So I took it as a very positive sign that the club came to me rather than the other way round.

I don't want to lose myself in football and that's what a coach has to do to be successful.

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

My aim is to play as many games as possible and to go out and be one of the 11 players again.

When you beat a team so often - especially like this season when Chelsea had already lost three times to us - you know people expect you to do it again. But you also know they're going to be even more motivated to finally win.

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.

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.
