Jonas Gutierrez: "It did not take long to know that this would be a good season.
"I remember thinking after the first couple of games that the style of football we were playing was really good.
"It felt different to what had gone before.
"I like to play good football, and at the start of this season, it was the first real time since I have been here that I thought the football we would be playing would be exactly like the football that I like to play.
"I love the style of football that we have played.
"You can always still lose the game, but here at Newcastle now we always try to play good football. In every game during the season, we have tried to do that.
"Maybe last year, we got good results as well, but we played with a different style.
"That was okay. There were different players in the team then, so the style was always going to be different.
"We changed the players and that allowed us to change the style. I think the fans enjoy this style more. They like to see good football.
"You don't say that the other way was wrong - it wasn't like that. It was just that that was the way it was then, and this is the way it is now.
"Whatever happens, we are talking about a great season for Newcastle.
"The way the season has been for us, it would be fitting to go out on a high.
"But whatever happens in the last game, the fact it has been a great season is not going to change.
"Even if we lose at Everton, we can still be proud of what we have done.
"In some ways, we don't care about what the result might mean. Getting into the Champions League would be great, but we have the Europa League and that is something fantastic.
"We are fifth at the moment, and we are ahead of some teams that have spent a lot of money to try to get up the table. We have a great opportunity to finish well, and we can do it if we play like we did against Manchester City."
