One strange quality of writing about political campaigns is that it’s a little like writing about a baseball game inning by inning.

The first time I retired, only Sir Alex Ferguson and I knew that the last league game of the 2010-11 season against Blackpool was to be my final game at Old Trafford.

I have some special things at home, but not too many. I’ve got two shirts framed – that’s all – my first Premiership final with Saracens and my first England cap. They’re not signed by anyone; they’re not even washed. They stink!
Football is more disputed in England than it is in Italy. Every match is a very hard match because the referee doesn’t blow his whistle as much as in Italy, and every team plays against each other like it is a final.

I know what a Champions League final is like.
In America today, we are nearer a final triumph over poverty than is any other land.

Just the fact that that Europe album ‘The Final Countdown’ came out in 1986 and ‘Rad’ came out in 1986… I’m starting to think that maybe 1986 is my favorite year, of all time!
Final pairing on Sunday in a PGA Tour event? If you can’t get up for that, you better find something else to do.
I’d never taken a job purely for money – I felt that would kill me – but I was afraid that I was heading that way. Then, my brother passing away was the final thing that kicked me over. It reminded me that life is short, and you’d better do what you want while you have a chance.
When he hung up on Nancy Reagan, that’s when he crossed his final threshold.
I still like to keep tapes of the few minutes before the final take, things that happen before the session. Maybe it’s superstitious, but I believe if I had done things differently – if I had walked around the studio or gone out – it wouldn’t have turned out that way.
Since I joined Congress, I’ve been shocked at how many times we were forced to vote on 1,000-plus-page bills without ample time to read or review what was in the final legislation. It’s no wonder Congress doesn’t enact good policy.

When I first went to Stevens Point, I never thought I’d ever be close to the NBA. I didn’t even think about the NBA. The big start for me was making it to the final cut for the Olympic team, and I was the only one who was going to be back for my senior year of college.
Porto is my team since I was a young boy. I was in the stands for all the matches. I was too young to go to the Champions League final in 2004, but I celebrated afterwards. I watch all their games when I can. At some point in my career, I want to go back.
There are people who will appreciate what I’ve done, and there will be people who will criticize me. Ultimately history will have the final say.

I work closely with the printer to get the final print the way I want it.

What will be the final straw that finally forces Congress to at least open up formal debate – let alone introduce a bill, pass it, and have it signed into law – that curbs the scourge of gun deaths across the country?
I had a lot of pressure in my career: when you play at World Cup or Champions League final, there is pressure on your shoulders.
The government’s position was that we have frigates that have got a useful life until 2006. There is no necessity for us to make final decisions until 2002.
To be honest, I don’t love the getting-ready-for-red-carpet thing. I like when it’s done, the final product, but the actual doing of all that is not my favorite ’cause I’m kind of impatient, and I don’t like to be doted on. I’m a very independent, ‘I’ll do it myself’ sort of personality.
When you have the chance to play a Champions League final, you have to win it.

The job is trying to create movie shots that have depth, that have the meanings you need them to have, and then good enough so that they will add something to the final picture. They will make the picture; they’ll get into the picture, and give them what they need. It’s an interesting job.
Experience alone can give a final answer. The knowledge gained in a few years by a commission of the kind suggested would be worth more than volumes of mere assertions and contradictions.
‘The Last Patriot’ is set in the present day but is based upon the premise that the Prophet Mohammed had a final revelation, he shared it with his disciples, and they killed him to keep it hidden and out of the Qur’an.

We are still confident as a team that we will make it through to the final Cup qualifying round.
So people ask, ‘But how can you work for a friend?’ I say it’s because I know that the magazine is called ‘O.’ The bottom line is somebody has to have the final word. Oprah’s not right all the time, but her record is pretty damn good. That’s not to say you can’t disagree.

Essentially, it is the director who is the creative head of a film. The final authority on all decisions lies with the director. That is how it should be. And then other team members can give their creative inputs.

There’s something about taking a film from concept to script, through production, and then to see the final thing happening in the edit phase. It’s almost like a miracle in the making.
I think when you have a National Championship Game, a Super Bowl, a Final Four, a World Series, I don’t see why there is any reason to pick out one individual as the MVP because it is about a team winning a championship.

Losing one final, that happens, but when it happens three times in a row, that is something else entirely.

At last, after completing year 12, I failed the great final examination, repeated the following year and failed again even more dismally than before. This was not an easy thing to do. My mates did the simple thing in the first place and mainly passed with honours and went on to have remarkably successful lives.
A Final Four would be pretty amazing.
I generally edit quite heavily. In general, there aren’t many scenes that are sitting where they sat in the script in the final form.

Playing a final is great, but it’s winning it that counts.

I need to show the world that my final goal is to perform huge concerts like Madonna.
The thing I realized about final cut is it’s the power of the best cut. I didn’t have final cut on ‘Prisoners,’ but what you saw is the best cut. ‘Sicario’ is a directors’ cut. ‘Arrival’ is a directors’ cut.
I think the core of Jaime Lannister is actually that final line in the pilot when he says, ‘The things I do for love.’ He might do horrible things – and they are truly, some of them, horrific. There’s no excuses. But he does it out of what he sees as a necessity, out of love.
I do have what I believe to be a two-CD, authentic, ‘Carter V’ final product mixed down. Nobody knows what ‘Tha Carter V’ is. In fact, nobody can say until Lil Wayne says, ‘This is ‘Tha Carter V.”
I’m so happy that I was able to make it to 120 games for Germany; 175 games would have been possible. I’ve had many great moments, but particularly the way the fans supported me and the road to the final in Rio.
The biggest memory I have is the 1984 European Cup final against Roma and my ‘spaghetti legs’ routine during the penalty shoot-out that won us the trophy.

From initial concept to final build, ‘Train’ was close to a year in development. Much of this was research and letting the dynamics of the project come to the surface.

I want to give 100 per cent every day whether it’s training, a cup final or a friendly.
When you get to the semi-final of a cup you want to get to the final.
I always do very detailed demos. I feel that it’s better to show the director a demo that sounds as close to the final thing as possible with samples. It takes time to create, but I feel that it’s better to get the director on board very early on in terms of the sounds that I have in my head.
The film director, in many instances, has to swallow somebody else’s decision about the final form of something. It’s so hard as to be intolerable.

Be unselfish. That is the first and final commandment for those who would be useful and happy in their usefulness. If you think of yourself only, you cannot develop because you are choking the source of development, which is spiritual expansion through thought for others.
You’ve got to dig deep to get from a semi-final to a final.
In terms of smaller changes over time, I think good plays are like poems. Every syllable counts. So I wrestle with word choice, rhythm in final drafts.

This Olympics is almost a little sad. It is my final Olympics. There are a lot of good memories.

My wife determined that my genius should prevail, and that my final success as an ornithologist should be triumphant.

I am an enthusiast, but not a crank in the sense that I have some pet theories as to the proper construction of a flying machine. I wish to avail myself of all that is already known and then, if possible, add my mite to help on the future worker who will attain final success.
In the final analysis, it is your decision to make, but it doesn’t move as fast as I’d like it to move.
Some people may say wrong decisions belong in football, but if a final is decided in the 90th minute by a wrong decision, for me that is not a fair result.

The final product in a play is not just the written word. It’s the production, the performance. The script is, of course, a very important piece; but it’s only one element. Ultimately, yours is one of several voices. People can change your work in a play for better or worse.
Shakespeare will not make us better, and he will not make us worse, but he may teach us how to overhear ourselves when we talk to ourselves… he may teach us how to accept change in ourselves as in others, and perhaps even the final form of change.

Auctions create greater price discovery and liquidity, resulting in a very meaningful final auction price. If you were building a securities exchange today, an auction would be a core feature.

People notice if you are black. People notice if you are female. We are certainly not either colorblind or gender-blind in this country, so I’m not suggesting that it isn’t a factor. But I think in the final analysis, people will take a look at the positions, and they’ll take a look at the issues.
I played the 1980 UEFA Cup final for Borussia Monchengladbach against Eintracht Frankfurt, who had the legendary South Korean Cha Bum-kun as their forward. He was the face of Frankfurt then.

The end comes when we no longer talk with ourselves. It is the end of genuine thinking and the beginning of the final loneliness.
The final upshot of thinking is the exercise of volition, and of this thought no longer forms a part; but belief is only a stadium of mental action, an effect upon our nature due to thought, which will influence future thinking.

One corollary of the wretchedness of the second trilogy of ‘Star Wars’ films has been the final, demented sanctification of the first trilogy of films.
I have a save file in ‘Final Fantasy XII’ that is 125 hours long. I have gotten into legitimate arguments over the rules governing the tapping of mana in ‘Magic: The Gathering.’ I don’t like hugs or parties, high school sucked for me, and Nathan Fillion deemed something I wrote his ‘Favorite ‘Firefly’ fanboy rant to date.’
I’ve pretty much run the circle of labels and dealing with that whole kind of battle, because you’re the one creating the music, but you’re not the final say. That’s always been hard.
More and more people – Leavers and Remainers – from every region, every political party and every walk of life, are demanding a vote on the final Brexit deal before we leave the EU.
In the final analysis there is no other solution to man’s progress but the day’s honest work, the day’s honest decision, the day’s generous utterances, and the day’s good deed.
I should write a musical. That is probably one of the final areas that I should pay attention to, because it does kind of involve everything. It’s got theatre, it’s got young, pretty people… And it’s got money!
I am a student of a business school in Delhi and went back for my final semester exams.
As someone who has been playing ‘Final Fantasy’ since before I could walk on two legs, I was particularly disgusted by ‘Final Fantasy XIII-2’s soundtrack.
After the mediocre ‘Final Fantasy XIII’ and the sheer disaster that was ‘Final Fantasy XIV,’ many fans have lost faith in the RPG titan.
The final battle of ‘Eclipse’ kind of blows the socks off everything we’ve seen earlier in the series, because you finally have wolves interacting with humans and vampires in a way that’s really sophisticated visual effects that we’re doing in it.
Not until the final draft do I force myself to remember that I’m going to have to think about how it will affect other people.
I like to not be too involved in the beginning and during the process so as to keep this fresh look and be able to give constructive recommendation on the final production.
If you create a fun environment, people will take liberties and grow and expand. And then you’ll get your final screenplay in my favorite style, which is ‘tossed away’ – as if the actor just thought of it.
When you are shooting over a period of six months, you tend to forget how dark or bright it was. And when you are using different technologies, having a look book helps during the final grading of the film. So you can design what the film is going to look like even before the colouring process begins.
It’s ironic, but until you can free those final monsters within the jungle of yourself, your life, your soul is up for grabs.
Someday, when the ultimate laws of physics are in our grasp, we may discover that the notion of time isn’t actually essential. Time might instead emerge to play an important role in the macroscopic world of our experience, even if it is nowhere to be found in the final Theory of Everything.
But in its final creation it was not the part of the Father’s power to fail as though exhausted. It was not the part of His wisdom to waver in a needful matter through poverty of counsel.
It’s 2010. I’m forty-three years old. I’ve just turned in the final draft of what will be my third novel when I decide I want a tattoo. Maybe it’s a middle-age thing. Or maybe now that my kids are nearly grown and I have a career in place, I’m finally coming into my own.
I think some parents now look at a youngster failing as the final thing. It’s a process, and failure is part of the process. I would like it if the teacher and the parents would connect more. I think that used to be, but we’re losing a little bit of that right now.
I would like a boyfriend. I’m a very happy person and it is the final, final piece of the puzzle. I’m looking for that shout-it-out-from-the-mountaintops, fall-in-love person.
I don’t work from drawings. I don’t make sketches and drawings and color sketches into a final painting.
We have all loved a guy we know has issues. Despite popular opinions, until we give it a final try, the relationship will always be in the ‘what if’ stage.
Pundits are no better at forecasting election outcomes than they would be at predicting the final path of a hurricane. Smart pundits should consider either abandoning this activity or consulting with the geeks before rendering their guesses.
I think it’s good for sporting justice that Ronaldo scored twice in the final.
I like to come up with lots of different sounds. So the final version of a song might have been 10 completely different songs before we finally got it right.
It was a great mantel to be able to take on really, an amazing legacy. And you know to finally see it, because I just saw the final product yesterday as well, is really amazing to be part of something like this.
I’d love to feature for the Barbarians. I’d love to win a Champions Cup, and I’d love to get to another World Cup and make a fist of it: get to a World Cup final at least and see what could have been, particularly after 2011 when Wales reached the semi-finals.
A lot of the guys who played in the 1995 final for Ajax had been there since the age of 12 or 13. Patrick Kluivert and Edgar Davids had been there from age seven or eight, so I had a lot of catching up to do.
No new projects at the moment. There are restrictions to how much I can take on. And I need to finish those that I am committed to do before thinking ahead. But I’d rather they take final shape before we talk of them.
The only thing they really get to pick is the single. But I get to pick the producer, the songs on the record, the final masters, the artwork. Basically, I hand them a record.
On ‘Metallica,’ I recorded six or seven different guitar solos for almost every song, took the best aspects of each solo, mapped out a master solo and made a composite. Then I learned how to play the composite solo, tightened it up and replayed it for the final version.
You might cry during a game if you lose a final. That’s all part of football.
I do still have some of the experience from playing, but it’s been so long since I’ve been out in those quarters, semis, finals, the important final matches, just against the top players.
I tried to convince those guys at the Bullets in the ’95-’96 season that they could try to beat the mighty London Towers, who won everything the year before. I got out of bed every day with the mindset of getting the team to Wembley for the play-off final and to win the championship.
Think as you work, for in the final analysis, your worth to your company comes not only in solving problems, but also in anticipating them.
My job is to help the team, and so I love retrieving the ball as much as scoring or playing the final pass for a goal.
When I lost the Wimbledon 2012 final, I didn’t know if I’d ever win a slam.
When I took on the title sponsorship of the Western European League and the World Cup Final in October 2010, I did it because I love the sport and I love horses. It has proved to be a perfect match for the Reem Acra brand.
There are no Rabbits in the north-west. This statement, far from final, is practically true today, but I saw plenty of Lynxes, and one cannot write of ducks without mentioning water.
People remember the treble in 1999 as if we only had to turn up to collect three trophies. But on that cup run, we were 1-0 down against Liverpool going into injury time, and we turned it around to win 2-1. And everyone remembers the Champions League final in Barcelona, where the same thing happened.
In the final analysis, finding a way to do clean business and not to pay bribes actually improves your bottom line.
I’d just hit the Billboard thing, and I had a good feeling. About a month ago, I received a call that said I was in the running, that I’d made the final 25. So I just wanted to place.
I always save a few special outfits for the final rounds of a tournament, because they put me in a more positive mindset and I then make better decisions.
I remember one of my last shows, the Final Jeopardy! clue was something like ‘These two boys’ names are top 10 boys’ names in the U.S., they both end with the same letter, and they’re both names of Jesus’ apostles.’ Now, obviously that’s not a knowable fact.
I did my first film when I was in the final year of my graduation. At that time, I was still a kid, and I couldn’t read the industry very well.
The final ballots represent players, managers, executives and builders who are top-tier candidates and worthy of review for consideration for election to the Hall of Fame.
If you come to a negotiation table saying you have the final truth, that you know nothing but the truth and that is final, you will get nothing.
Having done film, TV and theatre, the nicest final bit of the jigsaw is to do live comedy, because you can talk to the audience. It feels really natural to be able to laugh with them, but at the same time still be within the framework of a play.
Every president, as he nears the end of his final term in office, thinks about his place in history.
A lot of things I have turned down ended up being a big embarrassment. Like that script, ‘The Beaver.’ I thought that was one of the worst scripts I had ever read. But everyone said, ‘Ooh it’s on the Black List.’ Yeah, well, good for it. They’re a bunch of idiots. I saw the final film, and there were no surprises.
We do not show the Negro how to overcome segregation, but we teach him how to accept it as final and just.
I write synopses after the book is completed. I can’t write it beforehand, because I don’t know what the book’s about. I invent something for my publisher because he asks for one, but the final book ends up very differently.
In April 1991, after the Gulf war, Iraq was given 15 days to provide a full and final declaration of all its WMD.
I supported and voted for the public option in the version of the Affordable Care Act passed by the U.S. House. Had it been incorporated into the final version of the ACA, it would have done much to increase the competitiveness of ACA Exchange Marketplaces.
I want to be in a ‘Final Destination’ movie.
When you have a performer as talented as Bill Murray or as Harold, that can write as well as they can perform, you can do a final draft on the set if you think of it that way.
In tennis, you can have a bad set and still win. The part of track cycling that is difficult to find in other sports is that it’s so final; there’s no second chance if you make a mistake.
And so we try to address those concerns in every way possible, recognizing, again, in the final analysis, everybody on that flight wants to be assured with the highest level of confidence that everybody else on that flight has been properly screened, and including me and you and everybody.
Last year in Germany at a town hall in Leipzig there was a game music concert played by the orchestra and some of the Final Fantasy scores were played. This year there is another concert scheduled in the same location, for game music.
After the Champions League final in 2007… I would never have thought I would have finished my career in Milan!
In the final analysis, style is art. And art is nothing more or less than various modes of stylized, dehumanized representation.
Movies are collaborative, and that’s part of what makes it a great experience. They’re different from a lot of other art forms, but also it makes it seem like when you see the final product, you go, ‘I wouldn’t have done that. I wouldn’t have done this.’
I did a production of Macbeth in the 1960s in which I had a swordfight in the final scene. But the blade fell off my sword just as I was stabbing the guy. I ended up having to hammer him to death.
The time is coming when the pressure of population on the means of subsistence will be felt here as it is now felt in Europe and Asia. Then will the world enter upon a new stage of its history – the final competition of races, for which the Anglo-Saxon is being schooled.
To score in the World Cup final is not a small story, of course. Every footballer dreams of it: first to become a world champion and then, even better, to score in the final. This happened to me, and I’m glad.
When a club has €200m left on its transfer budget in the final days of the transfer period, why shouldn’t they make a higher bid when their initial €70m bid has been rejected?
Competition is the final price determinant and competitive prices may result in profits which force you to accept a rate of return less than you hoped for, or for that matter to accept temporary losses.
My best has to be for Barcelona against Villarreal in 2006 – that is the one I am asked most about, and it is the one I am most proud of. Xavi chipped the ball to me, I chested it down, twisted and hit an overhead kick. It was the final goal in a 4-0 win.
We even did a re-imagining of ‘Spider-Man’ that James Franco starred in that didn’t make it into ‘This Is The End’. That didn’t make the final cut, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it made the DVD.
You can know that the final show is coming up, and prepare yourself for it mentally, but when it finally occurs, it’s like a dream. You stand there feeling the love the audience has for you, and you think, ‘Is this really going to end?
The final test for a novel will be our affection for it, as it is the test of our friends, and of anything else which we cannot define.
Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.
Particularly in the final stages I always find that I’m rushed. It’s dangerous when you’re rushed in the editing stage, most of my early films are flawed in the cutting.
What I’ve seen, and the reactions from ‘The Final Quarter’ and ‘The Australian Dream’, is that a lot more people are more willing to share their stories around racism.
What you write on the page has nothing to do with when you’re on set. When you’re on set, it has nothing to do with when you’re in the editing room. And when you’re in the editing room, it has nothing to do with the final movie. You just have to let it go.
Not every story in history has a beginning, a middle and an end, but the wreck of the Titanic does. It begins when they leave, in the middle it hits an iceberg, and in the final two hours, the ship sinks.

Advertising is, of course, important because advertise is the final design. It’s the last layer that speaks to the customer, that tells them what you have.

The Bachelor’… and ‘The Bachelorette’… and ‘Bachelor in Paradise’… and the ‘After the Final Rose ceremony’. I love a competition dating show.
I had a few brushes with death, where I nearly chose to go. The final one in 1996 did it for me. I suddenly had that feeling that I wasn’t indestructible. There was no big white light experience, I just felt this complete blackness and a huge voice inside me saying, ‘This is not right.’
The Fair Elections Act in its final form will require every single voter to produce ID showing who they are before they vote. Away from the noise in political Ottawa, everyone understands that this is common sense.
The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on.
Reading the final copy of my book was like walking down memory lane all over again. Sure, the writing process was emotional, but when I had the final copy in my hands, it was a completely different feeling.

Even when I was a little kid, I always dreamed that I would play Serena in a final of a Grand Slam.
‘Strictly’ is a bit like scoring the winning goal in the FA Cup Final or sinking the final putt in the Ryder Cup – only a few people get the opportunity to do it, and they have got to be famous.
