on the result...
"It was not easy to win here. It is always
difficult to play at your best when you don't go for something
concrete. It is another victory away from home. This one give us 83
points and I think that is respectable."
on getting that many points...
"I have won titles with less but it highlights
the amount of points requested this year. There was very little
difference between the three teams who fought for the title. Man
United finish with 87, Chelsea 85 and we finished with
83."
on playing out the end of the season ..
"It was an anticlimax. But part of
our role is to do the job when it is less presitious and
glamorous. We did that well. We scored and we should have scored
more. We had a very young side out. The average age was 22.3
without the bench. With the bench that would have gone done to
20."
on seeing another team win the title..
"There is disappointment. We don't fight
and work as hard as we did all season to finish third. But there is
hope for the future if you can make 83 points with such a young
side."
