Of course it is going to be difficult for any player to get in the Chelsea side no matter who they are.

I am a man who likes to play consistently; I always play better when I'm on a run of games.

Being faster would probably make me better at football.

I was always pretty good at school, but a lot of it was memorising, maybe cheating off your mates, stuff that gets you through.

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

My dad being a player. I was never that quick as a kid, so I had to get quicker. I trained hard. I was never that player who could roll out and relax, like Michael [ Owen] or Stevie [ Gerrard], who were natural.

If I ever have a son, I would call him Frankie, and it's a family name - it's my dad and my dad's dad, so you know, it sticks. I won't forget it.
