I like the tag of being the world's most expensive player. It's an honour and a privilege.

I'm lucky and I appreciate that. I love every minute of every day.

I've got two girls. I like to play golf. Apart from that there's not a lot goes on in my life. So I am boring, aren't I?

The managers are getting paid very well by their respective clubs to do a job for their clubs not the country they are working in.

People are very proud of Newcastle, very proud to come from here. This is a working class City and they just want to enjoy themselves and live life to the full. They work all week, pick their wages up at the end of the week and they spend it over a weekend by having a good time and watching the football. That's our life.

You never get fed up scoring goals.

One of the biggest fears of players in a shootout is letting your teammates down.
