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.

Training's completely different now. It used to be a lot of running and work without the ball. Now it's all with the ball, which any player loves.

When I came to Chelsea from West Ham there were certain parts of my game I felt I needed to improve and I like to think now that I have shown dramatic improvement.

In a way, I've thrived on the competition, perhaps it has made a better player because of it.

I had a chance to go to Italy when I was younger and that would have been tough because of the language. America is easier but I really loved it.

I don't know if we'd have been as dominant as we were last season. The new things, the new ideas the manager brought in everyone took them on board so well. He is special.

Footballers do get a hard time, and there is a lot of generalization going on. When you get to meet players and know them as lads, it's always a bit different.
