Danny Simpson blasts Newcastle United rivals

Previous 1 2

Simpson has also hinted he would like to make his move to Tyneside permanent and says Geordie fans are LOUDER than those at his native Old Trafford. He added: “It is right up there. I have played at Old Trafford, but I think it was louder here. “The fans are incredible here. Even though it was only 43,000, it felt like it was full. “I enjoyed it, and it was a nice feeling when the whistle went and we had won.” Now, with 3,400 loyal Toon fans set to make the long journey to Croydon, Simpson cannot wait for the encounter with the Eagles. He said: “Palace is a chance to win. We are travelling down there after back-to-back wins and looking to make it three. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT “We want to keep the run going. “They went to Ipswich and won. They will now be hoping to get something out of us. But we are buzzing and we will not let that happen. “I have been around the lads and trained and it is like being at any other club. The lads have put it to one side, and I think it shows by the way we are playing.” With United tipped to be taken off the market this weekend by sources in the city, Simpson says United players will continue to get on with their jobs. He said: “We want to do it for ourselves. We cannot affect what happens upstairs. “The lads are buzzing and we want to get out of this league. “If I do well you never know what could happen in January.”
