I won't be thinking about the last game, so it won't affect them. They'll reflect on the good results.
We want to do it as soon as we can. It will be a very tough game and we are not thinking we have won it yet.
Those records are great but we're not thinking about the home record going. We're just thinking about how we're going to put it right. It's up to us.
I think I work harder on the pitch, I cover more ground and my passing is more accurate.
I think it was in Moscow last year and I got changed for training the day before we played Moscow, but the fact is they actually wanted to do John's, me and John were next to each other and they did mine by mistake. John had done them I think. So yeah it is true.
I'm really happy here. I think anyone who knows me well, and the fans too I hope, they know that I love the area, and the bond that I've had with the fans has been fantastic.
I don't think Wayne Rooney would be affected if you booed him, that's just how he is, but others go under. They really suffer with it. I think I'm somewhere in the middle... now. I've become tougher as I've got older.
When I came to Chelsea from West Ham there were certain parts of my game I felt I needed to improve and I like to think now that I have shown dramatic improvement.
Henry is a great man, I really like him. He is a great professional and I think he will be a great captain for them. He's been the outstanding player in the Premiership for the last three or four years
I think when you have spent the money that we have, it's bound to bring it's own pressure. The players have shown that they can handle that though. (on Chelsea)
I think every player enjoys praise and I have to work extremely hard on the training ground to bring my game together.
I think about all my successes and failures, and sometimes the failures stick in your head as much as the wins. But you do move on.
You get to the stage where every little bit of criticism that comes to you, you use to make you stronger, ... We get it from a lot of angles now and we hope to answer it by success.
We played very well at the weekend and when we do it is hard for teams to beat us because we have a lot of quality in the side,
