When I was playing, there were always lots of teams in contention for the league - Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Leeds. Every week was a big game and a big battle.

We were at our best when we were playing in the dance halls of Liverpool and Hamburg. The world never saw that.

Our number one opponents are not Liverpool, Arsenal or Manchester United. It is ourselves at Chelsea.

The Premier League is a very strong league. Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool all have a high quality. But those who know me also know that I always want to win titles. And I think that Manchester United are a club which can win titles.

But he has to do it week in, week out and not just against the big teams. He has to raise his game against everyone.

It has been a long week but things have taken a turn for the best. I am very optimistic.
