The regular things in my life now - training sessions and playing matches - will all fall away. That will leave a big empty space and it will need to be filled.

My goals in Holland were known as 'stiffies', which means something quite different in England of course.

Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.

You have to shoot, to want to score goals no matter how. Just score that goal! You can't be afraid to miss.

It will be a hard game if you think about winning a championship. We need to think about our own game at the moment and focus on getting good results especially over the Christmas period.

Behind every kick of the ball there has to be a thought.

Our two biggest rivals had adjusted their whole season to this one aim of beating us. Of course, it is a big compliment that they were so motivated to stop us but it was very tough to face two matches like that so close together. Suddenly three trophies are down to one.
