When it came down to Real Madrid or Newcastle there was no question in my mind, ... I want to play football. I love the Premiership - I've missed it while I've been away.

Well, in an ideal world I want to succeed here, play as much as I can and score many goals.

I'd love to go and I'd love to play for my country and go to a World Cup again. I've got to accept I'm not in the current squad and just think, 'If I get it, it's a bonus and I'll give it everything.' But it's hard to do when you've been thinking a different way all your life.

I joined Twitter and you read a lot of the comments. You're biting your lip and you want to reply but you know a headline will be made from it and you don't want to give people the satisfaction.
