Born in South Shields.
I know my best team, but my best team has got 15 players in it.
Dean Marney has also thrown his hat into the ring after Saturday. The more hats there are in the ring, the harder my job is
They will watch his decision-making process.
There was pride in the shirt. There was sweat in the shirt. There was blood in the shirt.
The other night was like when my daughter was being born and I was in the waiting room. You are waiting for good news and obviously the good news didn't come through this time.
They will carry us over the finishing line every so often, and we’ll carry them over the line other times. It’s a mutual respect at the moment.
It's important that you win games at any level.
If one or two do go out, hopefully the players we get in will be better players.
In any game, you get pictures and at half time there were 11 players who had half a shirt for Saturday.
The way the game is, players come to a football club with baggage. Whether that's positive or negative, they come to a new club with some luggage. Tony's baggage over the last four or five years has been not playing so many games at Tottenham.
It was a fantastic result and credit has to go to the players. The application they have shown since I got the job has been first class. They've just asked for four or five days off this week, but I've said I want them back in on Tuesday.
I'm looking forward to the game because I think it will be a great spectacle. [...] He's the type of guy that can pull a rabbit out of the hat every so often and I'll be watching out for that.
The plans we put in place this week have gone according to plan.
For me today, Hull City beat Hull City.
If we stand still, we're going backwards. We've got to keep moving forward and appear to be moving forward.
You get pictures in pre-season. You get pictures of fitness, you get pictures of attitude, you get pictures of mentality, you get pictures of systems and the way players play and you also get pictures of whether people can step up to the plate in the Premier League. I was getting all those pictures in the first half
We used the home advantage to our advantage.
It's vitally important that as manager you make decisions.
We've got 8 points from 4 games. That's automatic promotion form.
The lads are on top of the ground at the moment and they look as though they're looking forward to tomorrow.
