ROBSON'S PLEA

"There's a lot of negativity about but that's just the way it is at the minute," he told the Sunday Sun.

"It's sometimes hard to take, but that is the way it goes. Everybody is under pressure to win.

"But there is only one team who can win the Premiership, one who can win the FA Cup and one who can win the Carling Cup.

"There are only three prizes for 20 clubs so at least 17 will, in a sense, fail. But are we really failing?

"I want to remind people that we are fourth in the table. A lot of people have forgotten that.

"We have big games to come, with Arsenal and Chelsea both to visit us. There are 11 big games left and we are all in the soup; we are all in the ding-dong."
