At times they don't like you to kick them and they feel you're not allowed to kick them.

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

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.

If you ask footballers to pick out the player they most admire, so many of them will pick Paul Scholes. His passing and shooting is of the highest level and he’s the most consistent and naturally gifted player we’ve had for a long, long time.

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

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.

Nothing's black or white in our country - you're either brilliant or you're hopeless
