Press Quotations | Page 3

We believe that following the sharp rally at the start of '06, home-building stocks may come under pressure on eroding fundamentals.

We're in a persistent pattern that doesn't allow the ridge of high pressure that normally builds up after each storm to build in and dry us out. The storms have just been coming back-to-back for just about the whole month.

We're talking about a basic violation of the Constitutional guarantee of a free press as well as a violation of the rights of privacy of American citizens. I had hoped we would have learned our lessons from the Nixon era. Sadly, it appears we have not.

We started out sluggish, but they responded well and picked up the pressure and forced some turnovers.

We started out on a full-court press, but we had to switch to a man all over the floor when the press was not working. We created a lot of turnovers and our defense made opportunities for our offense. That is the greatest defense we have played all year.

We started out OK. (Mandan's) pressure defense is tough. We are looking for a person to take a leadership role. We need that to happen if we are going to make it to the next level.

We started off by controlling the game and were well organised and in the second half they did put some pressure on us but then we controlled the game at the end of the game,

We started looking for someone in L.A., and what we found was that we were encountering the usual suspects. They're Hollywood kids who have been in the business for a few years. We were looking for someone who was a little raw and a little edgier. And we got a tape from New York with this kid on it. The thing that sold us was his face. He has an incredibly expressive face, and it's older than his years. When you sit and you look at him, it already feels like he's carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. He looks like his eyes are a little sad, but he's really bright. At this particular point, there's no Hollywood in him.

We're going to the final, that's the most important thing. Whether it was a goal or not, I'm sure people will comment on that, but we're happy we're going to Istanbul. Chelsea put us under pressure but we defended really well.

We're going to see significant sterling weakness this year. Although the Bank of England is on hold for now the pressure is building for rate cuts in the second half of the year.
