We're not robots, we're not factory built. We have feelings, we have families and we go through tough times that people don't know about. Sometimes your form isn't good and there's a reason for that. Sometimes the team isn't playing well and you can't quite work out why.

When I speak to my dad and my wife, and friends, they say it's 10 years at West Ham, you're leading the team out every week, when you sit back and really think about it, it's very rare.

Mark Noble

At the end of the day, West Ham are a Premier League football club and that's all that matters.

Mark Noble

You have to take the good with the bad and if you have to play over Christmas you have to. We have a good life and playing football over Christmas is not the worst thing in the world.

Mark Noble

I've been here for 19 years, so West Ham fans are bored with seeing me. It's like my wife, who changes the wallpaper every three years because she gets tired of it.

Mark Noble

My pet hate is being beaten by a team who works harder than you do.

Mark Noble

To wear this shirt, especially with the West Ham badge on it - it takes an honest player, hard-working, a player that leaves everything on the pitch and plays for the crest on the shirt.

Mark Noble

I think playing for England is the pinnacle of every young English player's career.

Mark Noble

I've been lucky enough to experience some big tournaments at Under-21 level and would love to be part of a World Cup in England.

Mark Noble

I watch a lot of football and you hardly ever see Premier League players go down with cramp. The fitness, the intensity of Premier League football is phenomenal.

Mark Noble

You have to hit the ground running at West Ham. If you don't, suddenly from the fans it's, 'You're not good enough to play for our football club.'

Mark Noble

In football winning games is all that matters, but a team like West Ham and every team apart from Man City are going to lose games.

Mark Noble

Refs won't get everything right but those decisions really hurt teams.

Mark Noble

Obviously when you grow up in the area you love playing on the street, and to go from playing on the street with my mates to playing at Upton Park is a bit surreal, and 15 years on to still be in the heart of the West Ham midfield is quite good going!

Mark Noble

When results go against you, that's when you really test how good you are as a team.

Mark Noble

I'm English, I've always wanted to play for England but it's out of my hands.

Mark Noble

I know Billy Bonds quite well and he is a fantastic person and was a fantastic player.

Mark Noble

I always give 100% in every game I play, even if it's not enough.

Mark Noble

It's a fear of failure which drives me on.

Mark Noble

I never blame the refs as I know how tough it is, how fast the play goes, how difficult it is to keep up with the play.

Mark Noble

I love playing football. I always look at it as there's a lot worse things you can be doing than coming into a training ground in the morning and playing footy and having a laugh with the boys.
