It's three points but it's more than that because it's against Sunderland. But we have got to get some consistency into our game.
It was a blatant dive. There was absolutely no contact and I thought that at the time.
I've heard about offers from other clubs... and it's flattering. Obviously I'm doing something right.
It's a very good win, there was a lot of pressure on us for obvious reasons. We proved tonight we mean business. We want to go all the way and win it.
It was a tremendous turnaround because we were rubbish in first half.
They weren't frightened to put a tackle in and we had to be committed and get stuck in.
It's been far too long that this club has been without silverware, but we've got a great chance to change that,
It's a huge game for us. Defeat is not worth thinking about.
There's no way the future's over for Martin Keown, Tony Adams or David Seaman.
I don't watch a lot of TV, to be honest. With three kids I have my hands full.
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.
I'd like to play for Newcastle United before I retire. The club is in my blood.
As a kid I always wanted to be a centre-forward. I wanted the buzz and thrill of scoring goals from an early age.
I didn't watch cartoons, I was too busy playing football.
