...on breaking Forest's unbeaten record
I just think its something amazing, if you look at the number of goals we scored in these 43 games, and the number of victories we had, and the quality of our football, in modern football it is something amazing. This record shows, in my opinion, that we have become better season to season.
...on the performance
We are happy tonight of course because we have shown a remarkable consistency. In my opinion it was difficult for 30 minutes. Blackburn chased every ball for 30 minutes, and I must say we were a little bit lucky because they had a few chances. In the second half it was all us. We scored some great goals with some great movement. The goals can come from everywhere.
...on the form of Fabregas
I’m really delighted for the boy because he's played three games now. Sometimes you can say that a boy of that age can have one good game, or two, but after the third he has a dip, but no - he’s consistent. His workrate is outstanding, his commitment is outstanding and of course his football is a joy to watch.
...on the return of Patrick Vieira
Patrick has worked very hard and is very, very close now, like Edu, they are both very close. It looks a little bit early on Saturday, but after the [international] break yes.
