The Premier League and the World Cup are equally important to me.

The Premier League is the place to be.

Of course El Clasico is a great night, but I don't have an overwhelming desire to play in that game.

I love compliments; of course I do. Everybody wants to receive compliments. But the team is the important thing, and I'd rather win things as a team than finish up with individual honours.

Everyone has an image of a premature child, but until you live it and experience it, you just don't know how bad it is.

The Champions League is the most important competition; it's fundamental to be involved in it.

People say I should go to Real Madrid or Barcelona, but my team is Las Palmas.

City came in strongly for me, put their cards on the table, and what I have found out since is that every game in England is a privilege - the atmosphere, the fans, the interest that surrounds it. Every time I go out on the pitch, I know I've made the right decision.

You gain know-how from playing matches because every moment of a football match has its own rhythm.

Winners don't believe in fate like others do. They simply cannot accept defeat.

I think, in football, you have to go through difficulties.

Chicharito is a really good player, and his finishing ability is as good as there is anywhere.

Manchester United was a club with great traditions, traditions where they tended to pick British managers. That tradition has now gone.

Clubs are much stronger than any one individual.

The Merseyside derby is a terrific game full of passion, full of quality.

Supporters don't like the idea of people going to ground too easily. Everyone who has ever played football, everyone who's been involved, would hate that. You'd be saying, 'Get Up!'

At the top end I do think it's time we have goal-line technology, I'm not mad on other technology but certainly goal-line technology.

Mistakes can come at any time; the thing is to make sure you don't make too many.

I have no regrets about taking the United job. When you get offered a job like that, you take it.

Danny Welbeck was great for us at Manchester United.

Football has always been in my blood. It's more than just an occupation, but as you get a little bit older and wiser, you want to be able to pick and choose and make sure you get the right club at the right time.

When I took over at Everton, the challenge for us was to try to go toe-to-toe with a club having success in Europe and sometimes competing for the Premier League.

I'm a great believer in the lower leagues, the pyramid system, but there is mileage in having B-teams in England with young players playing competitively.

It took time at Everton to build a team so that when we did go to United or Arsenal or Liverpool, we went with a good chance of getting a result.
