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.

There was a big possibility that I would have had to leave Newcastle had Ruud Gullit stayed as manager.

You have to go out onto the pitch feeling good about yourself. That can give you that extra 30 per cent.

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.

If people don't like my style, then I can't do anything about that. I have been like that since I first entered into the game and it hasn't done me bad in the past, so I am not going to change now.

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

I've got a great life that I really enjoy. But there is something chewing at me inside: that adrenaline rush from football, I miss that.
