So many people want to live their lives and their dreams through their own Facebook page or their Twitter page. They want to show every detail of their life to everyone in the world. That scares me because I don't have any Facebook page or Twitter I don't like it, I don't want it.

Tottenham tried to sign me but I held off and came to Arsenal because Arsene Wenger was here.

I had lots of posters on my bedroom wall of players like Zico, many Brazilian and Italian players, not many players in particular but I loved football so much and I especially loved skilful players.

France is hypocritical and cowardly. I sometimes think that, having been invaded by the Germans, we'd be run better today.
