Sol Campbell has hit back at some Newcastle supporters about concerns over his weight, branding them 'pathetic'.

 

The 35-year-old joined the Magpies last week after leaving Arsenal, but was labelled 'fat belly' on fans' message boards after the publication of a photograph of him appearing overweight in training.

 

The former England international accepted that he had work to do over the coming weeks before the start of the season, however he felt the reaction was too extreme.

 

"It's pathetic," he told Soccernet of the abuse.

 

"I had been training for three days - just three days. I am three weeks behind everyone else in pre-season. Don't they know I have just got married and been on honeymoon?

 

"I accept that the picture wasn't flattering, and I do need to catch up on my level of fitness, but the training kit was not very flattering and showed up all sorts of things.

 

"The truth is that I am now in better shape than when I started off back at Arsenal after a long lay-off. I got myself back into shape at Arsenal, and I think I had a reasonably good end half of the season."

 

Campbell returned to the Premier League last season for the Gunners in January after walking out on League Two club Notts County in September, making 11 appearances in the second half of the campaign.

 

"I am a naturally big guy, but I cannot rush my conditioning, otherwise trying too much too quickly could result in injuries," added the former Tottenham and Portsmouth defender.

 

"Of course I can understand the manager wants me to be in the side, but the season starts in just two weeks and I really need three to four weeks to get back to peak fitness.

 

"I've seen it all before, done it all before, heard it all before, but that means I also know exactly what to do. It's a long season and I cannot listen to idiots. I know these things cannot be rushed.

 

"What I do know is that I will achieve peak fitness given the time I need to do it. It might be that I will need to play and then put in extra training in between games.

 

"My message is simple to all the knockers: I am knuckling down and want to play my football with a great club and a great manager. Then you can judge me."

Surely that's more in reference to the ridiculous articles from the Mail. They were the ones repeatedly publishing the photo.

 

But in case you're reading Sol, hiya. I like you.

Really wish instead of interviewing fanzine writers etc, places would interview leading posters from here.

Why?
