I intended to write a brief piece about that Newcastle United supporter.
The one who made headlines after Bournemouth’s final whistle.
We don’t want a team that wins, we want a club that tries, as that famous banner once said…
Ten reasons why that Newcastle United supporter was out of order
The players approached the fans and thanked them for their support. Mr Angry threw it back at them.
Trippier has been and continues to be an outstanding leader both on and off the field.
When a player has a bad game despite giving his all, he deserves flowers, not brickbats.
The entire team was running on fumes from the start but kept going until the end.
The team is still performing better than almost everyone expected when Eddie arrived two years ago.
This was our first defeat in the Premier League in ten weeks.
Publicly vilifying the players is a poor way to represent our club and its supporters.
Will the players want to thank the fans in the future if this is the reaction?
Such incidents can quickly go viral thanks to mobile phone footage.
The available players ran themselves into the ground. They displayed tremendous personal and professional pride. The last thing they deserved was unwarranted criticism.
