It's always nice to see familiar faces.

It's better to play football with a smile on your face.
I'll always be thankful to Villa for giving me the chance to play first-team football regularly.
As footballers, we do get lazy sometimes and take the ball with our preferred foot to control it, but that split second of controlling it with your left foot and playing with your right can make all the difference in creating a chance or scoring a goal.
I want to be the best in the world - everyone wants to be the best in the world - and that's what I want to strive to do.
I'm going to repay my mum so much because she has kept my feet on the ground.
I am not going to sit here and disrespect Tottenham one bit because what they have done for me over the years is fantastic, and I am more than grateful. The way they have made the stepping stones in the right direction over the years I have been there is crazy.
The Tottenham way is attacking football - that's what the fans expect.
Gary Neville never seemed to know when he was beaten, and Ashley Cole never gets beaten.
It's an enjoyable sport; we all love to play the game, and fans love to support it.
Spurs will always have a place in my heart. They gave me a chance to play Premier League football, and I'll be forever indebted to them.
I gambled when I left QPR to go to Aston Villa half-way through the season when we were winning every Championship game, and that paid off. You just get a sense inside you, and you have to go.
I don't go throwing money about - if I did, I think my mum and dad would be on my back because that's not the way I've been brought up.
Sometimes you need to come out of your comfort zone a little bit.
It was disappointing to be left out of the Premier League line-up, but it was a reality check to sit back and look on the bench.
I just think I have to be a defender. If I can attack, it's a bonus.
I was the last one to get a scholarship out of my year - at 14, I think. I couldn't play up front because I was too small.
I am listening to a book by the guy who founded Nike, and I can relate to it. He struggled.
I was a Sheffield United fan from when my grandad, who's sadly passed away now, got a season ticket for me when I was four.
I'm not looking into the future. I take every game as it comes, and as long as I am on the pitch and playing football, that is what keeps me happy.
I used to play central defence for Sheffield United. I had Chris Morgan at the side of me, which helped me a lot because, if I did anything wrong, I'd be sure to find out about it.
I thought it was really important for my son to come to a World Cup with my missus, who has been there for me from day one and supported me.
I've got an England shirt hung up in my house from when I was an unused sub against Denmark. I cherish that.
Having a two-year-old son is challenging, and my missus is only 21, so we're both young, and it is difficult.
When you don't give the forwards the service, then it's difficult for them to score. Not everyone's a Gareth Bale.
If I sit here and say I don't agree with VAR, I'd be lying.
I want to play right-back. I have worked my whole life to get to where I am now in a World Cup squad and to showcase my talent in the World Cup stage, playing in my position.
If I can force my winger backwards, it just comes down to who's fitter, and I like to think I'm pretty fit.
I'm a perfectionist. I want everything done right. When it's not done right, I'm not happy.
In any football I have played in - and I have played in League One and as an international at the World Cup - the bare minimum is running around and showing the desire for the shirt. Then, the higher you go up the leagues, your football takes control of that.
You probably learn more on the bench.
My family didn't have much. You know, we didn't have much and everything. From when I was 17, I moved to London, you know, and I - obviously, it's bettered my family, and I'm just grateful, really.
Working under Pep Guardiola, a chance like that doesn't come along too often. That's no disrespect to Mauricio Pochettino, but the people that Pep has worked with grow as players.
Sometimes you can almost play the game with a blindfold on.
It's disappointing to lose a game with the chance to go into the semi-finals of the Champions League.
When I'm out and about or walking my dogs, United fans are coming up to me saying, 'We'd rather City win the league than Liverpool.' It's strange to hear, but I can assure you the United players aren't going to leave a red carpet and say, 'Go on, City, score past us.'
I like to think I'm a grown-up, but it's just nice you can have a civil conversation with your boss, you're both on the same page, and you've had a text, not about football, just about golf.
I just want to learn and try to be the best player I can be.
I watched Pablo Zabaleta countless times on YouTube and clips, because I think his timing of runs into the box is fantastic.
I'm all about assists; I'm not really greedy.
I don't want to score; as long as I set people up and then they get the goals, that's all I'm bothered about.
Every game is important.
The Manchester City fans have their opinion on the Champions League. It is down to us, as players, to create the atmosphere in there and help the fans.
For us, as players, I am concentrating on the game rather than worrying about the fans, but obviously, you do want the atmosphere - when you do go to certain grounds, it is difficult to play there when you have got the atmosphere, the fans are right on their side.
I was unfortunate at Tottenham.
It's always hard to sleep after a night game.
You have to remember that professional football is a job, too, and some people have to get results on the pitch to pay to live.
If you're lucky enough to get into a Premier League or Championship team straight away, well done to you, but I feel really grateful for the experience that I had at the lower end.
It's a big part of my game, attacking.
I want to improve as a player, but it's all about the team.
