While the World Cup is great every four years, I think people struggle to get themselves excited about qualifiers against the smaller nations. It will take some good performances from the national team to get the feel-good factor back, as far as the England team goes at least.

I hate to admit this but I don't even know how to make a cup of tea or coffee. I can boil a kettle for a pot noodle and I've been known to warm up some food in the microwave.

If you only ever give 90% in training then you will only ever give 90% when it matters.

I feel that every time I get the ball at the moment I am going to score.

To be the best you have to forget partying and concentrate all your energies on the football.

All Newcastle fans need to know is that I will be giving everything for their cause now.

I have never thought of a scenario where international football was not a massive part of our [England] game.
