To me, attacking football happens when Makelele gets the ball and passes it to the central defender who passes it to the right-back who comes forward and judges the situation. If he can do something he passes forward or runs with the ball, if not he gives it back to Makelele who builds the attack again. That is attacking football. In England attacking football is giving the ball to Makelele and having him hit it forward no matter what, even if everybody is marked.

Jose Mourinho

LeSean McCoy has become the most exciting player in the National Football League. I believe he’s the MVP this year.

Kurt Warner

Of course the Premier League is the most difficult league in the world because it's so even. I think you can't really compare other leagues with the Premier League. In the Premier League, every team can beat every team, and in football, that's something where you can have surprises.

Mesut Ozil

For those fed up with the lack of mystery at the top of the Premiership, could I refer you to the commanding heights of the Conference. The wide points gap between first and second says we are about to witness the return to the football league of Accrington Stanley. So legendary have they become that everyone across the generations knows them, yet even those of the certain age required (you'd be pushing 60) can scarcely believe they were ever there. What proof do we have that this most Garcia Marquez of football teams was, is and yet may truly be?

Peter Chapman

My favourite was 'Fantasy Football League.' I thought it would be the most exciting thing ever to be friends with Frank Skinner and David Baddiel.

Josh Widdicombe

Speed is what makes the Premiership exciting. The millions who would have watched Manchester United and Chelsea would have seen a non-stop game in which the pace was electric even though the first half was a non-event. You could see a better technical game in Spain but for sheer frenetic movement there is nothing that comes close... Pace is more critical in the Premiership than in any other major league and if you don't have pace, you have to compensate with power or ability in the air and since Shevchenko has no power and is not particularly good in the air, he is in trouble.

Alan Hansen

I love this game, I love this sport, I love this league. Why don't I get my own team? (English Premiership football club)

Roman Abramovich

I like the atmosphere in the Premier League. The teams play attacking football, and for a striker, that is even more attractive.

Alexandre Lacazette

Not everybody in this league is the most talented guy in this world, but they're able to stay in this league and make a good living for themselves because they work really hard at it and perfected certain things.

Danny Green

Not everybody is following every league in the world so the Champions League is a platform where everybody can see what you're still able to do.

Ryan Babel

The Football Association have always acted more as a referee than a governor. And the FA, aware the Premier League provide players for the England team, have always had too gentle a hand on the tiller. The result is that the Premier League are the tigers in the English football jungle everybody's scared of.

Gordon Taylor

I just love that in college football, we get these big nonconference matches early. It's exciting for everybody. It's exciting for the fans and the players as well.

Jesse Palmer

It's a dream for any player, having the opportunity to play in the Premier League. Everybody knows it's the most competitive league in the world. It's really great to follow it, as you can't predict who is going to win the trophy.

Lucas Moura

The bottom line is that I wanted to come back and play in the Premier League again and wake up on Saturday morning and really fancy getting out there and playing in front of this fantastic support, scoring goals and enjoying football. (on returning to the premiership)
