The FA Cup means a lot. There is a real passion here for the competition which you don't get elsewhere. It's a love affair. It's part and parcel of living up here. People might think I'm daft, but I'm not wrong; I'd rather win the Cup than the League.

Any change of my style, the way I've played for 10 years, will not be a drastic one. Yes, I've always given as good as I've got; as a forward you have to do that because, if you don't look after yourself, you might find yourself being thrown in a hole and buried.

Andy Carroll will cause anyone problems and I don't see a problem in that

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 still get butterflies when England are playing.

I don't watch a lot of TV, to be honest. With three kids I have my hands full.

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.
