Clarke: We can get better

Steve Clarke attended the pre-match Carling Cup semi-final 1st leg press conference with a warning to the rest of the Premiership and Europe.

Speaking ahead of tonight's clash against the Red Devils of Manchester United, Scotsman Clarke was in bullish mood.

The normally reserved, former full-back said: "We are on top of the Premier League, in the semi-final of the Carling Cup, the last 16 of the Champions League and in the fourth round of the FA Cup, but I think there is more to come from the team," he said.

"We are a relatively new side, so we can only improve with playing together. It might be a worry for others but we think we can improve. It will be very difficult to win four trophies but the only way forward is to take every game as it comes. But we have said right from the start that the Premiership is the most important."

You tell 'em Steve.
