When you work hard, you are not going to be happy the whole time, you are going to have frustration, bad times in life.

A second-choice goalkeeper can sometimes say: 'Oh, it's a lack of games, it's different when you train compared to when you play.' But there is no excuse if you do everything right.

Talent is not enough. It's a mental game. You have to deal with frustration when you don't play, you have to deal with the pressure. There are no excuses.

It's been up and down in my Arsenal career, to be honest.

I was always progressing and pushing my career forward.

When I went to Reading last season. I said to myself, 'This is my last loan.' My body was always tired at the end of the season from travelling and not knowing what I was going to be doing next, so I made that challenge to myself that it was my last loan and I had to do well.
