Nottingham Forest midfielder Jonjo Shelvey took aim at his former Newcastle teammates after Friday night's 2-1 defeat.

Shelvey complained about Newcastle's "whingeing" on the night.

He said, "I thought we battled hard and restricted them. We knew they were going to have a lot of the ball. It is one of them. It is disappointing.

"When you are in the position we are in every point is vital. The way lads dug in an d dug deep we deserved something from the game. There weren't too many clear cut chances either way. But it wasn't meant to be. We dust ourselves down and go again.

"You know they will start fast, the way they play. When we went longer it helped us. We got the goal and the place was bouncing but it is naive to concede just on half-time. It gives them a boost.

"I didn't think they [Newcastle] would whinge as much as they did on the pitch. But it is a game of football. I represent this football club now. I will give it my all. But yeah, a lot of whingebags in their team. I will tell them that, only in a jokey way. I hope they get into Europe and have just positive words about the club."
