To be honest, I was Mum's boy. Always was, always will be.

I am certainly not the most talented player in the world; there's many a more talented player than me.

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

Remember every team wants to beat Chelsea, probably even more than Manchester United or Arsenal because they believe we have an unfair advantage.

I have never seen a player as driven and determined as me, quietly determined; that's why I always want to do the best.

I'm not the kind of player to see out my time and sit with my bum on the bench too much. I want to be involved. That's my character.

There is such a belief in the squad that we could really do something.
