Lampard picks his head up and knocks it out to the wing.
I've got a great life that I really enjoy. But there is something chewing at me inside: that adrenaline rush from football, I miss that.
I didn't watch cartoons, I was too busy playing football.
I've got two girls. I like to play golf. Apart from that there's not a lot goes on in my life. So I am boring, aren't I?
This is the better one. It's identical.
The managers are getting paid very well by their respective clubs to do a job for their clubs not the country they are working in.
When I was a young boy I wanted to play for Newcastle United, I wanted to wear the number nine shirt and I wanted to score goals at St James' Park. I've lived my dream and I realise how lucky I've been to have done that.
After being knocked out of the Champions League, which was a huge disappointment, the players sat down, had a meeting and said that the only way to get over that defeat was to win the UEFA Cup. That situation hasn't changed.
There's no point in us winning on Saturday and then going and getting beaten at Villa.
I am fearing the worst, unfortunately - I have been injured before plenty of times so I know the scenario and I haven't got a great hope.
It was a tremendous turnaround because we were rubbish in first half.
I work with him every day and I don't see any desire missing. I hope that's the start of a run for Alan.
If the manager said I wasn't going to be a regular I'd have to consider things,
Glenn is the one who gets us up. He is the one who is preparing the team, who is coaching us and who is talking to us before and after games. He deserves all the credit and we now have something to go for for the rest of the season. I can only hope we can repay him and all the supporters.
