If you want to have a great party at Wembley, don't invite the Germans.

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

I made no secret of the fact I'd love to stay in football and to do that, you need badges. I'm starting them and that's the next step for me - to continue this next season.

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

I didn't watch cartoons, I was too busy playing football.

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.

One accusation you can't throw at me is that I've always done my best.
