If I Could Have Been Anyone In

When I Came To Chelsea From West Ham There Were Certain Parts Of My Game I Felt I Needed To Improve And I Like To Think Now That I Have Shown Dramatic Improvement.

But To Be Fair, Arsenal Are A Quality Side. They're Not Where They Are By Chance - They Are Not Top Of The League And Unbeaten Because They Are A Bad Team.

I Remember Being In West Ham's Youth Team And Seeing Jody Morris Play For Chelsea At 17 And You Scoring For Liverpool On Your Debut When You Were 18. I Was Watching It On Soccer Saturday And I Was Like, "i Can't Believe He's Scored!" It's Professional Jealousy. It's Best To Be Honest About It. It Gave Me Real Desire. I Was Thinking "god I Want That To Be Me".

My Dad Being A Player. I Was Never That Quick As A Kid, So I Had To Get Quicker. I Trained Hard. I Was Never That Player Who Could Roll Out And Relax, Like Michael [ Owen] Or Stevie [ Gerrard], Who Were Natural.

I Don't Want To Be A Passenger Sitting On The Bench Not Doing Much, Even In My Older Years.
