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

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

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

You're as old as you feel.

All you can do when you are given a chance to play for England is to go out against whoever that opponent may be and do it very well. And if you do that, you get yourself in the forefront of the manager's mind.

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 don't think any job is impossible.

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

Maybe I see things too naively at times.

The one thing we have to remember about Fernando Torres is that he's a human being who has come in for an enormous amount of criticism, not least during the World Cup from people in Spain and around the world.

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

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

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

I don't have any intention to resign.

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.

All of the top managers I have come across during my career and befriend, they suffer as much with the defeats and when things don't go their way late in life as they did early in life.

People are entitled to say what they feel sometimes.

Talk is talk; action on the field is action on the field.

It does get hot in England from time to time.

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

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

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

I have been in football a long time.

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