It Is Time For Nigel Dejong To Know He Has Full Support From Us City Fans

Nigel Dejong our defensive midfielder has been ousted by his own country and made an example of, they had to try and fix the damage done to Netherland's reputation at the last World Cup. Bert Van Marwijk is an utter disgrace along with the Dutch FA, I am very surprised none of his national team-mates have come to Dejong's aid but then they are probably just covering their own hides.

Only one voice came out in support of Nigel Dejong, that was Dutch captain Mark Van Bommel but not much could be said for his support for it smacked of a man choosing his word carefully. Van Bommel chose to show support for Dejong while advising him to re-evaluate his game, Van Bommel bowed to his own critics demands and has become a shadow of the player he once was and thinks Dejong should do the same.

Our National media have tried their best to ruin Dejongs career along side almost all Newcastle fans, some opposing fans of other clubs and even fellow pro footballers who think the game should protect them with extra special treatment. Calling for Dejong's head on a golden platter while biting on an apple but for what, Ben Arfa is recovering from his accident and will be back playing one day soon and they want Dejong to be banned from playing and if they had their way it would be permanent.

Hatem Ben Arfa has not made any statement which smacks of Newcastle probably advising him not too, all he could muster was a message thanking for support from his Newcastle fans while Dejong was witch hunted.

Well I for one do not want Nigel Dejong to change anything and want to show my full support, the incident with Hatem Ben Arfa was an accident containing no malice.

If anything the posy hunting Dejong, Bert Van Marwijk and the Dutch FA and media should be ashamed of themselves.

I do not know one City fan who is not in full agreement with me on this matter, every single City fan I have spoken too or seen statements from also fully support Nigel Dejong.

Send a letter of support to our club or email even, leave a message below, take a banner to Eastlands or shout from the stands.

It is time we showed Dejong he is not alone.
