Now Gosling is on. We're definitely going down now. Can't justify ever playing that useless sack of shit. Him and Williamson pretending to be professionals should be illegal.
 
Bayern Lineup: Neuer; Rafinha, Van Buyten, Boateng, Contento; Tymoshchuk, Gustavo; Xhaqiri, Pizarro, Alaba; Gomez #BVBFCB

BVB: Weidenfeller - Großkreutz, Subotic, Santana, Schmelzer - Kehl, Sahin - Kuba, Gündogan, Schieber - Lewandowski
 
In celebration of him taking Wolves down, here are some of the finest quotes from managerial genius Dean Saunders.

On relegation:

"And another thing that has pleased me is in Ladbrokes, we’re not one of the three favourites to get relegated and they don’t normally get it wrong."

"It's only Burnley and Brighton, it's not as if we're playing Arsenal and Man Utd"

"The players have some pride – they don’t want to play in League One. Apart from Saturday, every time we’ve needed a win we’ve got one."

"I quite enjoy being under pressure. There is nothing worse than just floating half way up the league."

"If you don’t score in the Championship, you end up in League One eventually."

On tactics:

"We wont have a particular way of playing. We'll change it up from week to week. The opposition wont know what's hit them!"

"I’m old school but I also played against Gerrard and Henry - I saw the changes. I’m not a dinosaur. But football is straight-forward, tactically."

"Football isn't rocket science, all you need is good players working together."

On luck:

"If the lad misses his two goals we would've drawn."

On women:

"When the baby is up crying in the middle of the night you need to tell your wife to go deal with it because you can't play football when you're tired and it's the football that pays for all her expensive things like putting the kids through school."

"When your wife serves you up something unhealthy for tea you need to tell her to make something different."

On team talks:

"When we have a team talk the players know that the only reason I talk to them is to make myself feel better"

...and finally, on "the eye of the tiger":

My game revolved around scoring goals – unfortunately you can’t teach people the instinct of being in the right place.
You can show them where to run and you can practice your finishing and your technique.
John Toshack said to me once: ‘You can be the best coach and motivator in the world and the best organiser but you’ve got to buy a goal. You have to pay for strikers – you have to go and buy the ones who’ve got the knack’.
We’ve got players here with the knack. You always have an eye for a goal but you can lose your eye of the tiger.
I’ve still got my eye for goal now but if you lose your eye of the tiger you are not actually moving to where the ball is going.
It is belief and confidence.
When you are scoring you have got the eye of the tiger – everywhere you run the ball bounces in front of you.
