The Arsenal captain said that "Arsenal thrive on these sort of games," referring to the upcoming title decider against Man Utd at Highbury on the 16th of April. "It is hard to do it once but once you have done it you know how to do it. And we still know how to do it," referring I hope, to winning the league.

He also says that he is happy to commit the rest of his career to Arsenal (so sign that contract already!), and that he would be willig to stop his international career in order to further his club career.

"If you try to carry on too long you can cut your career short," he said. "So I think that with so many games being played I will stop my international career early. Then I will play just for my club - after all they pay my wages."
