A new club is like having a new girlfriend – you don't have feelings straight away

I have a great family, good friends, a nice girlfriend, my own house. I have got everything how I want it to be.

The longer my career has gone, the more I seem to score... It's experience and age and knowing where the ball's going to be.

Give me a great Champions League game or an exciting Premier League game ahead of an international match and I'd love that to reverse. A lot of people have lost interest in England games, it is quite hard to watch.

When you put better teams in front of you, that's when the big players rise to that occasion.

An emotion that lives with me is a sense of what might have been had injuries not robbed me of my most lethal weapon - speed.

As everyone knows I've got a passion for horses.
