We have gone down the road of being in All Ireland finals with Mayo in the past. And people are used to that initial euphoria of just being there. You know, the sheep are left alone in terms of painting them and that kind of stuff. A couple of years ago, there was crazy stuff going on. I mean, if you didn't know better you would say these guys are... odd

Shake hands? It depends. If shaking hands is not with feeling and is just for the cameras, I am not ready for that because I don't care what people think or people say. I don't care about the image; I care about human feelings. If the feeling in fact is positive, or is not negative, and we realise in the past some comments shouldn't have been made, I am more than ready for that. Before the game, after the game, I am more than ready for that. But in front of the cameras, just for nice pictures, I am not one for that
Jose Mourinho might shake hands with Rafa Benitez today, we're not sure
When I heard Jonathan repeat the figure of £55k, I nearly swerved off the road. "He is taking the piss, Jonathan!" I yelled down the phone. I was so incensed. I was trembling with anger. I couldn't believe what I'd heard
Ashley Cole recounts the hell he went through when he wasn't offered the £60,000 a week he asked for at Arsenal. Please give generously The club made Thierry feel wanted and special, wooing him, wining and dining him, speaking in public about how much they want him to stay, going on a deliberate charm offensive. But me? I didn't have one dinner, one meeting or one phone call from anyone Cole again, offering some clues as to why nobody was making him feel wanted
[Zinedine] Zidane retired with more glory than Schumacher. Michael is the most unsporting driver with the largest number of sanctions (against him) in the history of formula one. That doesn't mean he hasn't been the best driver, and fighting against him has been an honour and a pleasure
Formula One world champion Fernando Alonso, ready to bid a fond farewell to the retiring Michael Schumacher
