Birmingham City signing Curtis Davies says he'll continue to be honest in interviews.
Davies hit the headlines following his debut for Aston Villa, two months after starting by judging his own display during a Carling Cup defeat by Leicester City as akin to that of "a pub player".
Davies said, "'What's the point in me doing an interview if I'm going to lie.
"It's nice of you to say I wasn't that bad, but I thought it that way so I said so. I've been like that since I played at Under 9 level. If we win 3-0 and I thought I didn't play well, I'll come off and say it.
"It's great to feel wanted. At Villa, going to training became a chore, like going to work. I know that sounds strange because it is my job and that's what I get paid for but, I've never experienced a nine-to-five job, so I can't describe that.
"I was just getting to the stage where it was a drag training with no reward at the end of it. I play football for a living so it's nice to feel good about that again."
