Sir Alex Ferguson: (On the tie against AS Roma) It is finely balanced simply because they have got a lead and we have to get at them and get the goal which will change the game, if we get the goal it changes the game and they will have to come out and it will be interesting to see that. (edit) Sir Alex Ferguson: (On his teams consistency) If we can play like that every week we'll get some level of consistency. (edit) Sir Alex Ferguson: (On Wayne Rooney) I believe that the British public, however, is fair-minded and will make their own judgement about a young woman and her boyfriend now trying to make huge sums by selling their story. (edit) Sir Alex Ferguson: (On Stuart Pearce) Everyone remembers Stuart Pearce as a determined, aggressive player, who played with great heart and enthusiasm that gave him a great career in the game. (edit) Sir Alex Ferguson: (On Wayne Rooney) Our second goal was a great example for any person who wants to get to the very top. Wayne has a fantastic work ethic. (edit)
