We've got a great squad now and great players.
It's been at the back of my mind.

It took a little deflection but it was good, I was elated with the goal. Going forward we were the better team.

achieved bunch fans great happy season somewhere special tremendous
I'm happy here, there's a great bunch of lads, the fans have been tremendous all year. I think we've achieved something special this season so I can't see why I would think about going somewhere else.
football feels
I feel 21. I've looked after myself and take my football seriously.
thinking crowds difficult
I understand it's difficult but you've got to think about yourself, you know, and not just follow the crowd.
football player competition
There is always going to be competition. When you play for a top club, you're going to attract top players. It's part and parcel of football.
thinking important sometimes
I think my faith is important. Being young as well, sometimes it's difficult, but I've got a good family behind me as well.
talking issues groups
I don't know about anyone else, but if I had problems or issues, maybe I wouldn't feel as comfortable talking about them in a group.
body ifs your-body
If you're good to your body, your body's good to you.
training
I love scoring - even in training.
dream play careers
Going to a major tournament, having that buzz - it's hard to put into words. It's a dream to go there, and to play. It's the biggest thing you can achieve in your career, and to go again would be a dream.
