He's been trying his best to worm out of slagging Newcastle off.
He's trying to twist what he said around but stuttering his way through it.

When asked why he hated it at Newcastle, he said he didn't just hate it at Newcastle, he hated it at Stoke....and then with a pause and a bit of a stutter, he said " and Man Utd"...

You made your bed Michael and now you have to lie in it.
He's one hell of a smug git.
Making out going to Newcastle as being some kind of massive step down and believing he's better than that but realising Liverpool didn't adore him as much as he thought, so basically took the massive wage.
