“My dad shaped the footballing side of me, and Mum shaped me as a perso...” — Frank Lampard Quote

My dad shaped the footballing side of me, and Mum shaped me as a person. I've always been very close to her - we've only ever had one argument, and that was over something stupid when I was 13.

Reading and writing is so important, and it's something I am really keen to promote. It's something that can be a bit lost these days with so much else going on.

I'm happy here, and why change when you love the club and the club's in a really good position right now.

I can't stress the importance of working hard enough, work on all aspects of your game. If you does that and you have the ability, you'll come through.

I do insist on making what I hope is sense so there's always a coherent narrative or argument that the reader can follow.

Readers have always read high and low, and to fight that urge is to fight the freedom inherent in the act of reading itself. The only arguments that have any traction, as best as I can see it, are about whether the genre classification of 'young adult' should exist at all.

If you go away with, you know, a girlfriend, wife, whatever, you have an argument on holiday because you're not used to spending that much time with people.

Unfortunately, things are different in climate science because the arguments have become heavily politicised. To say that the dogmas are wrong has become politically incorrect.
