Newcastle fans never cease to amaze me. If there was a trophy for best supporters this lot would win it hands down every year.

I've turned down Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus and Manchester United to play here. I hope everyone already knows how much it means to me to play for Newcastle United.

Lampard picks his head up and knocks it out to the wing.

If people are going to write bad things about me because it makes news, I can brush it aside because I've had this for 10 years. I'm big enough and strong enough to cope with it. It's what comes with being Alan Shearer.

You should always give 100%. If you do that then no-one can ask any more of you. Someone once said to me when I was a kid: 'If you're asked to do ten sprints, by all means do 11 but never do nine because you're only cheating yourself'.

If you take the money away, a lot of the footballers would still be playing football. So, the money has nothing to do with it.

First is first. That's the way I was brought up. Second or third are nowhere.
