PRESS: Do you know how much you will have to spend from the American owners in January?
RB: As always I am focused on training and coaching my team.
Have you had any assurances you’ll have what you want?
RB: As always I am focused on training and coaching my team.
What about your long-term plan?
RB: My plan is training and coaching the team.
Is there anything upsetting you?
RB: As always I am focused on training and coaching my team.
Do you have anything to say?
RB: As always I am focused on training and coaching my team.
It’s clear something is up…
RB: You have my answer.
You’re very different from normal…
RB: You have my answer.
It’s clear that something is up, though. How can you focus on your training and coaching?
RB: I was preparing the training session before this Press conference. So I am always focused on training and coaching.
It’s not always possible, though…
RB: Yes, it is for me.
You said after the story linking you with Bayern Munich you were happy to stay here for a long time, is that still the case?
RB: As always I am focused on training and coaching my team.
We’re not going to tease it out of you, are we? You’re not normally late for a Press conference. You were obviously preoccupied by something…
RB: Because as always I was focusing on the training session.
Is there anything you would like to say?
RB: As always I am focused on training and coaching my team.
You always say you are focused on training and coaching, but you usually give answers to our enquiries, so how come it’s changed suddenly?
RB: Nothing. I’m just focused on training and coaching as always.
You did kind of suggest to the TV people that you were open to possibility of the England job. Is that something we should treat seriously?
RB: It’s your decision. You never know what will happen in the future.
Were you serious when you answered it?
RB: I was serious.
It would be dereliction of our duty not to point out that one day you say you are looking to stay here a long time, then the next day you are saying who knows about England for the future. Isn’t there a contradiction between the two?
RB: The future is the future. Now, as always I am focused on training and coaching my team, so I cannot say anything else. Just to keep preparing for the next game.
You’ve always said you wanted to stay here for years and years and talked about the future here?
RB: That is true.
So, what you’re saying suggests that perhaps the future here is in question?
RB: I am focused on training and coaching my team.
So who knows?
RB: As always I am focused on training and coaching my team.
Are you being allowed to do that as you wish?
RB: I am focused on training and coaching my team.
Does everyone associated with the club share that opinion?
RB: As always I am focused on training and coaching my team.

U Can’t Go Past This!
Writing amusing graffiti always floats my boat, especially when modifying in support of the man, the hammer. It seems this is quite a craze in America, with dozens of similarly tagged images posted on the photo sharing site flickr. I can think of no better reason for the baggy trousers to make an re-appearance than a driver safety awareness video.

Local rag mentioned in national mag
“Last month the South Wales Echo ran a story about trafficked women working in Cardiff, only to discover that all of the brothels named in the article had advertisements in the same issue.”

Damn! And to think I only ever look at the careers section…
