I can't leave England.

I was always ready to leave England for some absurd reason.

I am as passionate about the England team as anyone.

No matter how much money you have or what kind of cocoon you live in, the reality is that you have lost a game of football and let England's fans down. We are bothered.

I really wanted to get out of England.

I have no intention of letting this decision change the way that I approach my training and preparation for games, but the time has come for me to realise that I have gone as far as I can go with this England team.

I am quite prepared, if we can do it without any disrespect to the Crown of England, to bring our titles to the marketplace and make a bonfire of them.

Whatever was the conduct of England, I am equally arraigned.

There is a huge responsibility on all of us to get England through. It would be one of the biggest disasters in sports history if we blew it and we must make sure it does not happen.

The people of England are never so happy as when you tell them they are ruined.
