Frank Lampard

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.

I didn't want to be the rebel who was bottom of the class, so I worked hard. They wanted me to stay on for A-Levels, but football came calling - that was my real love.

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'm happy here, and why change when you love the club and the club's in a really good position right now.

I was always pretty good at school, but a lot of it was memorising, maybe cheating off your mates, stuff that gets you through.

If players are performing for you, their age shouldn't really matter, especially because the older players can bring their experience to the table.

Everyone's got unfinished business with Barcelona. They're the greatest team in the world.

The advantage does lie with us because we're at home and if we can't motivate ourselves for this match then we can't motivate ourselves for any match. I think the crowd will be up for it as well.

I don't know if we'd have been as dominant as we were last season. The new things, the new ideas the manager brought in everyone took them on board so well. He is special.

I admit I was somewhat concerned when we started to sign so many players - naturally you are going to worry about whether you can retain your place in the side.

My dad shaped the footballing side of me, and Mum shaped me as a person. I've always been very close to her - we've only ever had one argument, and that was over something stupid when I was 13.

Of course it is going to be difficult for any player to get in the Chelsea side no matter who they are.
