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

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.

I spend time with my family. I have got two daughters who are too young to know their Dad's a footballer. They just want to play with their Dad. I like to play golf, too, but apart from that, that's me, I'm afraid.

We go there with confidence, but we know there is a very fine line between success and failure in this game.

Sometimes going in for a hard tackle generates a louder cheer than a great pass.

I've never wanted to leave. I'm here for the rest of my life, and hopefully after that as well.

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