Houllier did what he had to do – I’m not the first person to be treated like a disposable commodity

The treble parade would have been the most perfect moment of my footballing life, but for the two people standing behind me, clearly already plotting their next move.

It sounds mercenary and it smacks of rats leaving the sinking ship. But get real, when everyone is bailing out, you don't want to be the last man standing.

The money I try and earn is for my family. It's not for me. It's always about my family.

I get paranoid about people staring at me. Even now I don't deal with people looking at me. I can't do it sometimes. I can't go out. I don't know how to react when people stare.

Houllier couldn’t deal with players expressing any anger or questioning any of his decisions

To say that I haven't been motivated to play is absolute nonsense.
