Confidence makes a big difference.

I'd rather play golf than go on to Wikipedia!

My dad has a few boats, but I'm not into fishing.

My grandad was a fisherman and my dad was a fisherman.

We are a small nation that nobody expects anything of.

Joining the family business was always Plan B or Plan C.

It's a good feeling when you deliver under a lot of pressure.

Things just seem easier when you build up a bit of a points gap.

With young players you never know how quickly they're going adapt.

When someone gets injured someone has to step up and fill his place.

You ask any player and the Champions League is where he wants to be.

Moise Kean looks like a very good footballer with a lot of different qualities.

My dad played in Iceland and I think went over to Sweden for a couple of years.

It is good for the morale of the team when you see top players being brought in.

Genetically I think I'm more equipped for long distances than high-intensity sprints.

I'd spent three and a half years at Swansea, played my first Premier League game there.

This is why I had to go to Swansea. I didn't want to stay on the bench for another year.

I just wanted to play football and didn't get the chance in Germany in my second season there.

Of course I want to play my way into the starting line-up, that's what every player wants to do.

I played on frozen pitches, on snow. I had only a couple of years indoor before I went to England.

I do not regret it and I really enjoyed my time at Spurs. I improved a lot playing with big players.

Of course, as a young boy it was always my dream to either go to the Premier League or the Bundesliga.

Playing for Iceland, you always find the stats are against you, so I never pay too much attention to them.

I always say I enjoyed my time at Spurs and I improved as a player so I don't look back and think 'what if?'

It's something we've all been waiting to see happen to Icelandic football - to actually go to the World Cup.

Swansea is totally different. The people here are so friendly, different to London where everyone is in a rush.

All of the players want to play in the Premier League. I think it's about being in the right place at the right time.

Bony is probably physically stronger than Kane but I think Harry Kane comes a little bit deeper to pick up the ball some times.

For me, I think the Champions League is the biggest trophy, but playing for your country in the World Cup... it's hard to choose.

You can understand why it is difficult for the players who have long-term injuries when they have to watch the boys going out training every day.

The things I love are scoring goals and getting in the box, getting on the end of crosses and taking up positions where the ball might fall to you.

If you get a few successive games you are going to get in to your stride and once you start playing more you get more confidence and then you can push on.

Tottenham have always played fantastic football. I remember watching them many years ago when I was younger, and they'd concede three but they'd score four.

Beckham and Frank Lampard were the ones that I particularly liked watching, and with Lampard scoring so many goals from midfield it was hard not to look up to him.

Frank Lampard was always the player I tried to model myself on. The amount of goals he scored from midfield was incredible. On and off the pitch, he was what I wanted to be.

My interest in football in England started very young. The Premier League was on TV and my dad used to watch it so naturally I would be sat with him on a Saturday or a Sunday watching the football with him.

My dad and my brother took me over to England a few times to train with various clubs. My brother basically ended up sending a CD to a few clubs of me playing football. That seems like a long time ago now, but it ended up signing for Reading.

It's nice to have pressure. It keeps you going and keeps you working hard but if you think too much about it then it could get into your head, and you play your best football when you're enjoying yourself and if you're relaxed - so that's what I'll try to do.

I probably played too much on the left for my liking - I'm not that kind of player who is going to get the ball and run past the full-back. Of course if it happens, you've got to do a job for the team, and no problem. But I feel better - and think you get more out of me - playing me through the middle.
