Newcastle United defender Steven Taylor has deleted his Twitter account after his side's defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at St James' Park.

The Magpies were thrashed 4-0 by the visiting Spurs and the result takes their recent record to: played four, drawn one, lost three, scored none, conceded 10.

Taylor's departure from the social media platform comes after he vowed not to gee up the crowd at St James' Park with his infamous "fist-pumping" routine.

He said: “It’s all about releasing some energy.

“I get really pumped up before games, and making sure the fans are as loud as they can be and right behind us.

“But there won’t be any more fist-pumping now for a while.”

Meanwhile, striker Sammy Ameobi tweeted after the humiliating defeat just one word - sorry.

The result against Tottenham leaves Newcastle in ninth, nine points above Swansea, but bottom in the home form chart for the last six games.
