manager, or even wondering what it was like to be sacked.
Every footballer wants to play forever. And if you are going to keep on playing - to enjoy it to the full - you want to win games, and as a result, trophies.
