Sean Longstaff was not involved from the start at Norwich. However, he came back into the starting eleven against Tottenham and played very well. His impact on the team cannot be understated. Even against Norwich, when he was brought on late in the game, you saw the difference he made.
After the great victory against Tottenham, Sean spoke a little bit about the tough week at Newcastle after the Norwich defeat. He also mentioned the traveling fans and how important they are to the team.
“It is massive. At Newcastle, everything gets blown out of proportion. There has been a lot of criticism thrown our way, but that shows how good a team we are.
“It is a tough time and it shows.
“The away end is always packed, they always back us. The trains are off, and they are here cheering us. The fans are a massive part of this club. When everyone is together we can come and get results like this.”
Sean was not happy with being left out at Norwich, but he handled it exactly how you would have hoped. He responded with maturity and got back to work.
The Chronicle have published some of Sean’s comments this morning about how he has responded after the disappointment of last week.
“You want to play as many games as you can. Arsenal was my first proper game in five months. You can play all the pre-season games you want, but there’s nothing quite like playing in the Premier League,”
“I’m a professional. You get your head down, work hard and do as much as you can to get back in the team. You cheer on the lads when you’re on the sideline and this week I got my chance again.
“There are probably little bits of quality I need to touch up on, but I think that’ll only come with playing games. I’m playing better week on week.
“Like the manager said, it’s probably going to take a bit of time. The type of person I am, I want to be back at that level straight away.
“There are enough good people around me to not let me get too angry at myself. That can happen when there are certain things you’re used to doing naturally and you have to try to do them a little bit more or think about them a bit more, which can be frustrating.
Sean is well on his way back to where he was prior to his injury. His performance against Tottenham was a clear indication the best is still to come for the youngster.
We think that Sean will most likely not start the Leicester City game tomorrow. Though he may play a part from then bench. It would be just great if both Sean and his brother Matty could get on the pitch tomorrow at some point.

Comment #41I first met Viv when he came back from a training stint in U.S and fought Dave Ferguson from boxing club I used to go to , was nice lad then albeit always looking for a fight , I stopped hanging out with him, Fergy and Manny Burgo a long time before he became a gangster — memories indeed

It’s hilarious to watch Jib/Jane/Jeff pull a Putin on here. Oh I don’t understand how to get a gravatar. I’m not Jane/Jeff because they have gravatars. It’s lying to continue to mislead
I know it’s difficult for you not to be a bitch
I did offer to let the admin put the avatar of their choice on my user

Comment #55Anglo, can’t remember the name but it was the bouncer if I remember , basically told Vivs lacky they weren’t gonna pay out – Viv turned up and pasted him all over the club on CCTV too , he wasn’t someone you wanted to cross – was always going to end one way, made a lot of enemies

Comment #57Mindshaft remember chatting with Billy Robbo who was a hard man he said he would struggle with Viv took him into his stable some hard nuts drinking with them was great fun no hassle with them but the old hard men were always trouble trying to show they still had it in them which they didn’t.

Comment #63I was on leave drinking in the pub next door in Wallsend when he was shot.
He was shot in the doorway of the corner shop after buying cat food, not the pub like people believe.
Whoever short him had tried to kneecap him but the bullet got his femoral artery and he bled out.
Maybe the shooter panicked or viv fought back.
Within 1 hour of the shooting someone had sprayed on the wall “2 shots for a pound, one night only”
Fate would have it, I was in the pig n whistle when the lad who supposedly shot viv got shot himself across the road.

Comment #68OP/Anglo : aye sounds like it was rough in those days but all seemed normal at the time – Billy Foster used to do some ‘work’ for my grandad and went to Julie’s and chinned 6 doormen – came back to cooperage and when the police came he said it was self defence and they just let it go :O

Comment #72Mindshaft
It was worse in town for a year or two after Vivs death, they brought doormen up from London, it didn’t go down well.
Trouble at the doors every night, worst I’ve seen the town for violence.
Although theres been a recent increase in muggings by youngins around town, I got jumped by 6 a few weeks back. No big deal, they ran off in the end but others aren’t so lucky.
I’d say Newcastle is reasonably safe, compared to other cities around the country.
