"Professional football is about winning and balancing the budget. That is the basic rule, and one which I fought for. All the rest is half cheating.

"We were very 'up for it' in midfield and dominated where, a few weeks ago, people thought we were not capable of that. Everybody tells me to buy strikers, but nobody has scored more goals than us in the league.
