Always at Goodison Park, Everton is a very good team.
I first remember Wayne Rooney from a game at Old Trafford in 2002 when he came on as a late substitute for Everton and, in a brilliant 15-minute performance, skipped past me on a couple of occasions.
Midfield, defence - I have even played out wide for Everton, so I will do a job anywhere and give 100 percent.
I hold the record now with Dixie Dean for being the only Everton player to score three Merseyside derby goals at Anfield. I still hope to better it. Things like that, the fans never forget.
It was too short: I've said many times that I would have done things differently had I known I'd only have 10 months because United are one of the few clubs in football who could have given a manager more time, like Bill Kenwright did with me at Everton.
I don't know if desperate is the right word but I know the fans have a big, big desire to see Everton challenging for titles and to win something but we have to go day by day.
I was an Evertonian as a kid, but I've never hated Man United. I've always had respect for them.
I signed as an 11-year-old for Everton. I broke into the Under-18s at the age of 14, then the reserves at 15, then I was in the first-team squad at 16.
I always look in the Sunday paper to see where Everton are in the league - starting, of course, from the bottom up.
If Everton were playing down the bottom of my garden, I'd draw the curtains.
I am joining the people's football club. The majority of people you meet on the street are Everton fans
When I've got nothing better to do, I look down the league table to see how Everton are getting along.
I worked hard at Everton. I learned many things, and I was lucky enough to achieve my goal of returning home.
I had a DVD and I think it was called 'Newcastle United: Flying High' in 2002 or 2003. I used to watch that all of the time, I think it was the year Shearer scored that famous volley against Everton.
My dream is to fight at Goodison Park. Forget Wembley, or Vegas, I just want to fight at Goodison Park. It's been a dream ever since I was a child; no one's ever done it.
I've met some Evertonians in the street, and they've been friendly. I've had taxi drivers who have been Everton fans. They've been really nice.
To be honest, from England Under-16s, through the 17s and 18s, really all the way through my youth career, I played at centre-half. For some reason, when I made my debut at Everton, I just played in central midfield, and it went from there.
In my living room I always used to tell my mum 'one day I'll score for Everton' and when that happened it was unbelievable for me.
I was very fortunate that I had a great scouting staff at Everton from the academy, because it was those people who got the likes of Ross Barkley and Wayne Rooney when they were young.
There's been a lot come through at Everton: Wayne Rooney, obviously, and lately, Victor Anichebe has made it, James Vaughan, and the likes of myself.
I am happy at Everton, and I can't do anything else other than concentrate on my own game.
So long as I keep performing week in, week out for Everton, I will have the chance to stay England number one.
For me, Goodison is the toughest away ground to come to. I have experienced it.
We had some glorious nights at Goodison and the fans were superb.
Its Arsenal 0 - Everton 1, and the longer it stays like that the more you've got to fancy Everton.
