I don't know why he's given off-side, it's not even close. |
I don't like to show my emotions too much but I could not help it. |
I don't think he needs to prove anything to anybody. Anyone who has a modicum of common sense, or a modicum of football knowledge knows that. They're still third in the table, yet they are supposed to be in a crisis - a bit like ourselves, despite the fact we're seventh with 25 points. |
I don't think Scott and Michael have lost too much sleep over it, |
I hate losing, but we gave everything we had. They were just too good for us. No complaints from me. The better side won. |
I said to the lads before the game that people are saying nice things about us. We are not used to that so we have got to make sure we don't believe them. But we don't have to prove anyone wrong. |
I spoke to my chairman two days ago, and he is in Barbados, but he never mentioned playing golf with anyone from Newcastle. |
I think everyone is fit, Pollitt felt some pain in his achilles yesterday but I think he will be OK, so it looks like we've got a full complement. |
I thought it was a bit unsporting by Chelsea and my lads tell me it was their manager who told them to do that. |
I thought we did all right but we've been done by a set-piece. We looked solid and they had to change their shape at halftime. |
I told Arsene he should look after his own team and I will concentrate on mine. |
I told Henri I wasn't happy that he didn't make it back for match but I want him fully focused and committed for the massive games we have coming up. |
I was a bit fed up because they wouldn't move the game. In a perverse sort of way that might have been what gave us impetus. I said to the players that nobody gives us anything, and we had to go out and prove ourselves. It gave us a siege mentality. |
I'm frustrated and angry. We deserved to win tonight. The referee cost us the game. |
I'm pleased we are playing a team that's fighting for their lives because that should be a lift enough for my players. |
