Some Emile Heskey quotes from the Daily Mail:

Quote
'It was nice to get out there and contribute to the team. The manager told us it's not just the XI on the park, it's the subs too and the lads in the stands as well. Everyone is part of it and we need everyone focusing on the same goal.'

Maybe the previous manager didn't stress this point as much.

Or at all, if some reports are to be believed.

It's ok to have an `Us and Them' mentality so long are there are enought of `Us' to field a team

Good quotes from Houllier.

What is it with this Ged nonsense by the way?

I like it.

It reminds me of a country farmer and James Ewell Brown Sturat’s nickname. And he was a bit of a lad.

It makes me think of laziness. And a lack of respect for our manager's proper name.

Oi, I'll have you know there's nothing wrong with shortening the name Gerard.

In last night's programme, in the Roll of Honour, or whatever it's called, they had the manager down as

Gerald Houllier.

We need to decide once and for all what we will shorten M Houllier's name to.

Ged?
Houl?
GH?
Ger?

I have a friend called Gerard, who also happens to be French, and everyone calls him G.

And as he is fat and Jewish and uninterested in football, I am unlikely to get them mixed up

Have we put this to the vote yet?  Perhaps we should.  I am finding the question vexing.
