I've always said I'd like to give management a crack one day, but I'm not ready for this big club yet. It's a massive club with a great following and whoever gets it right will have great job on their hands because it is a big, big football club.
Some players are criticised for having no loyalty. Well, I wanted to go back home and play for the club I supported. I don't think that's a crime.
It's been far too long that this club has been without silverware, but we've got a great chance to change that,
I'd like to play for Newcastle United before I retire. The club is in my blood.
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'm not selling the club to him any more. I don't think I have to - the tough part was getting him here. We all said that, if we were to get him here, he would take to the football club, the area and the people. I think he's done that. The people have certainly taken to him - not only on the football pitch, but off it as well. They've made him feel very welcome and he's grateful for that. He likes the area, which I think is a big plus.
I've never wanted to leave. I'm here for the rest of my life, and hopefully after that as well
It would be absolutely huge, as it would be for 95 percent of the Premiership clubs. I've spoken to him and tried to convince him. We're in there fighting for him.
I shook her hand and I was just looking at her t**s.
It would have been easy for me to go out there and stick one on him because that is what I wanted to do, ... He has done me, it was blatant. The referee was five yards away and he did nothing.
I wanted to go the full distance, yes, but if I have to finish, then it's not a bad way to finish, coming to your local enemies and scoring a goal that's helped us get a 4-1 win.
Confidence is not very high at the moment,
There's no point in us winning on Saturday and then going and getting beaten at Villa.
There's no doubt he can finish as top scorer, and I sincerely hope he does. I would be more than happy is Michael were to take that away from me.
