Recommended Posts

Has anyone seen or heard any quotes from the players regarding the game? Seen Pardew's sorry interviews but haven't heard anything from the players point of view?

 

 

Elliot apologises to Newcastle fans

April 15, 2013

 

 

Newcastle goalkeeper Rob Elliot has made an apology to the club's stunned supporters after Sunday's crushing 3-0 defeat at the hands of local rivals Sunderland.

 

Elliot saw two Sunderland goals fly past him after he replaced the injured Tim Krul in the second half at St James' Park and he admitted the mood in his side's dressing room after the game was as low as he can remember.

 

"We have got to hold our hands up, we didn't do what we needed to do and we let ourselves and everyone else down," Elliot told Newcastle's official website. "Everyone is gutted, hugely disappointed, devastated - forgetting the three points, about what it means to everyone.

 

"This is the lowest point. You dream of playing in one of these derbies and I am so proud to play for Newcastle United, but then that happens, and it cannot happen again. We have to look at ourselves and ask work out why we played like that after some good performances.

 

"It wasn't good enough, there are no excuses, and we have to make sure that this hurt drives us on now over the final five games. It feels awful and I never want to feel like this again.

 

"It shouldn't have happened in the first place and we have to make sure that we finish our last five games strong. We have to carry this defeat forward and turn it into some sort of positive."

 

Elliot may be in line to enjoy a run in the Newcastle side in their final five Premier League games, after it was confirmed that a dislocated shoulder suffered by first choice keeper Krul will keep him out of action for the rest of this season.

 

"Tim isn't good and I'm gutted for him," added Elliot. "I'm not one of those people that would ever wish an injury on somebody to get my chance.

 

"He's a brave lad so if he had to go to hospital then that tells you it isn't good. It was a bad day anyway but losing someone like Tim has made it even worse."

I really like Elliot. He had no chance at either goals, so he's got nowt to be embarrassed about personally. Seems like a top bloke, who realises how lucky he is to be at a club like ours and feels proud every time he gets the chance to play for us.

People need to stop having a go at eachother man, we're all on the same side ffs.

That's just it - we aren't...

 

Some want to defend Pardew under any circumstances(justifiable if he had any sort of long-term track record of success as a manager, which he hasn't) and the majority want him gone like yesterday.

 

How can such divided opinions be on the same side when each thinks that their opinion is best for NUFC ??

If you believe strongly enough in the same entity achieving the same goals, the means of accomplishment will never be strong enough to cause division.

 

There's about 2 people on the forum who don't think Pardew should be gone in the summer, so that issue obviously shouldn't be causing too much hostility.

merlin, you've missed my point then, so let me be clear with what I mean't earlier then - theres some really poor personal slagging being thrown about by people on here since the defeat.  This is all to others who's opinions differ from their own. I have no problem with debate, its the point of a football forum - but when people start taking jabs beyond football and at people themselves, they've taken it one step too far.

 

We're all supporters of this club - despite which manager we want in charge, what tactics to employ, favorite or most hated players. We all want to  see this club succeed and do us proud. So yes, we're all on the same side, in my opinion.

Well said. It's been beyond ridiculous some stuff.

Did Di Canio do the same to them? On TV it looked like he only celebrated towards the players and their fans, was he as confrontational with Pardew when they scored? Would explain that picutre, because out of context it looks quite embarrassing in my opinion.
