Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew has defended his No2 John Carew after the Geordie's clash with away fans at Southampton.
Carver took issue with some fans carrying 'Pardew Out' signs last week.
"I hate the fact John got involved in that incident before the game, because he has got black and white blood. Nobody loves this club more than him," he said.
"He's had more roles at this club more than anyone else probably - academy director, youth team coach, first team coach to Bobby Robson and to me in different eras. That all hurts.
"Do you think before a game he wants to see the banners going up and negativity towards the team? Of course not. He tried to defend that and has apologised for being slightly aggressive, but that's all it was."
