If other people want to talk about my future I can't control that.

We were massive underdogs at the beginning of the competition and I'll put my hands up say and I didn't think we were going to go all the way. But, as you can see, we are never beaten. The manager told us to keep our chins up, to try and score early in the second half and give some respect for the fans. The first goal gave us a bit of belief. The supporters have saved up for weeks and months to come here. I am so happy to lift the cup for the fans.

The fact I've played well means that on a personal level I have enjoyed the season.

I share their frustration at times and I get down just like them when we suffer a bad result.

As club captain all I want to do is help us get back up the table and into the Champions League.

This club is all about winning trophies and we've got a chance of bringing the greatest trophy of them all back to Anfield, so it means a great deal obviously.

To me it's the best trophy you can win and to bring it back for all them fans that have supported us right through would be something special.
