The squad had a get together yesterday just with the players, and it felt like being part of a club side,
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
