Best: Newcastle players showed we are made of RIGHT STUFF

Leon Best says Newcastle United showed the RIGHT STUFF in their comeback against Arsenal.

And with down to earth stars like Joey Barton, Kevin Nolan and Cheik Tiote on board, Best feels United won't go too far wrong if they maintain the same application in the final 14 games.

Best told the Evening Chronicle: "It was a hard job, but it shows what Newcastle is about.

"We have Northern Rock on our shirts, you saw the Northern Rock right there - that was us against Arsenal and we showed them what we can do. People may wonder if I can fill the void left by Andy Carroll.

"I've been the underdog a lot of times in my life and come out on top.

"I just need to keep doing that. If I keep scoring it's good but it's about the team. We've shown what a team we are.

"The first half was bad, but when you perform like we did you can take the first half out, we could have easily gone on and won it.

"It was an outstanding performance from everyone, from the fans, to the manager to John Carver to everyone, the subs as well."
