I remember saying after I left that I would love to say goodbye and thank the manager and at least get a handshake.
I don't think he would have a problem with any place he went to. I think he is an experienced manager and can handle it.
Some strong words have been said in the dressing room by the manager and the lads have had to take it because it has been an embarrassment. We will put it right, that is all we can do.
It is frustrating to hear the fans criticize the manager so close to the World Cup. As players it is hard for us to take. They are entitled to their views because it costs a lot of money to follow the team everywhere.
I think the next England manager should be someone who's going to be right for the job whether he is English or foreign. I think the players would be happy to play under anyone if they are good for the team. But all the talk needs to stop about who's coming in because we need to concentrate on a huge competition.
I'm captain but so many other players are captain of their club sides and we need that. We are lucky to have that.
I think it is better for the team to have a regular penalty-taker rather than me who hardly ever takes them for Real,
One of the reasons why Brooklyn didn't go to a (Spanish) school was because of the press attention,
It's devastating for him but I don't think it's a major strain, I think it's his hamstring again.
The relationship between the players and the FA at the moment is questionable,
There was the normal booing when I took corners but that's what the fans are there for - to give the opposition stick. It's nice when you're 1-0 up, you can smile - and you get a few smiles back sometimes
A lot was made of our last performance and rightly so because it was not up to the level we are capable of,
It's his decision where he will end up and I know that Celtic is the club he supports and people have linked him with there since he left United.
I think the 2006 World Cup in Germany is probably as far as it will go for me as an England player,
