Craig Bellamy has asked the fans of Newcastle United FC to understand the fact that the Magpies are not as big a team as the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal and thus, to expect them to keep winning all the time is not fair.

Bellamy has played for a lot of clubs including Newcastle and according to him; he never felt as much pressure of expectations anywhere else as at St. James’ Park.

Speaking in a television programme, the 35 year-old said, “The fans over there are just not content with anything. During my time, we once ended up at no. 5 in the league and still, they thought we could have done better.”

“It’s not that I have any sourness in my heart for Newcastle. I respect that club, but, it’s also a fact that there are bigger clubs in England.”

“The Newcastle fans are passionate about their club. I understand that, but, apart from being passionate, they also need to be realistic. They should have the idea where they stand. They should not just keep asking for more and more.”

The Magpies have gone into the international break as one of the most in form teams in the Premier League. They are on a roll having defeated the Reds, the Spurs and the West Bromwich Albion successively. They have got to top 10 in the table with 16 points. They are equalized with Manchester United at present.
Newcastle had finished 8th in 2013-14. They would want to better that this season and try and get to Europe if possible. But, for that, they must keep their tempo after the international break too.

They will play against the Queens Park Rangers on 22nd of this month at their home ground.
