It was the hardest decision of his coaching career so I accepted that I should be No 1 and that was it

My coach confirmed to me my impression that he uses a different measuring stick to evaluate Almunia. For me, this was a huge disappointment. That has forced me to think about my situation. I have to ask myself what is still realistic and possible for me at Arsenal? When Wenger says something like that, it's going to be difficult for me to get back in here. It's very frustrating. When I see the performances on the field, I get angry and I have to clench my fist in my pocket.

Lampard is a specialist in insulting people very badly.

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.

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

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

Goalkeeping is like extreme sports sometimes - you have to let yourself go
