Defeat Is Not Worth Thinking About.

Yes, I Do Like To Be In Control. I Do Like Everything To Be Laid Out, To Know What I'm Doing. I'm Very Impatient. I Like Things Done Yesterday, Which Is Probably A Fault Of Mine. I Like Things To Be Neat And Tidy And Organised. I Say What I Want And Show What I Want And I Keep Things Private.

We Go There With Confidence, But We Know There Is A Very Fine Line Between Success And Failure In This Game.

There Is Another Side To Me Which People Don't Often See, But It's Very Hard For Me To Show That. When I Do Interviews, I'm Talking To People I Don't Know And When You Speak To A Stranger You Don't Open Up, Do You? In My Position, People Are Always Looking For Something To Say About Me. And Anything I Do Say, Given Half-a-chance They'll Turn It Round Into Something Spectacular So I've Got To Be Very Careful. That's Why It's Only My Friends And Family Who Know The Real Me. Now My Wife, Lainya, She Could Tell You A Few Stories.

I Want To Be Around When Newcastle Win A Trophy Because I Want To See This Place Lift Off. It Will Be One Hell Of A Party For A Long Time.

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.
