Defeat Is Not Worth Thinking About.

The Fa Cup Means A Lot. There Is A Real Passion Here For The Competition Which You Don't Get Elsewhere. It's A Love Affair. It's Part And Parcel Of Living Up Here. People Might Think I'm Daft, But I'm Not Wrong; I'd Rather Win The Cup Than The League.

My Motto In Life Is 'if You Give 100 Per Cent Then No One Can Ask Any More'.

If People Are Going To Write Bad Things About Me Because It Makes News, I Can Brush It Aside Because I've Had This For 10 Years. I'm Big Enough And Strong Enough To Cope With It. It's What Comes With Being Alan Shearer.

One Accusation You Can't Throw At Me Is That I've Always Done My Best.

Football's Not Just About Scoring Goals - It's About Winning.
