Tiote loving relationship with Newcastle fans

Cheik Tiote is delighted with the relationship he enjoys with Newcastle United fans.

The former FC Twente midfielder is a cult hero on Tyneside after his wonder goal in the 4-4 thriller with Arsenal capped one of the most remarkable comebacks of all time.

That has led Geordie fans to scream "Shoot!" when Tiote gets the ball - even though he only has the one goal so far.

Tiote, 24, said: "I'd love to score another goal like that but they don't come along too often.

"My game is more about tackling and passing than scoring but that doesn't mean I will stop practising.

"I have watched that goal six or seven times. It has become a very famous goal and that Arsenal game is now on DVD.

"It feels good to watch it because it was such an amazing game."
