Newcastle United boss Sir Bobby Robson will be holding showdown talks with Laurent Robert this week, after he was sent-off against Everton on Saturday. He also made Robson furious with comments posted on his website.

"Laurent's fighting for his place," said Robson. "The problem I had with him last week, I will deal with internally.

"But when you say he should do his talking on the pitch, you are right."
