This is the better one. It's identical.
I made no secret of the fact I'd love to stay in football and to do that, you need badges. I'm starting them and that's the next step for me - to continue this next season.
Nothing's black or white in our country - you're either brilliant or you're hopeless
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.
I always dreamed about scoring at St. James' Park. I fancied my chances and the ball flew into the net. I was ecstatic.
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.
We go there with confidence, but we know there is a very fine line between success and failure in this game.
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.
At times they don't like you to kick them and they feel you're not allowed to kick them.
Andy Carroll will cause anyone problems and I don't see a problem in that
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.
You only get one chance of an England debut.
One of the biggest fears of players in a shootout is letting your teammates down.
If you ask footballers to pick out the player they most admire, so many of them will pick Paul Scholes.
