Happened at Swansea.
The 34-year-old has participated in 260 games with The Swans since joining Newcastle in 2011.
"I'm going to my ninth season with Swansea City." I just say that I put a big smile on my face.
"You had a few clubs earlier in my career but I found Swansea City and I found Swansea City, I like to play for the club and I love to be here." Was not there anything else?
"But now I can look forward to preparing for the next season."

India Elections 2019: Narendra Modi thanks voters for their historic mandate
Prime Minister Narendra Moody thanked the people of India for granting him a "historic mandate" for another five years in office, after an overwhelming victory in the general election.
"We all want new India," he said in a victory speech to the supporters of the Bharatiya Janata Party, "I want to turn my head and say thank you."
BJP is expected to get about 300 of the 543 seats in parliament.
Is likely to get a larger share of the vote than the 2014 election.
The main opposition alliance, led by the Congress Party, Rahul Gandhi, admitted defeat.
The general election was widely seen as a referendum on the Hindu nationalist politics of the prime minister, and victory was achieved despite rising unemployment, fears of recession and falling industrial production.
What are the results so far?
The partial and announced results show that Mr Moody BJP is expected to win 300 seats on his own, bringing together about 350 seats with party allies.
In 2014, BJP won 282 seats - the largest victory by any party in 30 years - and its allies secured 336 seats in that parliament.
Congress, which won only 44 seats, suffered its worst defeat in 2014 and has only 60 seats in the House of Representatives.
More than 600 million people voted in a six-week marathon, which included seven rounds of voting.
What did Moody say?
The 68-year-old prime minister was full of rose petals by thousands of supporters when he arrived at Bharatiya Janata Party headquarters Thursday night.
"These elections were not fought by politicians but by the people of this country - but it was the people of this country who won," Moody told his supporters in Delhi.
The main opposition Congress party is expected to win by less than 60.
The party or coalition needs at least 272 seats to secure a majority in the 543-member parliament, or Lok Sabha.
Narendra Modi made this election all about himself.
He had to face some hostile feelings. The unemployment rate has risen to a record level, farm incomes have fallen and industrial production has fallen.
Many Indians were strongly influenced by the currency ban (also known as demonization), which was designed to eliminate undeclared wealth, and there were complaints about what critics said was a poorly designed and complex uniform sales tax.
The results prove that people do not blame Mr. Moody for that.
A combination of nationalistic rhetoric, hidden religious polarization and a large number of social welfare programs helped Mr Moody win a second successive win. National security has also been extracted as a vote-holder in an unprecedented manner in the general elections of modern history.
"Everything is okay if there is little development, but Moody keeps the nation safe and keeps India's head high," a voter in the eastern city of Kolkata told me.
Mr. Moody is a strong man, and people may love him for that.
Moody recreates Indian politics
What reaction was there?
At a news conference held in Delhi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi acknowledged the general election as well as his seat in Amethi in Uttar Pradesh, which he held since 2004 and held his family for decades.
But he will remain in parliament as he competes and wins another seat - and Yanad in Kerala.

Emma Hayes to replace Mauricio Sari in Chelsea? Discussion Sunday Discussion Annex ...
Rob Dreber of The Mail on Sunday and James Ducker of The Daily Telegraph discuss whether Hayes will be considered the best candidate for the job with Chelsea's Sarri future.
The Sunday Sunday committee will determine whether Emma Hayes, Chelsea's women's coach, has credentials to take charge of the men's team if Maurizio Sari leaves.
Sari won Chelsea in third place in the Premier League and a place in the final of the Europa League.
But after drawing 1-1 with Lester on the final day of the Premier League campaign, the Italian admitted that he was not sure he would remain Chelsea coach next season.
Hayes led Chelsea to the women's Premier League title for the third time and to the semi-finals of the women's Champions League this season.
The Sunday Extension panel discussed whether to take part in the men's team.
Draper: She will interview her
I will be surprised if you get it this time but you will get a job.
"I am surprised, not because they did not have the qualifications to do the job, but I was surprised that it would take a little longer for someone to make the jump." Maria Granovskaya, the main president of the appointment, will be one of a few female directors at the board level.
"I think Chelsea are looking at other people, but at some point there will be a woman who is responsible for a professional club for men and eventually a club in the Premier League," he said.
"There may be many women who are good at it and there are men.
"I'd be surprised if she got it this summer, but maybe in two or three years, in the interviews you're hoping for, she's hoping for a fair chance and if she's the best person in her job."
Duck: Evidence of the necessary integration
"If the clubs deal with this as a serious option to move forward, integration might be the way they are going." Are there outstanding women involved in senior management positions in professional clubs?
"We are talking about the possibility of appointing a manager in charge of the Premier League or the football club. If there is not actually a trained brother for men, it seems like a huge leap to take.
"There may be changes on that front, but it would be very interesting to decide to isolate Maurizio Sari and interview her.
"I only hope that if you get an interview, you will not be symbolic and they will do so on the basis that after seven years of responsibility the women's team, there is a merit they deserve, will add value and be worthy candidate."

Tip Kylian Mbappe to exit Paris Saint-Germain after the League 1 awards
PSP striker Mbappe: "I have reached a turning point in my career."
Kylian Mbappe suggested that he study his future in Paris Saint-Germain and admit to being open to a "new project".
The 20-year-old World Cup winner was named French Footballer of the Year on Sunday, winning the Player of the Year award and the Young Player of the Year awards.
But after receiving his award from Didier Drogba, the striker said: "It is a very important moment for me. I have reached a turning point in my career.
"I've discovered a lot here, and I feel it may be a good time to shoulder more responsibility.
"I hope it's in Paris Saint-Germain, it would be great fun, or maybe somewhere else in a new project."
Mbappe scored 32 goals while PSG retained the league title, but the club failed once again to achieve the Champions League's ambitions for the billionaire owner of Qatar.
Paris Saint-Germain allowed two goals in the first leg to shine against Manchester United and were eliminated in the last 16.
Mbabi stood next to his comments after the celebration, adding: "I said what I have to say.
"When in such an occasion you can send messages, I think I have sent to me.
"If I talk more, it will be too much and this is not the message I want to send."
Earlier this year, the president of Real Madrid suggested that Zinedine Zidane use his French relationship to attract Mbappe to the club this summer.
"Zidane is French, so with Mabab he can do something," said Florentino Perez.
Pep Guardiola rejected reports that Manchester City could sign Mbab in October last year.
"Manchester City does not have and will not spend the money that Mpab deserves or deserves from Paris Saint-Germain," he said.

Schwarzenegger "will not be charged" about the South African attack
Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger says he will not be charged after being attacked in an event in South Africa.
The 71-year-old was talking to fans at Arnold Classic Africa on Saturday when a man kicked him out of the back.
The attacker was caught after the accident in Johannesburg.
But on Sunday, Schwarzenegger said he would not take the case any more, adding: "I'm getting ahead."
Video footage, widely published on social media, showed Schwarzenegger as he advanced to take pictures and shoot at the event when the man attacked him with an air strike.
The Terminator star stumbles forward after the kick, while the attacker falls to the ground, where he is immediately caught by a security guard.
Officials said the unidentified man was handed over to police officers.
"I thought the crowd was just a fight for me, and that happens a lot, I just realized I was kicked when I saw the video just like you all," Schwarzenegger told Twitter.
In response to fans' comments, he said on Sunday he would not charge the attacker.

Ryan Tieder criticizes "ridiculous" copyright issues
Ryan Tedder has written some of pop's biggest hits, including Beyonce's Halo, Ed Sheeran's Happier and, for his own band OneRepublic, Counting Stars.
But he says pop is in danger of being stifled by the rise in copyright cases.
"It's a conversation in every writing session," he tells the BBC.
"The odds of getting sued in this day and age are so high, we're going to get to a point where nobody can write anything - because everything will be derivative of something else.
"It's just ludicrous."
There's been a surge in copyright claims ever since Marvin Gaye's family sued Robin Thicke over the single Blurred Lines in 2015.
They successfully claimed Thicke and Pharrell Williams copied Gaye's 1977 hit Got to Give It Up - winning $ 4.98m (£ 3.9m) in damages and a 50% share of future royalties.
Since then, artists including Bruno Mars, Mark Ronson, Madonna and Miley Cyrus have all been tied up in costly legal proceedings.
Others have bought to pre-empt potential claims by credit people whose work influenced their songs.
Ed Sheeran shared the royalties of Shape Of You with the writers behind TLC's No Scrubs, while Taylor Swift wave Right Said Fred a credit on Look What You Made Me Do not notice a similarity to their 1991 single I'm Too Sexy.
Tedder says the plagiarism is usually not deliberate.
"I just did a record with Sam Smith and I brought up the Stay With Me Thing with Tom Petty," he says [Smith cave the late rock star a co-writing credit on Stay with Me, over its resemblance to Petty's 1989 single I Will not Back Down].
"And he said, 'Ryan, with God as my witness, had I ever heard that song before? Probably. But do you know how young I am? I'm 25. I did not grow up listening to Tom Petty!' "
'Not pretty'
While Tedder has "never had a lawsuit, knock on wood," he narrowly avoided one over his contribution to the Jonas Brothers' new single, Sucker - which many people compared to Portugal The Man's Feel It Still.
Portugal The Man were unconcerned, even acknowledging their own debt to The Marvellettes' Please Mister Postman, but the incident still raised problems.
"We had to spend thousands of dollars on musicians just to verify the fact that we did not reference the song at all," says Tedder.
"I know John [Gourley] from Portugal The Man, and he never thought it up - which tells me it's probably the publisher trying to make a landgrab," the singer adds.
"But now we're $ 5,000 poorer because we had to hire all these people to prove there was no case.
"So even if you do not copy, sometimes it can still cost you."

Brooks Koepka celebrates the Biggest Victory of the PGA
Brookes Kubka described his fourth win in less than two years as "the most satisfying" after stumbling in the PGA Championship.
Koepka looked at the risk of throwing seven shots on the last day when he was taking four consecutive turns after a dramatic Sunday turn in Bethpage Black, with his close friend Dustin Johnson closing in one with three to play.
But Johnson continued his plane in 15 with a successive ghost in 16 and 17 which gave Koepka some much needed breathing room, and another shot in the 17th by the defending champion did not matter little in the end.
One of the successive players struggled with a surprising lead. He closed 74 and won two shots, making him the first player to successfully defend the Wanamaker Cup since Tiger Woods, and acknowledged that his stress levels were alarmingly high.
Koepka is presented with the Wanamaker Cup for the second consecutive year after a dramatic win at Bethpage Black
"To stand here today with four major companies is surprising," he said. "But this certainly is the most satisfying of them all for how much pressure that tour has and how to make it a stressful DJ.I know for a fact, that this was the most enthusiastic people in my life at all in 18.
"You just have to cling hard, it was very fun, it was great to finish at the age of 18, and I'm glad we did not play any more holes, that's for sure."
His partner in play, Harold Verner III, had earlier expressed concern about some public behavior in Bethpidge and claimed that many in the galleries were "asking Brooks to suffocate."
But Koepka insisted that the noisy fans had already stimulated him, adding: "The hour or so from 11 to 14. When they started shouting" DJ, DJ "in 14, it was actually a kind of help, to be honest with you.
