SHOWDOWN TALKS


Newcastle United boss Sir Bobby Robson has held showdown talks with striker Lomana LuaLua.

The United boss revealed yesterday: "I have had a little meeting with LuaLua and told him I am not standing for the sort of thing he put on his website.

"We have spoken face to face and I told him that was not the way to do things.

"As far as tomorrow is concerned, he got a bump on the head playing for the reserves against West Brom on Monday night but he is fine now and he is in our squad for tomorrow.

"And as far as the African Nations Cup is concerned, Mick (Wadsworth) obviously wants him to play and so too does Lua, especially as he is captain of his country."
