Craig Bellamy and Tim Sherwood reckon that Newcastle United fans only sing when they’re winning.

The pair’s outburst on Bein Sports will shock Newcastle supporters around the world just days after promotion back to the Premier League was assured.

Here is the full transcript of the pair’s conversation from Bein Sports’ Soccer Special programme.

Tim Sherwood: “We haven’t seen an ‘Ashley out” banner all season.

“They are winning football matches - that’s how fickle football fans can be. It’s the same owner.

“He’s behaving in the same manner but they are winning football matches so they’re all happy. They need to look at themselves.

“It’s the same owner they wanted out and they were protesting to get out of their football club because the team was getting beaten.

“Sometimes they have to look a bit deeper than that.”

Craig Bellamy (in response): “It’s always the same there. It always will be the same there.

“I remember Sir Bobby Robson, he did a great job up there. They were shouting from the roof tops to get him out.

“They were calling for his head for a long, long time. I remember all the interviews and the papers. I was up there.

“When he goes, suddenly it’s everybody’s else’s fault. But they were the ones booing him.

“They were the ones booing Alan Pardew. Sometimes they need to take a step back.

“It’s difficult for fans. They say they pay the players’ wages, which they don’t.

“Television rights and owners do all of that. They need to get realistic.

“Stay in the league for a good few years now.

“For them to get relegated for the second time in a number of years shouldn’t happen at a club like that.”
