Whenever you think you're staying somewhere, you're gone. But I do feel attached to Reading. This is where I made a name for myself, and this is where I want stay.

A lot of things are going to have to change for them to be ready for next season. This is a wake-up call because all of a sudden you are trying to complete on a new level.

If you start thinking how great next year is going to be, you're going to lose sight of what's really important, and that's beating Crewe. Teams can still catch us. We need to concentrate on that.

My boys don't know any different. Basically, they have grown up in England ... This is home to them.

We're bringing three goalkeepers to the World Cup, and I want to be one of them.

Everyone keeps bringing it up. Maybe it's helped us keep our focus a little bit. As a team we've grown together.
