Pav sorry for storming off

Mon 18 May, 05:38 PM


Tottenham striker Roman Pavlyuchenko has apologised for his angry reaction to being substituted at the weekend.

The Russia international stormed straight down the tunnel against Manchester City and was sarcastically applauded by manager Harry Redknapp.

"During the game I had a couple of chances to score but I didn't take those chances so I was angry at myself when I came off the pitch, not at the decision to replace me," Pavlyuchenko said.

He added: "I know it was not my best performance but I blame myself for that and nobody else.

"I did not mean to cause offence with my actions and I apologise to my team-mates, the coaching staff and the supporters, who have treated me so well since I arrived.

"To get the opportunity to show my appreciation to the fans during the walk round with my team-mates at the end of the game was a special moment. They have been so welcoming and supportive towards me.

"It is now up to me to go away and work on sharpening up in front of goal."

Meanwhile, midfielder Tom Huddlestone has had surgery on his left knee and faces an anxious wait to see if he will be fit for England's European Under-21 Championship campaign this summer.

The 22-year-old was understood to be carrying the slight problem through the last few months and he will now go under the knife and miss the last part of Spurs' Barclays Premier League season.

"The operation will rule the midfielder out of our final fixture of the season at Liverpool on Sunday," read a statement from Spurs.

  5. I have been a Spurs supporter since I first went to­ White Hart Lane in 1943. In the days when the teams­ used to play with a real Football and wore proper­ boots!It would be interesting to see some of these so­ called stars playing with a lace up leather ball and­ see if they have the same control as they do with their­ Beach ball.Living as I now do, in the Lake District, I­ only see the Spurs when they play on Tele but still­ enjoy watching them. My Wife, bless her, supports Man­ U...but then no one is perfect!

  8. He shows great character to appologise for storming off­ to the fans, and team-mates. I admire anyone who can­ admit to making a mistake. I also think he did storm­ off because he was disapointed with himself rather than­ being replaced. Keep going and next year will be­ succesful for you i'm sure. COYS

    @#$% he didn't storm off because he was­ disappointed with himself, he was trying to make a­ point to Harry, who is far to wise to buy his lies.­

    Get shot of him, can't score into an empty net

  10. Cheers Pav, your apology was accepted by me before you­ even said it :) Harry better keep you in bcz i know­ from watching you in Spartak that you can score. Dovai­ Romka, pakaji anglechanem shto ti mojish egrat! COYS!

  11. apologies accepted Pav - we like it that you want to­ play football. :) Have a good rest in summer &­ let's try to get a good start next season. COYS

  12. I like pav, i think he's a good player and got good­ character and i hope he stays next season. i think­ having gotten used to the premier league now he will be­ a top scorer next season for us. COYS

  13. I think the difference between players like Torres and­ the rest is mostly concentration, he is always so alive­ to a chance then you see players like Kuyt, Pav and­ Robbie K who just don't react as fast when half­ chances come there way.
