People react to criticism in different ways, and my way is definitely to come out fighting.

We rather think it was some personal interplay between the people, who perhaps knew each other. Certainly they were fighting and uncontrollable, and clearly the calming techniques which we teach our cabin crews didn't work. Diversion was the only option.

There's nothing wrong with constructive criticism, and I learn from that and better myself. I'm not expecting anyone to be sycophantic in any way; I never expected that.

I just want people to see me as a hard-working footballer and someone who is passionate about the game.

Everyone's been so quick to say that I'm really thick or I haven't got a brain. People will think whatever they want to think.

I'm not one of those people who is not looking forward to getting old. I'm happy with my life.
