Everyone's got unfinished business with Barcelona. They're the greatest team in the world.
There is such a belief in the squad that we could really do something.
A lot of things happened when I left there, and to be fair they treated me really bad, and now I have to play against them so I don't have any feelings for them at all.
Eden Hazard is a great player. He has magic
I'm really happy here. I think anyone who knows me well, and the fans too I hope, they know that I love the area, and the bond that I've had with the fans has been fantastic.
I loved reading Roald Dahl when I was young but I had forgotten a lot about the books. I read the 'BFG' on the iPad the other day and it was so interesting to see his descriptions of clothes and places.
Footballers do get a hard time, and there is a lot of generalization going on. When you get to meet players and know them as lads, it's always a bit different.
Training's completely different now. It used to be a lot of running and work without the ball. Now it's all with the ball, which any player loves.
To be honest, I was Mum's boy. Always was, always will be.
Being faster would probably make me better at football.
For present buying, I go to Harrods because there are great personal shoppers, who point me in the right direction.
I always dedicate my goals to my mum. I lost her a couple of years ago. She was my biggest supporter and is always with me.
I am certainly not the most talented player in the world; there's many a more talented player than me.
I come from a football family which has really helped.
