55 Quotes by Glenn Roeder

Craig Moore has only played two reserve games in the last five or six months and he didn't play very much football in Germany last year.

Everything was perfect because it was a win, he scored from open play, which I think he would have preferred to have done, and it couldn't be a more perfect day for Alan Shearer, the rest of the players and the fans.

Perhaps last time around we didn't have suitable candidates and Eriksson came in. Whatever you say about him, he's done a good job and he will do a good job in Germany. But we now do have candidates.

Alan won't want sympathy. He'll shake himself down, shrug his shoulders and get on with it.

This is not a case of us having to let Moore go under FIFA regulations because it is not an international game but a training camp.

Thirty-eight games - that's when the season ends. That's what I've always believed. What a shameful thought, to pack up and go home with seven games to go. I didn't hear players saying that, but I heard people around the place saying 'they have got nothing to play for, they won't be motivated'.

This job has reminded me how enjoyable it is to work with high-quality players. If it had just been for one game I would not have had the chance to get that feeling back.

It was encouraging to see Kieron come back. We had decided it would make sense to put him on the bench and afterwards he said he's fine.

It's a huge disappointment because he's had a terrific season in his first year here.
