  Anthony Dwyer in What's Merlin's best Röhl?
• Ian, it won't necessarily be my line-up, especially if Keane is fit. Moyes certainly doesn't mind putting square pegs in round holes! There's a possibility he could play O'Brien at RB, with McNeil on the right wing and Rohl as a number 10. God I hope not though! ...

• Steve, apparently we signed Beto on Raymond's advice, but he meant for the club to buy Neto!...
