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.
I know my best team, but my best team has got 15 players in it.
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.
If that's foreign strength or that's English strength, it doesn't matter to me.
It's hard to say how long he'll be out but he's 100 per cent doubtful for the weekend, that's for sure.
They know, in that changing room, that the strength is that changing room.
That's a lot of hard work gone under the water, under the bridge.
Thirty minutes into the game, I was quite comfortable. Then they [...] got two goals back-to-back which certainly turned the game in their favour.
He will hopefully bring a mentality in both penalty boxes.
It's my job not always to put square pegs in square holes but sometimes to put the odd square peg in a round hole.
The fans are starting to get disgruntled with the board, with the players.
I don't know what Murdo's talking about.
