Tottenham set a points and victories record in my first season, missed out on the Champions League by one point and had a great run in the Europa League. In the second season, at the time I left we had more points than in the previous campaign.
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
It can be said that the first half of the marathon is 20 miles long; the second half, 6.2 more.
If you look at the great tight ends in this league, the first thing that stands out is touchdowns. Just like at fantasy football. That's where a lot of guys get the respect, with touchdowns... That's the 'fantasy points' that everyone points out.
Half a league Half a league Half a league onward With a hey-nonny-nonny And a hot cha-cha.
I played with Joey Mullen back in Salt Lake City before he got called up to St. Louis. He was the first player ever to score 20 goals in the American League and 20 in the NHL. I've kept in contact with him and he's a great guy.
Half our standards come from our first masters, and the other half from our first loves.
I was in a struggling team in League One and I've seen how tough it is when you are trying to scrape out points at the bottom of the league.
When I was in Spain, I remember United being eight points ahead of City with only six games but they still lost that title. So in the Premier League, anything can happen. You never know because anything can happen whether you are in front or behind the opponent.
My job's about the accumulation of points over a 10-month season. And if you're with a team expected to be in the bottom half of the Premier League it's always going to be tough. There's going to be periods when you go up and down.
It was in 1942 and I flew from St. Louis to Mexico City. I had just gotten married and we were on our honeymoon. I hit .397 and led the Mexican League with 20 home runs and was named the MVP of the league. It's when I realized I could compete with anyone at any level.
When you are going for every trophy, it is always good to have as many points as early as possible in the Champions League, and then you can concentrate on the league and the Carling Cup.
In the Premier League, I think if you win your first five games, you're in the fight, because here in every game, you can lose or drop points.
To win this league, the toughest league in the country, and to be outright champs is a tribute to their effort. It's a great lesson in life for our guys. It shows anything is possible.
The first half of our lives are ruined by our parents and the second half by our children.
I'd spent three and a half years at Swansea, played my first Premier League game there.
