on international games on 3g pitches…
I'm personally against [it] but I can understand the decision from Fifa because, in some countries, sometimes it's better to play on an artificial pitch than on a normal bad pitch. [Like] in Russia in winter, the artificial pitch gives you the guarantee of a flat pitch. And on the other side, the quality of the artificial pitches improve always and get closer to what is a normal pitch.
on a potential ground-share with Spurs…
Geographically it's a solution but you understand as well that it's a very sensitive subject. I don't think that will happen.
on it having happened before after the First World War…
Yes, maybe. But at the moment I must say I have bigger problems to sort out than that. We have not been questioned about it.
