We want to cement second place as soon as we can. This is a game we should be winning, and thankfully we have. We just have to carry on the good form we have been showing.

Records are not important to me at this stage and I don't consciously think about them, but they are something I will be able to look back on proudly when I have finished.

Liverpool are one of the best teams in the world, and the rivalry is massive. It's nice to play them, and even better to beat them.
alex both brought captain faith ferguson john lads players sir stress style
John's put a lot of faith in me, making me captain and like the players he's brought in, I've responded. He's got his own style but the lads are a lot more comfortable with him now. John and Sir Alex Ferguson are both old school, like to do the coaching, and stress what they want from individuals. And, more often than not, they get it.

We have to kick on now. Fulham will be a difficult game ... but hopefully we now have the confidence to go on and get a good result. It is important to go on a winning run because we do not want to get too far behind.
break explain form hard hopefully periods players work
All players have 'ordinary' periods in their career and it's hard to explain why. So at these times, its all about self belief, hard work and hopefully you get the break and your form returns.

Football is easy when things are going well, but when its not, it becomes the biggest test.
became famous following footballer people
I didn't become a footballer to be famous, I became a footballer to be successful. I didn't want to be famous. Now people want to be famous. Why? Why would you want people following you about all day? I couldn't think of anything worse.
