Allardyce:
"I don't think it has ever been done before, if it has it was before I was born. This is a very special moment in this club's history. Everybody knows the teams at the top of the league are the ones who spend the most money. All we are concentrating on is survival. I spent £100,000 strengthening my squad during the summer and tonight they all played above themselves."
Ferguson:
"It was a fantastic game and we played some great stuff in spasmodic periods. I don't know how we are going to get a goal for Diego Forlan, he is so unlucky. Their goalkeeper made a couple of fantastic saves. It is disappointing to lose but this is just one of a series of surprising results this season."
