March 12: "I'm just delighted I'm able to play here week-in, week-out and hopefully I'll be able to do it for a few years...The main thing is to make sure I leave this club and they're saying, 'Thanks very much for your service'. If there's 50,000 fans saying, 'Thanks very much' and saying it again when I come back, that's what I want."
April 28: "Negotiations [on a new contract] are at an advanced stage. Most things have been agreed and I would think I will sign next week or the week after...We need to keep important players and sign more, which is what the gaffer intends to do. I am desperate to bring success to St James' Park...We know we can bring back the good days and go one better by winning a trophy. That is my dream, for it to happen in my time."
May 22: "I don't want to stop here. I want to go on over the next three, four or five years. Being one of the players who has helped get this club back where it belongs, and hoping to take it further, really pleases me."
June 1: "To be captain of this club, it really feels a great honour. It's fantastic and I am absolutely delighted. When my daughter walks round telling everyone I am captain of Newcastle, that's when you realise it affects a lot of people. Genuinely from the bottom of my heart, I love doing the captaincy bit and I love playing for this club."
June 7: Nolan rejects the club's contract offer.
