Gus Poyet: "To be honest, the game where I thought there was pressure was Newcastle at home.

"Eight games in the table, no wins and you play your biggest rival - that's pressure.

"This is football. Sometimes we - me in particular - take it to a level of craziness where it shouldn't be like that because it's a game.

"We can win 20 games now and somebody will go down, but I suppose from that team, nobody will die.

"Sometimes we think if it's us, we are going to die, but that's the way we are.

"We need to control the emotions, be realistic and accept the challenge, but at the same time not go over the line because if not, somebody will die, will have a heart attack and it will be a shame."
