clubs five four games punishment shown tv
They've shown on TV four or five other clubs doing the same and there was no punishment. We've had 80% of our games on telly and it's been highlighted a little more.
best feeling
It's the best feeling I have ever had,
great group top win
It's very important for the knockout stages, it's important to come top psychologically and to win the group would be a great achievement.
two choices proud
I don't envisage I will be captain again, but for two England managers, Steve McClaren and Fabio Capello, I was their first choice and I'm proud of that.
golf play snooker
I like to play snooker, golf as well.
dark littles my-own
When I was little, I didn't like being left on my own in the dark.
cheer home player
Often it feels like we are at a home match when we have so many fans there. The singing, the cheering helps the players. (on Chelsea playing on the road)
hurt real moving
Games are not so bad because the adrenalin keeps you going, but training on a daily basis when every time you move it hurts, that is a real battle.
football said intervals
The manager could not even talk to us at the interval. He said we were bad.
senior kids player
Some of the money from the senior players goes to helping out the younger kids. It is from the players' pool, the fines for being late and so on. Some will go to something like the tsunami appeal and some to helping out young players.
men compassion justice
Politics come from man. Mercy, compassion, and justice come from God.
country retirement jobs
I love playing for my country. I see it as the biggest privilege of my career, so there's no way I'm going to volunteer to give that up. I want to go on for as long as I can. I've got 68 caps and I'd love to think I could get 100. I know there are some players who reach their 30s and announce their international retirement. I totally understand and respect their decisions. We are away a lot and for long spells. But although it's hard, we're doing one of the most privileged jobs in the world.
captains opinion
You don't have to be captain to have an opinion.
player careers looks
For me, Lionel Messi is quite clearly the best player ever. It’s a pleasure to put myself against him and when I finish my career it’s something I can look back on and know I’ve tested myself against the very best.
