  • Fabregas: Little Britain is the best. Did you know Matt Lucas is an Arsenal fan? They tell me he's a regular at our matches, though I've never met him. That guy is so funny. And my girlfriend and I also love watching WAGS Boutique. We stumbled upon it one night and now we're hooked! (edit)
  • Fabregas: There are aspects of my game that I can improve, such as my left foot, which is only really for standing on, and my aerial abilities. Thankfully I'm still young, and God willing I will have many more years to keep learning(edit)
  • Fabregas: My first World Cup memory is of Zidane's two goals against Brazil in the final of France 98. The other memory that stands out is not such a happy one - the quarter-final between Spain and Korea in 2002, when Joaquin crossed from the goalline for (Fernando) Morientes to score but the linesman ruled that the ball had gone out.(edit)

  • Fabregas:My debut was a dream come true, it was wonderful. I felt really comfortable surrounded by all these great players.(edit)
  • Fabregas: To make it into the final 23 would be a dream come true. I must thank Luis Aragones for giving me the chance to make my debut and prove what I'm capable of. He's a vastly experienced, very professional coach who's not afraid to blood young players, which is very important.(edit)
