Newcastle players involved in train bust-up with fan on way home after Arsenal humiliation as can be seen in a video going viral on social media.
After the Magpies’ 4-0 defeat in North London, Danny Rose, Nabil Bentaleb, Allan Saint-Maximin and Christian Atsu chose not to travel back to Tyneside with the squad on their flight due to high winds.

The players sat in the first class carriage of an LNER train ended up being approached by angry fans, before discussing how disappointed they were with the result.
The clip shows Bentaleb speaks up for his teammates when criticised by the fan who dished out plenty of unflattering thoughts on their performance.
The incident was filmed by the fan’s friend, prompting Rose to stand up for himself verbally, then the ‘supporters’ were asked to leave the area by the train crew.

In another clip, a train attendant is seen asking two fans to leave with one muttering “disgrace” under his breath as he exits the first-class carriage.
Newcastle have reportedly played down the flashpoint and pictures online show the players posing for photographs with fans on the train out of Kings Cross.
Steve Bruce has not taken any action and the four involved reported for training yesterday.
Instead the Toon now focus on they ended up turning a promising goalless scoreline at the break into a damaging defeat.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang opened the scoring in the 54th minute goal before Alexandre Lacazette, Mesut Ozil and Nicolas Pepe completed the rout.
The defeat has left Newcastle 13th in the Premier League table and seven points clear of relegation, though have won just once in the Premier League in two months.
Fans gave their reaction after seeing Newcastle players involved in the train bust-up, see what they had to say below…
Great way to sell the club to new players. Fans can be absolutely embarrassing at times

That bloke is in the wrong they are just trying to get home after a tough game shouldnt confront them thats to be talked about in the training ground. If knobheads do that the players will lose respect for the club simples

Now see real fans would have a normal chat without recording. But these attention seeking clowns are simply looking for bother.

Embarrassing

This is just embarrassing from the #nufc fan and the guy filming it. Ridiculous. Let them be. Chances of wanting to sign, stay or interact with fans will get less the more people lambast them in public when all they wanna do is go home just like other fans do too

Stone Island coat says it all!

Fact that they have recorded it says everything. Probably turned up hoping for a reaction. Players hardly look like there having the time of their lives. Maybe just trying to get home without being bothered. Some of our fans are an embarrassment.

Absolute dick head! It's not the players who fans should be confronting! 3 new players around that table and he's sitting having a go at them! Ours problems started long before they came! #NUFC
