Pre Match Press
Conference Highlights |
 |
"The development of
Spurs is an interesting one because I can't
remember, and I'm sure I'm right, ever taking United
to the Lane with them challenging for the league. I
might be wrong, but I can't remember them
challenging for the league in my time here. That's
the change in the fortunes of Tottenham under Harry
and they've got some exciting players.
"Sunday's game is a big challenge for us. We've got
few tough away games in the second half of the
season, but you have to get through them." |
|
|
On returning players
"Wayne and Nemanja have both trained well this
week and should be fit for Sunday. Edwin is a little
bit behind them, but he should train today and I
think he'll be okay," |
|
|
ON Ryan Giggs
His [Ryan Giggs's] fitness was fantastic last
week, he was going for the whole 90 minutes up and
down the pitch, and he's been doing that for two
decades... There is no other player that's ever done
that or ever likely to do that... He's quite an
amazing man. |

Rio on Berbatov
“If I made The Godfather: Part IV, I’d put Dimitar
Berbatov in there as a Mafia boss,”
“He looks exactly like Andy Garcia and he actually
thinks he is in The Godfather movies half the time.
“Obviously, the first thing you need is a good
plot,” he said. “Then you need a believable
gangster,” which Ferdinand obviously believes
Berbatov is |
