football feels
I feel 21. I've looked after myself and take my football seriously.
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.
football clubs matter
It doesn't matter who you are, football's a business. At some stage you're going to have to leave a football club; that's just normal.
football kids people
When you are young, nothing is more important than football, but as you get older, you get married, have kids and lose people. Then you realise your family is more important. This comes with age.
football player games
For me, there's nothing that beats playing. When I'm not playing, I'll watch games on the television, watch stuff on You Tube, everything. I just live for football, love watching great players.
football thinking games
I don't feel like I'm getting older. I think it's the way I've looked after myself. I take my football seriously. I love scoring goals and I get a good feeling from it, so I'll do whatever it takes to be fit and feel good in games.
football simple play
The best thing about football is that the rules are so simple. Anyone can play anywhere.
great squad
We've got a great squad now and great players.
It's been at the back of my mind.
elated forward took
It took a little deflection but it was good, I was elated with the goal. Going forward we were the better team.
choice style
Style is important for me. I want to be different and now, when I go out on the field, it'll be my choice what I'm wearing.
behind fit front joe
Joe would fit in well down here. He can play on the left, on the right or behind the front two,
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.
thinking crowds difficult
I understand it's difficult but you've got to think about yourself, you know, and not just follow the crowd.
