Lampard is a specialist in insulting people very badly.

If I have a lot of adrenaline in my body, that is helpful because I feel less pain

I do not have a 24-year-old girlfriend. I have another life altogether.

At the moment I'm just swallowing it all as part of the humiliation but I think - and this is aimed at my dear manager - one shouldn't humiliate players for too long

He takes himself far too seriously and thinks he is very important. I don't like it when someone glorifies themself.

To be sitting on the bench behind somebody who only started to play when he was 30 is not funny.

At Arsenal we play a very attractive, offensive style so I always have to be aware of counter attacks when you have to shift your position a lot more.
