Of Chelsea's four finals between 1994 and 2002, I was at Blackburn for two of them, injured for one and a loser in the other so I don't have the best personal memories.

It is never good to be injured. I want always to play and help my team-mates. I can't be happy if I am not playing.

The PFA awards were announced recently, and I cannot believe our own Frank Lampard was not so much as nominated.

There are many memories that I cannot forget, and I think I have a special relationship with fans, but think the best is yet to come.

April is a huge month with games against Newcastle, Bolton, Everton and West Ham in the league, and a Wembley date with Arsenal.

I mentioned how close the goalkeeping group is, but that is true for the whole squad. We are very united and always have been...

Hiddink has a clean slate and with the short-term tenure he can do the job without worrying what anyone thinks of him.

This week I made my debut for the full Slovakia team. I hope many caps will follow in the future and the best way to achieve that is to keep progressing and playing with Chelsea.

My last game for the club was against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge when we beat them 3-1 - Steven Gerrard was sent off for hacking me down!

You never know how things are going to turn out and the Stoke game could just be a vital turning point in the season.

I remember Christmas Day training, and they were some of the quickest sessions ever seen.

It's just getting towards Christmas time so I thought I would take my turn and wish you all a good time over the festive period.

The boys haven't been convincing of late but it goes to show the difference between Premier League and European football.

Sure it is nice to score goals because this is my job, but more important is that the team wins because we want to win the championship this year.

I had been looking forward to writing this on the topic of the side's brilliant unbeaten run, but with defeat on Sunday, I have had to change my plans a little!

I'm writing to you from the medical room at a quiet training ground, as most of the lads are away with their countries on international duty at the moment.
