Sir Alex's All-Time Best Quotes


Here are some of his most memorable quotes:
On his mission after being appointed to the post:
"My greatest challenge is not what's happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their f***ing perch. And you can print that."
On Manchester City's emergence as a Premier League force:
"There has been a lot of expectation on Manchester City and with the spending they have done, they have to win something. Sometimes you have a noisy neighbour and have to live with it. You can't do anything about them."
On Jose Mourinho:
"He was certainly full of it, calling me 'Boss' and 'Big Man' when we had our post-match drink after the first leg. But it would help if his greetings were accompanied by a decent glass of wine. What he gave me was paint-stripper."
On Arsene Wenger:
"They say he's an intelligent man, right? Speaks five languages. I've got a 15-year-old boy from the Ivory Coast who speaks five languages!"
On Rafael Benitez:
"I think he is very concerned about his CV, he refers to it quite a lot."
On his bust-up with Newcastle boss Alan Pardew:
"The press have had a field day. The only person they have not spoken to is Barack Obama because he is busy."
On the infamous incident during which former midfielder David Beckham was struck on the head by a flying boot:
"It was a freakish incident. If I tried it 100 or a million times it couldn't happen again. If I could I would have carried on playing!"
On the mind games employed by Italian teams:
"When an Italian tells me it's pasta on the plate, I check under the sauce to make sure. They are the inventors of the smokescreen."
On AC Milan striker Filippo Inzaghi:
"That lad must have been born offside."
On seeing Ryan Giggs as a schoolboy:
"I remember the first time I saw him. He was 13 and just floated over the ground like a cocker spaniel chasing a piece of silver paper in the wind."
On Wayne Rooney's decision to sign a new contract:
"Sometimes you look in a field and you see a cow and you think it's a better cow than the one you've got in the field."
On Real Madrid's hopes of signing Cristiano Ronaldo:
"Do you think I would get into a contract with that mob? Jesus Christ, no chance. I wouldn't sell them a virus."
On United's dramatic Champions League final victory over Bayern Munich in 1999:
"Football, bloody hell."
On retirement:
"The decision to retire is one that I have thought a great deal about and one that I have not taken lightly. It is the right time."

These are Said to Be the Best Goalkeepers in the World, Ranking from 1-25

25. Stephane Ruffier, Saint-Etienne Had Stephane Ruffier not sustained a groin injury in 2011, Monaco might never have been relegated to Ligue 2. But he did, and they were, and that summer the then-24-year-old goalkeeper joined Saint-Etienne, rebuffing Manchester City in the progress. This season he played all 38 Ligue 1 matches for Les Verts for a second season in succession, conceding just 32 goals as his side finished a surprising fifth in the standings and qualified for the Europa League. 24. Pepe Reina, Liverpool Only Joe Hart kept more Premier League clean sheets than Pepe Reina in 2012-13. In a season that saw Liverpool finish a disappointing seventh in the English top-flight, the 30-year-old managed to keep things respectable from a defensive standpoint, conceding only 34 goals and stopping 88 per cent of the shots he faced. To finish the season he conceded just a single goal in his last four matches. 23. Mariano Andujar, Catania Only Parma managed ...

This was the real happiness now from Ronaldo BBC football pundit Robbie Savage alikuwa uwanjani huku Bernabeu. (quoting from BBC SPORTS) "Maicon was not at the races at all in the first half at right-back. He was a passenger and it was like City were playing with 10 men. Cristiano Ronaldo kept coming inside him. "In the second-half, Vincent Kompany looked at what was happening and came across to that wing more. Ronaldo did not...
