Doping in English football is restricted to lager and baked beans with sausages. After which the players take to the field, belching and farting. English football culture is one of pure, intense competition, and that's why I have always preferred it to Italy.

Paolo Di Canio

For us, as players, I am concentrating on the game rather than worrying about the fans, but obviously, you do want the atmosphere - when you do go to certain grounds, it is difficult to play there when you have got the atmosphere, the fans are right on their side.

Kyle Walker

I love English football because it's real football. I love everything that surrounds it. The public, the atmosphere, the preparation.

Roberto Carlos

And I think because of the passion of every English player and every English supporter, and every English journalist for the game, most of the game is played with passion, love for football and instinct, but in football you also have to think.

Jose Mourinho

[T]he Super Bowl, the quintessential American creation. A dizzying mélange of brilliant entrepreneurship in an atmosphere of intense competition. It is the perfect show for the most intensely competitive culture in this solar system.

Robert Klein

Football is very cinema friendly and the intense competition that the game involves only charges up the atmosphere. This cannot be achieved with cricket.

Vivek Agnihotri

No players want to hear their own fans booing the players, booing the team, but football is a hard game, and you can't win everything.

Ashley Cole

I appreciate the fans who come out here, and they support us, but it's football. We're not saving lives. We're not police officers. We're not doctors. We're football players, first and foremost. If you want to stop watching the game because a guy feels strongly about a very serious topic that's going on in our society, then that's your choice.

Doug Baldwin

I respect the opinion of the fans because their love is important, but when the things don't go well, they have to support the players because we all want the best for Madrid.

Sergio Ramos

As an English player you are lifted when the crowd gets behind you. The atmosphere over here can be unsettling for the Australian players and I hope all our fans get behind us.

Gareth Ellis

I enjoy the honesty of English football, because nobody gives up, and almost all the best players are here. Italian football is at the bottom because of all those scandals. Their league is not very interesting.

Andrey Arshavin

I do not feel that I have a mandate from the entire world of football - the fans, the players, the clubs, the people who live, breathe and love football.

Sepp Blatter

I am a National Football League player of American Samoan heritage. Because of my status as a professional athlete, I have been blessed to play a role in educating players and fans about the culture and history of America's southernmost territory.

Troy Polamalu

Everyone is different but I love to watch that type of football: the clever players, the technical players. The beautiful game.

Tom Cairney

German football is like English football. The Germans and the English do not play like a Brazilian side. They have to improve, bring up their young players, who have character.

Franz Beckenbauer

The Manchester City fans have their opinion on the Champions League. It is down to us, as players, to create the atmosphere in there and help the fans.
