I think we have really integrated well around Manchester. This is the place where we feel at home. We like it here, we love the English way of life and we prefer it much, much more than the south of Europe.

I love Manchester. I always have, ever since I was a kid, and I go back as much as I can. Manchester's my spiritual home. I've been in London for 22 years now but Manchester's the only other place, I think, in the country that I could live.

The country life near Manchester I really love.

We can talk about Manchester! I like coming here, it's a wicked city. It's my second favourite city in England after London. I like Liverpool too but there's a lot more to do in Manchester.

I love Manchester. I like being here, and certainly I see myself being here for a good while yet.

Although I've lived in England for more than twenty years, I still have a foreigner's passion for all the details of English history and rural life.

I really enjoy my life in Manchester, my training, my games, everything.

London has been used as the emblematic English city, but it's far from representative of what life in England is actually about.

Contemporary Britain seems an endlessly fascinating place to me - but if I knew a little bit more about other places, and other times, maybe it wouldn't.

I love England and the historical aspect of it.
