HOWAY THE LADS!!!!

This is a good thing. I think the longer we can keep them from scoring, the more frustrated they'll get. meaning we can nick a point or three. We just have to CONCENTRATE!!

Sounds like a great atmosphere.

Sir Bobby Robson on BBC 5-Live (as fast as I could type):

"To come back from behind 3 games in a row, espec against Arsenal and Leeds. Working hard on training pitch, getting to know each other..we have great motiviation..great work ethic..we have quality, though did fall asleep this afternoon having gone ahead. We recovered well, Robert on left, Solano right, Bellamy's pace, Shearer's leadership, we can always score goals, we've scored 9 this week. Shearer gives us that leadership, a Geordie, important for us, we've also got Lee of course. Dabizas broke his nose against Mark Viduka and then picked up a nasty injurty in another violent challenge we'll probably miss him for the next game.

No one wins anything in December, got difficult games, the message is keep your trap shut, work hard keep your feet on the ground."
