Even though I support the blue side of Manchester's football heritage, I don't really mind that wherever I go in the world it's not Manchester City that starts the conversation. 'Ah, yes, Manchester United,' is the response when I say where I come from. It's commonplace everywhere - in Europe, Africa, Asia and even the U.S.

Lucy Powell

I will say it loud and clear: at Manchester City, it is all about what you choose to look at. If you look at the money spent on players, you will only ever see that side of City. If you look at the bigger plan, which is investment in the community, facilities, and youth teams, you realise there is heart and soul in this club.

Vincent Kompany

All of us at Juventus agreed Manchester United were the best side we met in the Champions League. They have so many talented young players and can only get better and better. Giggs is truly world class

Zinedine Zidane

Following World War II, the U.S. was the architect of the UN system, and the world financial system, and the Human Rights Declaration, and of course the United Nations is based here in New York City. But, unfortunately, especially in the last decade, the U.S. really has been turning its back on international agreements and the set of agencies and procedures that they create as a means for governing the world.

John Burroughs

I feel at Manchester City I will get the chance to play regularly in my best position and play a big part in a successful side.

Gareth Barry

My vision of coming to Manchester United is that I'm at one of the best clubs in the world, for me, the best club in England.

Bruno Fernandes

Proust, my big inspiration for 'Goon Squad,' uses music a lot in his novel, both in terms of plot and structure. I liked the idea of doing the same thing, which is one reason I structured 'Goon Squad' as a record album, with an A side and a B side, that's built around the contrasting sounds of the individual numbers in it.

Jennifer Egan

We can talk about Manchester! I like coming here, it's a wicked city. It's my second favourite city in England after London. I like Liverpool too but there's a lot more to do in Manchester.

Dave Mason

You only have to look at the England squad to see the amount of players who get in the squad and start the games - the majority play in the Champions League.

Gareth Barry

People talk about my age, but you could probably include me in that. I haven't got a lot of experience at international level. I am 30 and one of the oldest in the squad, but I am new to this as well and have not been to a big, big tournament. But this is an evolving England team.

Scott Parker

I'm in such a privileged position to class football as my full-time job, to be captain of England, captain of Manchester City. I'm very lucky.

Steph Houghton

To me, the team is more important than any individual member of the squad, and the players have to realise that and accept that my priority is to pick a side with the best possible chance of winning each match.

Gerard Houllier

Sometimes we're the big game in town. Other times, we're kind of a side show. (on Manchester City)

Claudio Reyna

Yes, Manchester United are the best team in England, but you have to ask how good has the Premier League been since I left? If I was at a top club in England I think the title race might have been a lot closer this year.

Jose Mourinho

You look at the best players in the league, the best players at quarterback - I mean Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, the top names - none of those guys are throwing it through a brick wall. They'll have touch.
