We have spoken about a meeting in the next couple of months, but we'll just have to wait because we've got so many matches and I need to concentrate on the football for now.
It doesn't mean just because Michael is coming back, and I'm maybe in a different position, that things are going to change in the next game.
Tonight it has been a bit of an embarrassment for the lads. Tonight hurts more than any night probably, but we stick together, that's all we can do. If we win the next two games, we go top of the group, that's all we have to do.
I think the next England manager should be someone who's going to be right for the job whether he is English or foreign. I think the players would be happy to play under anyone if they are good for the team. But all the talk needs to stop about who's coming in because we need to concentrate on a huge competition.
I was asked if the next World Cup was going to be my last and I said possibly it could be, but I hope it isn't,
We may be tired in the next few games, but I think we will benefit. This is the sort of work I want to do, I enjoy it and I like working hard.
If we win the next two games, we go top of the group, that's all we have to do.
If we win the next two games then, even if we finished in second place in the group, we've got very high points. We need to win, simple as that. That's what's we're here for. We said that before the Wales game we want to get six points out of the two games and that's what we look for.
We will support the manager until he leaves at the end of the tournament. That's clear for the players.
I've seen his mother talk on the TV and and I think he's got strong parents behind him, and that's what you need when you start out as a sportsman.
The squad had a get together yesterday just with the players, and it felt like being part of a club side,
I still don't know if I will play, because it still hurts.
I've been waiting for this moment for three years. From the start I wanted to wear Real Madrid's shirt in England. There's a special aura about being a Real Madrid player and I want to show it in England. To play in London, where I was born, is going to be very special.
I've definitely had lower points in my career, ... I've been through some worse and the World Cup was worse.
