Players and people make mistakes.

It's impossible for one player to play the whole year. I've learnt that myself, and you're always bound to get injuries.

It's good to be around an English manager.

It's a pleasure to play for England, and I will never say no.

I don't think one player can ever win a World Cup.

Of course there's going to be expectations when you're playing well in the national team. But you just have to deal with that.

It's a dream to play for England, so if I'm selected, I'd look forward to playing. But it's down to the powers above me.

The criticism that Arsene gets is just a joke.

Some players have got their price, but, to be honest, that's not the way I look at the game.

All I think about is playing at the highest level and in the top competitions so I can measure myself against the best in the world.

Obviously I want to win things, and I want to do it with Arsenal.

I'm always in contact with my manager at Arsenal, who has been a big part of my career, and I'll always talk to him.

I will never say no to my country.

Josh McEachran is a great player.

We have got loyalty at Arsenal, and players have shown that in the past.

It's the same for any team... you have to keep your best players.

I am happy at Arsenal.

It's easy to fit into a team like Arsenal.

Playing with people like Cesc Fabregas makes it easy for you. He will talk to you and talk you through games.

To play in the Champions League is an experience a player of 33 may not have had in his whole career. To be doing that at 18... well, it's such a bonus.

All of a sudden, when you're injured, you realise everything revolves around your core. It's crucial for balance and absorbing impact.

I work on my speed and strength every day, and I do a lot of work on my first five yards. For a footballer, that's really important.

The intensity of the Premier League is incredible. The levels of fitness you have to reach just to survive in it is absurd.

I want to be Arsenal captain.

When I was 18 or 19, I would come into training, and I'd be the last in and first out. I was one of those that took everything for granted, and I'm honest about that now.

Football was a natural thing for me, and with no injuries or injury history that would stop me from training, I just enjoyed coming in every day and playing; then it was taken away from me.

I know my body better. I know how to be more professional. I know how to get myself ready for the games, which is the most important thing.

Paolo Di Canio was my all-time hero.

It's difficult when you have a new baby but, at the same time, a nice distraction.

I went to Bournemouth and had a great time. The idea was just to prove to myself that I can still play at that level.

No 10 is the job I want: in the middle of things, moving the ball forward.

You need to be able to defend. It's massively important, and at Arsenal, we've sometimes been guilty of forgetting that.

I play the way I do because it's the Arsenal way.

I'm probably the worst fantasy league player ever. I don't really score that often, and I get booked quite a lot as well - when you get booked, you lose points.

I am a player who always wants to give more.

My family have always been West Ham fans, so growing up, I used to go and watch them, and so I was a West Ham supporter.

The fans at Upton Park are great.

Owen Coyle was great to me.

The Arsenal fans are great; every week they are 60,000, and the away support is fantastic.

I don't think you can put into words the feelings you get playing week in and week out.

When I was young at Arsenal, you take it for granted, playing all the time.

Sometimes a manager can only do so much, as in prepare a team, and then the team have to go out there and perform.

I said, even when I was left out, 'I am an England fan, and I'll be supporting the boys.' It's in my blood; it's too hard not to.

I've been in tournaments before when you've been away for a while, and you're not really playing, you're just training. Sometimes you can feel like you're not really part of it.

I want Arsenal to want me. If they didn't want me, it would hurt.

I want to play first-team football.

I want to play in the Premier League, the Champions League, and I want to continue playing for England. If I'm going to do that, I have to play for my club and put in good performances for my club because there are other English midfielders who are doing that in the Premier League.

I am willing to go abroad if the right opportunity comes up.

We have loyalty at Arsenal, and players have shown that in the past.

Certain things come naturally, and tackling wasn't one of them; I'd sometimes go a bit over the top when I was younger.
