You never get fed up scoring goals.

It does not bother me that some say I'm dull and boring because the people that do know me will tell you a different story. It is very difficult to be open with people you don't know.

I still get butterflies when England are playing.

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

One accusation you can't throw at me is that I've always done my best.
Alan Shearer

Basically, a manager is a father figure to 20 or 25 blokes. It's about trying to get the best out of them and creating team spirit.

Sometimes going in for a hard tackle generates a louder cheer than a great pass.

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