If we help ourselves and it hinders somebody else then that's not our problem, that's theirs.[LNB]'As we always say, you can control an awful lot of your own destiny and not someone else's. If we concentrate on ourselves and prepare as well as we can, then whatever eventualities come from that, fine.[LNB]'If we get a result on Sunday it is more helpful to us than it is harmful to them. I never considered they would catch us. I was concentrating on what I was supposed to do and that was to manage Blackburn Rovers. [LNB]'You never look too far ahead and I wasn't doing that then. To their credit they have won a fantastic amount of Championships and it shows how successful they have been.[LNB]'I was working for a good part of that time. I had my own competition with Manchester United when I was at Blackburn and then Newcastle.

I've known him for a long, long time. It must be 40 years or so since I first came across him. I don't have a problem.'[LNB]Asked if he'll enjoy a glass of red wine with Ferguson to mark his 60th, Dalglish joked: 'Well it's my birthday! He'll have what everybody else gets.'
