The mood on Tyneside, after the sale of Andy Carroll to Liverpool, was not helped by Kevin Nolan’s comments on Wednesday when the Newcastle captain praised Liverpool.
Kevin Nolan: "When we first heard about the move he asked me what I thought.
"You can imagine my reaction. I was delighted for him.
"I’m gutted we’ve lost him but delighted he’s gone to a fantastic club.
"Liverpool are getting a top, top player.
"Obviously I’ve had a lot of texts and calls over the last day or so. I’m quite surprised at how pleased everyone is with it. He’s only just burst onto the scene in the last six months.
"He’s going to be a great addition to what is a new start for Liverpool.
"Believe me you have got a top, top player. He’s going to be one of the best.
"There’s no-one like him in the league. He’ll score and create goals.
"He’ll also show great desire and commitment. That’s what Liverpool fans want and deserve."
