In terms of not retiring? I don't want to leave and think to myself, "Maybe I should have stayed a bit longer". I'm dwelling on it. I have turned down a few Premier League offers. But the fact is, after being at Chelsea for so long and a year with Manchester City, I don't want to get involved in a relegation dogfight.

If players are performing for you, their age shouldn't really matter, especially because the older players can bring their experience to the table.

Goals never come easy. No one gives you goals.

Being faster would probably make me better at football.

When you take a lot of stick you want to ram it down people's throats.

I had a fear of losing, a fear of what might happen if I had a bad game. Would I get dropped? I don't remember a lot of stuff in my career.

I'm like everyone else: I want to play every game, but it's not possible.
