Not flagging
Former Magpies’ midfielder Cabaye was never likely to receive a positive reception – and certainly not once he had put in his awful tackle on Yedlin.
While Cabaye was taking corners during the second half, a section of fans in Strawberry Corner continued to chant ‘There’s only one greedy b ****** ” at him, while he was booed on occasion too, just as Andros Townsend was. THE FRENCHMAN’S temper almost boils over
Joselu received a booking for a foul on Cabaye midway through the second half and, in the aftermath, the Frenchman appeared to stick his foot out and try to catch the Spaniard with the slightest of kicks.
It was missed by most, except some in the Milburn Stand, and it again showed the needle Cabaye has in his game. SHELVEY loved United’s winner – and he enjoyed sharing his delight with Cabaye
After Mikel Merino ran to the corner to celebrate his winning header, Shelvey turned to Cabaye – who was lying on the ground after failing to defend the setpiece – and the United midfielder clenched his fists and screamed in celebration.
There is an excellent photo which captures the moment – showing the delight of a current Magpie to the misery of a former Newcastle midfielder. GAYLE shows a touch of class
Newcastle forward Dwight Gayle has had a disappointing start to the campaign and missed this game against his former side with a slight calf problem.
Yet the striker still made sure he attended the match – and even came down to pose for photos with young fans and sign autographs after the full-time whistle.
It was great to see.
