1. Starting with your health, what was the result of the MRI scan?

I've a small tear in the muscle just above the bottock. I haven't been able to train this week and I'm in Montpellier with Newcastle's permission. There is an air strike and I can't get back but I think I'll be able to get back first thing tomorrow and we'll see what happens. It's not a serious injury so hopefully everything will be OK.

2. So, will you play this weekend?

I'm not sure. I had pains in my left leg at the beginning of the week but I've rested since then.

3. This weekend, Newcastle play Ipswich again, only away from home. After the draw at Charlton, the objective must be to get three points.

Yes, it'll be difficult because they aren't doing well in the Championship and they'll be out for revenge but we really have to win to keep in touch with the teams above us.

4. Shearer won't play because of his red card?

No, the red card was rescinded after the FA reviewed the video evidence and saw that he never touched the Charlton player so he'll play on Sunday.

Goodbye.

Babel Fish says: Let us take news of your health. Which is the result of your last IRM Monday?

I just have a small tear on the level of a muscle above the buttock. It is not very serious but since the match of the last weekend, I did not involve myself. Monday and Tuesday, I spent my days to the care and since Tuesday evening, I am in Montpellier with the authorization of Newcastle. In this moment, there is a strike of the planes and I cannot return to England. I would have a plane very early to tomorrow be present at the drive in the morning. I will pass a test and I hope that that will be better.

Your participation in the match this weekend is compromised. I can nothing affirm for the moment.

At the beginning of week, I had badly with my left leg but since, I rested. One will see tomorrow. This weekend, Newcastle faces Ipswich for the second time in ten days but this time, the meeting proceeds outside. After the null match the last week vis-a-vis in Charlton, one imagines that the objective is to bring back the three points. Of course. In Charlton, there was the match in hand and it has escaped us stupidly. Against Ipswich, that will be difficult because they are not very well classified with the championship. Moreover, they want their revenge. On our side, one must gain to remain in contact with the teams at some points in front of us.

Shearer will miss because of his red paperboard.

Not, I believe that it will be there. Its red paperboard was cancelled. The Federation re-examined the images and they show that it did not touch the player. Its suspension is thus cancelled and it will play Sunday. So long

'The Federation' ?! Does that make D'@rseho'le a Klingon?

Well there you go - he's suffering from a torn @rse! Wonder how he did that?
Probably the only thing Marcelino hasn't suffered from!

"Bottock"?

Is that a cross breed bottom/bollock?
