he's always sounded like that in interviews though, I remember the Inside Sport interview he gave about 3 years a go, he seemed so mature and articulate. Then a fortnight later he was arrested for beating random people up in Liverpool.
I do think there's evidence to suggest he's managing to control his temperament better this season though, remaining calm in the Diaby incident yesterday and not retaliating when Karl Henry repeatedly fouled him suggest he has turned a corner.
