Roeder var dritt lei alt det negative som har blitt skrevet i lokalavisene den siste uken. Noe jeg forstår jævlig godt. Snakker da blant annet om Malcolm K**k Donald i dagens Chronicle.
Glenn Roeder was delighted his Newcastle United side beat Everton without some of their big guns on Saturday.
Many felt without the likes of Alan Shearer and Michael Owen The Magpies would struggle, but Roeder told his charges to be positive.
"I told the players before the game, I've been a bit fed up with the negativity leading up to this game," said Roeder.
"Because we haven't got Alan playing, we haven't got Michael playing, we haven't got Kieron [Dyer] playing and the best we could hope for was probably a 0-0 draw.
"I said to them that was absolute rubbish - in fact, I said we wouldn't even settle for a draw before the game.
"I told them I didn't think they had been shown the respect they deserve by the suggestion this team was not good enough to beat Everton, and they went out and they were terrific."
Meanwhile, Roeder has expressed his surprise at Scott Parker's omission from the England squad to face Uruguay next Wednesday.
"I would never attempt to choose someone else's team - that would be very wrong of me," he added on Sven Goran Eriksson's selections.
"Football will always remain a game of opinion - it's one of the great things about the game, that we are all allowed to have an opinion.
"But because I have been very lucky to have worked with England squads for two and a half years, I'm confident that Scott Parker would not look out of place in an England squad."
