What they're saying

"
I’m embarrassed to be a Newcastle United fan, not because of the supporters who rightly booed the first half against Aston Villa, but because we are becoming the worst team in the league. There are players in this Newcastle United team who we have bought for good money, exciting players, but they are starting to look very very average.
