Craig Bellamy today apologised for his disgraceful outburst on Sunday when the Magpies took on Charlton.

 

Everybody knows Craig has a fiery temper and his verbal abuse was a result of frustration but nevertheless and apology was needed and has been issued.

 

"I was out of order for what I did at The Valley on Sunday and I want to apologise to the manager,

 

I knew within ten seconds what I did was wrong and I have tried to say so, but really I haven't had the chance because of other things that have happened.

My outburst wasn't really aimed at the manager on Sunday but more at the situation.

Call me old-fashioned if you want, but my view when a player is substituted is that he has been ineffective and I didn't feel I was ineffective against Charlton.”

 

The Welshman also answered the medias speculation that he will be leaving Newcastle in the January transfer window for pastures new;

 

"I know there is only so much the club and the fans can take and I know I have been to blame for what has happened in the past.

But I also know that I have achieved nothing in this game.

And not only that, but I know I will never get a better club than Newcastle United.

There is no other club I want to play for and it would be a dream for me to stay here for the rest of my career.”
