best neither nor squad stretch
Neither Stuart Pearce nor I will have any preparation for the tie. All we can do is to stretch our squad to the best of our ability.
best chances flattered game goal good second side
Chances have to go in. Marlon Harewood did not have his best game for us. I thought the second goal flattered them, but they are a good side and had a lot of possession.
best front pack players whom
Unfortunately for Nigel he has a pack of players in front of him, some of whom are the best in the world,
best credit great picking player thinking
He's been player of the month, so it's not easy. I'm not thinking about it too much. I'm just picking my best two and unfortunately they have to be professional which they have been which is great credit to them.
best harsh though
I don't want to be too harsh on our strikers today, even though Marlon did not have his best game,

It was one of the more unusual injuries, ... but it's one of those things and a bit typical of the run Roy has been having recently.
We all say things like that. When things are not going great, we get down.
amount build cushion europe golden nice paul stage talking
We've not been talking about Europe here. Paul Jewell has a really nice cushion and we have a nice amount of points, 26, to build on. That's golden at this stage in this division.
feels game thousand
This was my 100th game and it has been a long road. It feels like a thousand to be honest,
believe fans newcastle
Even the Newcastle fans were having a chuckle, they couldn't believe it was a sending-off.
