The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.
If you are first you are first. If you are second, you are nothing.
It's to remind our lads who they're playing for, and to remind the opposition who they're playing against. (on the 'This Anfield' plaque)
A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and then make sure that you are.
In my time at Anfield we always said we had the best two teams on Merseyside - Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.
If a player is not interfering with play or seeking to gain an advantage, then he should be.
Liverpool was made for me and I was made for Liverpool.
Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I'm a special one.
We are on top at the moment, but not because of the club's financial power. We are in contention for a lot of trophies because of my hard work.
Everybody was waiting for Chelsea not to win every game and one day when we lose there will be a holiday in the country. But we are ready for that.
Players lose you games, not tactics. There's so much crap talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes.
If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just pop it in the net and we'll discuss your options afterwards.
I want to build a team that's invincible, so that they have to send a team from bloody Mars to beat us.
I found the support inside Old Trafford has been terrific and, if there was ever a show of support for the football club and team, it was in this game. Inside Old Trafford it was terrific, it really was.

The goal is to win. It's not about making money. I have many much less risky ways of making money than this (buying Chelsea football club). I don't want to throw my money away, but it's really about having fun and that means success and trophies.
I love this game, I love this sport, I love this league. Why don't I get my own team? (English Premiership football club)
I'm realising my dream of owning a top football club. Some will doubt my motives, others will think I'm crazy.
Andrew is an integral part of the team and he is staying at my football club. The reality is I need him to score the goals that will get us promoted.
It is customary for columnists to complain about the excesses of Premiership footballers, whenever - as happens regularly - there is an incident involving some combination of sex, drugs, drink, violence and the constabulary. But modern footballers have a lot of both money and disposable time, a combination that has proved a recipe for personal disaster throughout history. And these incidents take place generally round night clubs rather than football clubs. The average Premiership player who turned up for work drunk would have a career-expectancy measurable in minutes.
