A bit of a kick-off between two factions watching the Manchester derby – the upshot being that as Derby 0 Newcastle 2 kicked off, many of them were enjoying tea and crumpets in the company of the Spanish police!
Yoan Gouffran sums up the team/squad spirit at Newcastle “It’s hard to be a sub but you enjoy the game like a fan. Maybe not the best goal I have scored but a nice one…”
Rafa Benitez welcomes the players back into training on Sunday only hours after the win at Derby County: “We can improve in defence, the middle, in attack…but I am really pleased!”
Nigel Pearson thought Derby County were hard done by…”We had looked the team most likely to go in front…for the whole of the first half we had some positive moments.”
