Being in the Premier League would be a dream come true.
You do get a chance to think about things when you're at home, but that is when you want to relax and forget about football for a bit. Honestly, you don't really get time to stop and think about things. We have a job to do. That is all we concentrate on, going game by game.
There is only one thing I want to do here, and that is play football to the best of my ability. If I let things start distracting me, I'm not going to be able to do that, which will jeopardise the team as well.
Confidence is sky high, but we're also all very grounded. We know, in football, nothing can be taken for granted.
In the changing-room, I'm seen as one of the jokers. I like to have a laugh; there are quite a few of us. That what helps make a good atmosphere in the changing-rooms. You've got to have a few jokers but obviously serious when the time comes.
Just as I am working hard to adjust to a new level, someone comes along and asks me to move up again. I'm not complaining about it; I just get on with trying to make sure I don't let anyone down. Training with England is just a different gravy again. Movement-wise, finishing-wise, you can learn such a lot from watching the very best in action.
Fitness has always been one of my strengths. I can do all the long-distance runs. When I was at school and we entered the competitions, I used to do the 100m, 200m, and the 1500m as well, so it's never just been a pace thing.
Competition for places can only benefit you. If you know you've got that much competition, then you're just going to have to work that extra bit harder so you can catch the gaffer's eye.
When training and matches are finished, we'll all go out and have food together; we're always in touch with each other.
I like a drink and enjoy being Jack the Lad. I've had a few scraps and spent a night in a cell.
When I was playing for the reserves, if you got a call-up you got a straight £30. I'd never been paid for football!
After a Saturday game, we're in on a Sunday to cool down and make sure we're fully back at it again. But it doesn't really affect things too much. It's basically like you've had a game on the Saturday, and then you're in the cup on a Tuesday.
On a real course, I'd probably want to throw my club in the water if I hit a duff shot. I'll give golf a miss - it's definitely not my sport.
It wasn't nice having to work full-time. It's a rise that I wouldn't have predicted, but it's a good example for younger players of what can be achieved.
There's a lot of people blocked on my Twitter for various reasons which I don't need to get into.
If I go in the gym, it will slow me down. I don't go in for weights or anything like that. Each and every person is different, and this is my way, and I'm sure if someone else tried doing what I do, then it probably wouldn't work for them.
You hear players in the past say that it's just a job for them, but for me, it is nothing like that. I literally wish I could play football every day.
I am so proud of what I've achieved personally, but without the lads around me, nothing would have been possible.
If I'm played out of position, I'll always give 100%, but everyone knows I would rather play down the middle.
Everyone works hard for each other, and if we're having an off day, everyone else is there to pick things up.
