Gutierrez Provides Newcastle's Happy Glow

After a campaign of misery, Newcastle's season ended in the most magical fashion for most supporters' favourite player. Jonas is an adopted Geordie. Gutierrez's story is well-told, but bears repeating. In September 2014, the Argentinean revealed that he had been receiving treatment for testicular cancer. He had noticed a lump after a collision with Bacary Sagna against Arsenal in May 2013. After an operation to remove the tumour, he received further chemotherapy following a swelling of his lymph nodes. It was not until November 3 last year that he was discharged from hospital, and began the long road back to full fitness. The first-team return came in March. Gutierrez says that he will never forgive Newcastle for the way he was treated after returning from his illness, with Alan Pardew informing him he was not wanted by the club. It is reported that they also refused to pay his medical bills. Yet it was Gutierrez who put those differences to one side when it mattered most. If there was one Newcastle player to lift the gloom, it had to be him. Gutierrez's cross assisted Moussa Sissoko for the opening goal, and then a scuffed shot sealed the home side's victory and Premier League survival. He ripped off his shirt and celebrated like he has never celebrated before; a stadium went crazy. Having had his own life saved, Gutierrez became Newcastle's own saviour. It was his first goal since his cancer battle had been won. "I know this could be my last game at St James's Park," he said after the game. "Since I have recovered from my illness, I have always said the same thing. I want to help the team and work hard. I've been improving all the weeks since I arrived. I feel stronger and feel I can play 90 minutes. Two months ago, I didn't know I was going to be able to play. "We have to do it for the fans and the city, because they don't deserve to be in this situation," Gutierrez continued. "We are the players, and we have to take responsibility. It's always our responsibility. We are the players that are on the pitch. We have to do it for the fans and the city." I wrote this when Gutierrez returned to the Newcastle side, but even that happy ending has been surpassed. That is the way to truly beat cancer. Fight back, grow stronger and achieve personal greatness. Jonas Gutierrez was already a cult hero at Newcastle. He has now become one of the city's favourite sons. Mike Ashley With his PR at its lowest ebb, it was an opportune time for Mike Ashley to speak to the Sky cameras for the first time. "[My intention is] To definitely win something and, by the way, I won't be selling the club until I do," was Ashley's defiant message. You can read that as an apology for the club's current predicament or the words of a dictatorial owner, but Newcastle supporters at least have some words with which to hang Ashley should he fail to come through. On Match of the Day, Alan Shearer issued his own pointed response: "Now if they stop selling their best players, bring in a few new faces and play the best team in cup competitions, you never know, we might just have a very good club on our hands." Burn. Shearer is right, too. Until now, Ashley has used Newcastle as an elaborate advert for Sports Direct, making a profit year on year. Now the time has arrived to show that the club does mean something to him. It's all very well declaring your intentions to win something, but Newcastle's recent FA Cup record reads: R3, R3, R3, R4, R3, R4, R3, R4, R3. The first show of intent concerns the club's new manager, with John Carver reiterating his desire to stay on as boss. It will be difficult to take Ashley's promises seriously should he again leave the club short in that most vital area. Actions speak louder than words. John Carver He should never manage another match at St James' Park, but it is impossible not to feel happy for Carver. His own obvious inadequacies helped force Newcastle into this sorry mess, but he remains a supporter of the club. Taking the Toon down would have broken his heart.
