WHO SAID?

1 "I'm going. That has been settled for some time now. I was asked by a reporter about my retirement and I said, as I would about anything, that you never know what might happen. That's true, but it doesn't mean I was thinking about changing my plans. I've said before that it's my intention to give up managing at the end of the season. That still goes."

2 "It is difficult to explain what sort of excitement this horse gives me, but there is one difference with football. I give the orders there."

3 "They may have a Tiger but we have 12 lions."

4 "It was a physical game. We came here as boys, we leave as men. And we will see England in Perth at the World Cup."

5 "I hope every kid playing in their local club in Australia will realise you can dream, and if you put in a lot of hard work, your dream is not out of reach."

6 "I cannot and will not tolerate being spoken to with that level of abuse, so I sent him home. He is one of the best players in the world, but he is a disruptive influence."

7 "There was a lot of support out there for me. I thought it would be really quiet after London, but it wasn't at all. I was amazed how many British people were out there."

8 "My foot was aching a little bit but it felt OK during the match. I was pleased with the way I played, especially in the first half, but I felt a bit tired in the second half."

9 "We'd like to play a tough series. The last one we had was India and even though we lost we felt satisfied with it. Some of the series we have had have felt a little hollow and we would like to come up against a side that makes it tough to win."

10 "There is no consolation for this. I made my only mistake out of seven games and it was brutally punished. But we must not let one unlucky goal destroy our memories of this World Cup."
