* Rooney not happy with Setanta:

"I signed up for it and was told that it would come on in 15 minutes. But Setanta did not come on until after the game."


* Sir Bobby Robson backs his interpreter:

"Guessing the next Manchester United manager has been a national pastime for years. Now we can all add the name of another candidate Jose Mourinho.

"I've no doubt that when my friend, Sir Alex Ferguson, steps down and I hope it's a long time away Jose will be the first choice of the United board. After all, he has a proven track record in England, loves the country and the passion for football and, importantly, his family like living here."


* Park:

"I am training for three hours without fail every day. I expect to return to action next year"

"If United and the KFA can work something out and give me a chance to play, I will be happy to join the team and accomplish a dream" [next year's olympics]


* Capable Hands on this morning's Sportsweek:

"We've lost Mickael Silvestre for the season to injury and we are always reviewing the situation with transfers."
