Don't kid yourself that anyone in the Premier League is going to do you any favours.

I have a fantastic respect for Liverpool the city, club and the fans, from the time I spent there. That respect will always be there.

The Premier League is the best league in the world; it's so strong. The smaller teams love to try their chances against the big ones, and this is why the game goes back and forth. That can be strenuous, tough on you and your body, but I really love it.

The Premier League is so difficult.

I like to let my football do the talking, I'm respectful of other good teams such as Arsenal.

I am happy to be playing in the Premier League because everyone knows it is the strongest league in the world. There are simply a lot of top teams.

I mean no disrespect to Scottish football, but the Premier League is the biggest stage and highest profile league of all.

I love everything about playing for Newcastle, the club, the fans and the city.

The Premier League is a very strong league. Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool all have a high quality. But those who know me also know that I always want to win titles. And I think that Manchester United are a club which can win titles.

I don't know if every player in the Premier League feels hurt when they lose a game. The right sort is very important. I was naive in thinking that everyone was like me.
