Harper - The Pressure Will Be On
Steve Harper hopes his Newcastle United team-mates can handle the pressure in the Premiership. Steve Harper: “I have never known a dressing room which has been so good before and it was fantastic to be a part of that last season. “The spirit was tremendous and that played a huge part in allowing us to get back into the Premier League at the first time of asking. “We get on well, on and off the pitch as a group, and it was a special thing to be a part of. I’ve been around a long time and it really was. It was the best time I’ve had as a Newcastle player in that respect. “We are going to need that mental strength and togetherness more than ever next season. “We are going to lose a lot more often than we did last season and that is going to put everything and everyone to the test. But I still feel the team spirit and the togetherness we have will stand us in good stead. “If the supporters continue to get behind us and help us through the difficult times, I think we will be okay.”
