Danny Simpson blasts Newcastle United rivals

Aug 21 2009

by Lee Ryder, Evening Chronicle

NEWCASTLE new boy Danny Simpson has refused to let boardroom unrest stand in his way of pulling on a black-and-white shirt. Simpson has also revealed how he cannot wait to take on Crystal Palace tomorrow at Selhurst Park – and continue United’s impressive run in the Championship. In an explosive. no-holds-barred interview, the classy Mancunian full-back claims the Magpies will always be bigger than Tyne-Wear rivals Sunderland – regardless of which division the two clubs are in. Simpson, who was on loan at Sunderland in 2007, told the Chronicle: “I prefer to be in black and white than red and white. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT “On the way up here a lot of people warned me about what was going on behind the scenes, but I have not noticed it. “Someone mentioned Sunderland had 41,000 against Chelsea – and we got 43,000 against Sheffield Wednesday. “That just shows the passion the fans have for the club – it speaks volumes. “We have more fans than them coming to Championship games. “I am just glad to be here. Sunderland is behind me now – that was years ago. “I am just looking forward to doing the same at Newcastle and getting into the Premier League.”
