Newcastle United boss Sir Bobby Robson is insisting that nobody is panicking at St James' Park, despite the club's poor start to the Premiership season. The Magpies' are yet to win a league game, but did beat NAC Breda 5-0 in the UEFA Cup. Robson said: "We are near the bottom of the table and we are concerned by the start we have made as we have not won a game in the Premiership and we need to get some points under our belts.

"But I've said it before and I'll say it again - there is no need to panic and on the form we showed at Arsenal we will crawl up the league table and we will get respectability.

"With a team like ours we should not be in any trouble.

"We now have a week to prepare for our game with Southampton at St James' Park on Saturday.

"There were plenty of positives to take from the game with Arsenal and we are looking forward to Southampton."
