He can say exactly what he thinks of the job I’ve done. It’s a million per cent not a problem for me.

At no time did I use abusive language.

The boy is a really influential playmaker and you can’t have too many of those. This is a massive signing at the club for sure. I’m delighted with the way things are working out because...

If we had won today we could have almost put it to bed because it would have shattered the other teams. We’ve got to pick ourselves up again.

We are ready to have a real go at them.

I’ve never been in this situation before. My teams might have let a few in at the other end but they always score plenty.

They are a massive three points,

I’d love to have seen one of them get the job…give it to any of them and I’d fancy us to win the (2008) European championship when they do take over from Eriksson because the...

I want players who know what it means to Pompey fans to try and stay up.

There has not been one problem. Clive does not come in and tell me ‘you should do that’.

The referee has done us, he had a terrible time of it,

We lost Stefanovic and O’Neil so we had to reshuffle, but it paid off.

Jamie Ashdown has been great for me – and having someone so experienced around can only bring him on because he is a very good young goalkeeper in a difficult situation.

It was a terrific point, a massive point for us. That’s five games unbeaten and that’s great at this stage of the season.

He doesn’t deserve that. He’ll answer them back with a couple of goals, for sure.

Jose won’t let him come but I would have taken him. They need their players for the Champions League so there is little chance of Glen coming.

I would give anything to be able to put it to bed. It takes your life over but I’m only looking forward to the end of the season if we can pull it off because...

Although I would like Glen I’m not sure Chelsea will loan him out to us. That’s something we have to look at after the weekend.

It is about deciding what is a blatant dive and what is not.

As soon as anyone interferes with what I do I’ll be out of here,

But having said all that, we can still beat them.

He trained all week, played in the reserves and said he felt really good. Then he came in on Friday with a back injury.

It was a good time to play them, but what a run by us and what a great situation we are in now. The players are up for it and so are our supporters, but...

He (Walcott) is a talent,

This is a massive signing at the club for sure.

I had to throw a team together at Christmas.

I’m delighted to get three quality players I really needed and wanted.

I will now spend a short period of time to rest, recharge my batteries before contemplating my future

We were really in the driving seat at 1-0 up,

At no stage did I ever swear. I just said to the fourth official, asked him why the goal was allowed. He said – how you would talk to a six-year-old at school if you...

Had we had another injury to one of our central defenders, I would have had to put a full-back in there – and neither of them can head the ball!

We deserved to win. There was no doubt about that. We were by far the better team but it didn’t happen so we’ve got to go again.

He’s got one of the loveliest touches I’ve seen in a big man

I was unsettled anyway, so it wasn’t as if Milan’s comments unsettled me at all. I never felt settled in all my time there unfortunately.

It is something I have been thinking about for a while. I made it without any pressure from the chairman or the board.

He’s quick and strong, can play and join in with other people.

He tweaked a hamstring and we took him off hoping it would not be too late to save him doing more damage.

The boy is really an influential playmaker, and you can’t have too many of those. This is a massive signing.

He may turn into a top manager, he may not, only time will tell. But there is absolutely no problem.

Jamie has been forced to stop playing, otherwise he could have ended up a cripple,

I was looking out there with two minutes to go thinking ‘Don’t do this to me again’.

He is an exciting player with terrific pace, strength and skill,

The whole thing is a lot of old tosh. It is not true. But let them investigate if they want; let them charge us if they want – I don’t care.

When he picked the ball up, I’d be a liar if I said I thought he would score. I thought he was going to head it!

I never wanted to sell him but there is a good player in Germany who I would have liked to have signed on loan but that isn’t going to happen now by the look of...

I still think we have a big chance of pulling clear.

He’s out. He’s done a hamstring and it could be a few weeks. He came in 10 minutes before kick-off after going out for a kick-about and it doesn’t look good.

He is coming in to learn. He’s coming in to pick people’s brains and I’m happy with that. But I am the manager and I pick the team and recommend the players.
