GINGER PRINCE NOT GIVING UP ON TITLE JUST YET

Last updated : 09 October 2005 By Ed

"I think we're better equipped to challenge Chelsea this season.

"We know we've got to try to put a bit more pressure on them than last year."

On staying at OT:

"I really can't imagine playing anywhere else and I don't want to either.

"It's never been something that's interested me at all so it's never become an issue really.

"Obviously in football you never know and there may come a time when the manager doesn't want you any more and you have to go.

"That would be the only reason that I would leave."

On goals:

"It just comes naturally really. I never really trained specifically on arriving late or anything like that, it was just that I wanted to score goals. I've always been like that, so going forward has always been natural to me. This season I haven't been forward as much as I have in the past, but I've still had chances to score goals. Unfortunately I've not managed to do that as yet but hopefully it'll happen soon!

"I'd definitely encourage my children to play football. I don't think there's a downside to being a footballer. To play the game every day of your life...what could be better than that? To score goals, to play in front of thousands of people every week, it's a great life and you get your rewards at the end of it too."
