Newcastle Have No Youngster Problems

Craig Bellamy and Olivier Bernard have both been involved in off the pitch incidents this year, and have both been investigated by the Police. Rumours were that Newcastle could not handle these players, but Robson has today angrily dismissed those talks.

Robson insists: "We address the problem of discipline here every day.

"The behaviour of Newcastle players has always been important to us and I have stressed that time and time again.

"I am aware there might be a catalogue of incidents but we have a code of ethics at this club and a code of conduct.

"I have repeated to my players over the last five weeks that as the season was coming to an end they had to ensure this club plays Champions League football next season.

"I have asked them what are they going to do? Are they going to get the rest and the relaxation and are they going to be professional and give this club everything it deserves?

"So it's always in the hands of the players."
