Newcastle captain Scott Parker admits they haven't been good enough this season. "As captain, I'm not going to sit here and lie - we've not done well," the 26-year-old, who was speaking at an event promoting Kickz, an initiative that aims to enhance the development of young people, said. "This season has not been good enough by any means, but there is no hiding from the fact we've had a massive, massive injury list. (Parker表示，身為Newcastle的隊長他不能坐在那邊說謊，他必須承認，我們做的並不 好。這賽季從各種意義上，都不夠好。但是有個事實是，我們遭受了很嚴重的傷病。) "People might read this and think I'm making excuses, that I'm leaning on something to help me out of a hole, but look at Chelsea. They had one player missing - John Terry - for a couple of months and, by their standards, they struggled. At times this season we had eight players or more missing and, to be fair, any side, whether they were Chelsea or Manchester United, would struggle to cope with that. (Parker：人們也許會說我是在找藉口，但是看看切爾西，他們這賽季只是缺了JT， 缺陣了幾個月，而他們的表現以他們的標準來說──很掙扎。而我們這賽季缺了8個， 甚至更多人。公平一點說，不管是曼聯或是切爾西，遭受到這樣的傷病， 為了要去填補這些問題都會非常的掙扎。) "It hasn't been good enough this season for Newcastle and we're not trying to hide from that, but the injuries are one of the major reasons for that. All we can do is learn from this and come back stronger next year. You'd like to think this season has been a bit of a freak year with injuries, but this is Newcastle United, so you never know what's going to happen." (這個賽季不夠好，我們從來都不會去掩飾這點。但是傷病是造成這一切的一個重要原因 之一。我們能做的是，從這之中學習，並且下賽季變得更強。 這賽季非常怪異，我們遭受到太多的傷病。但這就是Newcastle United。 所以你永遠不知道未來會發生什麼事。) --
