From Mikel’s press conference:
Do you have any regrets on your actions at Newcastle last year? M: That’s part of the past and part of the situation that happened. You learn from it and you take a lot of positives as well. We moved on. Do you think your comments worked? M: My intention is not that the comments worked. I had to say what I felt on the day. Have the standards of refereeing improved? M: They are certainly trying their best.I’m fully prepared to get fucked back to back.
