I always practise penalties, but what people don't understand is that you can never recreate that pressure situation that you're under.

I always dreamed about scoring at St. James' Park. I fancied my chances and the ball flew into the net. I was ecstatic.

For me, Paul Scholes has been the best midfield player in the Premier League. By a mile. He has the lot. He scores and creates goals, he can pass the ball, he can head it, and rounds all this off with a competitive streak.

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 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?

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

When I go home every night, I can look in the mirror and say I have given 110 per cent for Newcastle United. If people aren't happy with that, I can't give any more.
