'We need to get ugly and bully teams like Arsenal': Dan Burn's message to Newcastle stars after Eddie Howe laid into flops for West Ham debacle

Dan Burn wants Newcastle to be more like Arsenal and rediscover their ’s***housery’ - and has warned his team-mates it’s no good only turning up on the big Champions League nights.

The Magpies host Athletic Bilbao in Europe’s top competition on Wednesday, just three days on from their no-show during a 3-1 defeat at West Ham. They last won away in the Premier League in April and currently lie 13th in the table.

And Burn has given an honest appraisal of where his team are at on the road, admitting that Eddie Howe was right when he said their performance at the London Stadium was indefensible.
