Bizarre Quote From Toon Keeger!

11 October 2011 11:52
New boy Rob Elliot has a strange slant on Newcastle's success this season: "The reason we've done so well this year is because we haven't gone into any game expecting to win."

WE HAVEN'T GONE INTO ANY GAME EXPECTING TO WIN?

What a load of bollox! Alan Pardew said the opposite after the great result at Wolves: "We believe we can win every game, no matter who we play."

The goalkeeper’s only appearance for the Magpies came in the Carling Cup when he made his debut at Nottingham Forest.

Elliot, signed from Charlton Athletic in August, would love another opportunity between the posts when Newcastle take on Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on October 26 in the fourth round of the competition.

Rob Elliot: “Any opportunity I get to play is great.

“I’ll never be disheartened if I don’t play, as I’ve come from League One to a top-four Premier League club at the moment.

"I just want the chance to learn and do well.

“It’s a winnable game, but we can’t take it for granted.

"The reason we’ve done so well this year is because we haven’t gone into any game expecting to win.

“We’ve got to keep that attitude in the cup, and hopefully it’ll get us somewhere.”
