KIERON Dyer insisted he will never be bitter about his time at Newcastle despite the increasingly fractious relationship with the club’s fans that soured his last few months at St James’s Park.

Dyer finally completed a £7m move to West Ham yesterday – after the initial deal had collapsed a fortnight ago when Newcastle upped their asking price – and the England international is relishing the prospect of a new challenge at Upton Park.

But the 28-year-old refused to be critical of Newcastle or the club’s supporters as he urged the Magpies’ new owner Mike Ashley to give Sam Allardyce everything he needs to bring success to the club.

After eight years on Tyneside, Dyer knew the time was right for him to leave the North-East, but he is adamant he would rather remember the good times than the bad as he attempts to re-ignite his career with the Hammers.

“Newcastle United is in the past for me now, but it is a past I will always have fond memories of,” said Dyer, who will be included in Steve McClaren’s England squad for the friendly against Germany next week. “I know things were not ideal at the end, but I’m not bitter and I’m not going to leave slagging people off, saying this and saying that about the club or the fans.

what do you think then Yogi i bet your happy now eh?
