Newcastle United cancel Christmas party again as they focus on battle with relegation
Newcastle United have cancelled their Christmas party for the second year running after deeming it would not look good as they battle relegation.Rafael Benitez’s players had been preparing to head out into London for their festive bash following Saturday’s crucial match with fellow strugglers Huddersfield Town.2

Newcastles captain Jamaal Lascelles decided not to go ahead with a Christmas party

Now,Newcastles captain Jamaal Lascelles along with Benitez, decided it would be best not to go ahead with any celebrations given their poor run of form in the Premier League.Last Sunday’s defeat at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers leaves them three games without a win, having failed to win their first 10 matches of the season and they are currently 15th in the table, three points above the danger zone. “This group of players, last year they cancelled the party because they knew and they realised that it was not the right thing to do. This year, it has been exactly the same,” Benitez said.“When I was talking to Jamaal, I said, “If something is wrong, you have to realise”. I think he was quite sensible. They wanted to do it because it is a tradition for some players, especially in England.2

Newcastle are struggling once again and lost their last match to Wolves

“But I think they have been quite good and I think that the fans will appreciate that they are just focused on that. Hopefully we will not lose tomorrow, touch wood. If everything is right, fine, still they will not do anything – or at least not that I know! And if something is wrong, still it is the same. They are quite responsible.”At the end of November, it had been reported that the players would revive Christmas plans after winning three successive games, but it looks as if a good old fashion knees up will have to wait for another year.
