No money in the world can buy a white England shirt.
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.
Sometimes going in for a hard tackle generates a louder cheer than a great pass.
We're in a relegation battle. Anyone who doesn't see it like that isn't seeing it correctly. I've known people deny these situations before.
I miss walking out of the tunnel, the 90 minutes and the adrenalin rush that I'll never, ever replace.
I have had interviews and got close to taking a managerial job. I would consider going back into football.
