Chelsea strikerDiego Costasays he was wrong tothrow his bibtowards manager Jose Mourinho when he was left on the bench during the goalless Premier League draw with Spurs. 

These quotes are from Spanish radio station Onda Cero.

"The bib (incident) is in the past. I made a mistake but my relationship with Mourinho is amazing, we get on really well. 

"There are things you need to control but the bib thing was an impulse."

Is that an apology? I think so...

Meanwhile, Newcastle boss Steve McClaren has been talking to the media ahead of Sunday's trip to Tottenham.

He said: "We need to follow the Liverpool win up at White Hart Lane. We need to put in a performance if we are to get anything.

"Spurs are a good team. They have a good squad of players and they play with a very high intensity.

"If Spurs weren't in the Europa League they would be title contenders."

Southampton

And a last word from Southampton managerRonald Koeman on the sacking of manager Garry Monk from Swansea. 

"It is strange in my opinion. It isn't the right decision, looking from the outside, because Garry Monk did a fantastic job. 

"He put the club in their best ever position and now after a good start they are struggling a little bit - only a little bit. 

"I don’t understand these decisions. It will happen again but I don’t agree."

Southampton

More from Ronald Koeman on how he rates Southampton's season so far: 

"We had not a good run in our results but you now look to the table and if you win next weekend then maybe you are sixth.

"This season everybody is being close to each other. You say maybe Crystal Palace are having a better season [than Southampton] but maybe after Saturday not. 

"Our position is still to aim for the highest place in the table but first of all I would like to play football – then we know we can beat everyone."

Southampton

What are the aspirations for the rest of the season, Ronald? 

Koeman says: "We have to show more consistency. We have to finish more chances and then we can show we have a strong team."

And what about signings in the transfer window?  

"We are looking always to see what we can do to make the squad stronger but it is not about doing many changes in the team. If we need somebody it will be an offensive player and the rest I think we have really good competition." 

Will there be any outgoings? "We also know that nobody is for sale."

Southampton

First up a bit of an injury update, from Ronald. In short, there are no new problems.

Koeman says: "Fraser is back in some sessions but needs still more time to be ready and Jay is recovering from the surgery. 

"It will take more than three or four weeks for him to return to training and the rest are OK."

Birmingham City's players say they must get over a "rough patch" which coincided with speculation about the future of manager Gary Rowett.

He was linked with the posts at Fulham and QPR, prompting the Blues board to issue a statement confirming he was not leaving.

"When a manager is linked to another club, there is some difficulty," defender Jonathan Spector told BBC WM. "We're delighted he's staying and maybe we can push on now."

Sky Sports are reporting that Swansea have former Chelsea boss Avram Grant on their shortlist to fill the vacant manager's role.

The Swans sacked Garry Monk on Wednesday.
