MY WEEK

WHAT I’VE BEEN UP TO...

IT HAS been all go this week. With games last Saturday, then Wednesday, and another today, all my time has been spent either training or going through recovery at the training ground and, of course, I took care of my contract extension. Saying that, I have been watching plenty of I’m A Celebrity with my phone on speed dial to get Dennis Wise to do the trials! I was a ball boy at Chelsea when he played there and he used to give me grief all the time, so this is my chance to get revenge! Love Dennis, really.

WHO CAUGHT MY EYE...

RAHEEM STERLING HE IS on fire at the minute and his winning goals this week against Huddersfield and Southampton look like e having a big impact on the destination of the title. He’s shown hunger and desire to get into the box and make the difference that I hadn’t seen from him before. The results are there for all to see.

WHAT I’M LISTENING TO...

I HAVE had Kasabian’s back catalogue on loop, particularly all the classics off their West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum album, such as Fire and Underdog. It’s been getting me revved up to go and see them tonight in London. From what I have seen of their arena tour, it has looked epic so far. If you haven’t seen them live, you need to go and experience it!

NEXT UP FOR ME...

THE only thing that matters today is beating Swansea. It has been a difficult few days after the successive defeats to Crystal Palace and Liverpool but we have not lost focus and everyone at the club is geared up for getting three big points.
