Phil Jones has stressed there is no use complaining about the busy fixture list as he looks forward to another real test at Newcastle. The champions suffered a surprise setback against the defender\'s former club Blackburn at the weekend but are focused on silencing the Sports Direct Arena and maintaining the pressure on Manchester City at the top of the table. \"These periods are all getting bigger,\" he asserted. \"No-one is complaining. Everyone has a little bit of a moan about how many games there are around Christmas but the beauty of it is that everyone is in the same position. \"We just have to get on with it. It\'s about how we manage and cope with injuries. We\'ve been a bit unfortunate but are still up there fighting with the best. I am excited and I\'m loving it. It was a nice feeling to get out of trouble with Blackburn on the last day of the season but it\'s an even nicer feeling knowing you are at the top of the table wih a fantastic chance of winning the English title. \"When the chips are down, you see who the real fighters are. When we kick off every week, we have 11 people fighting on that pitch to win a match. That is the beauty of Manchester United.\" As for the trip to Tyneside, Jones knows the Magpies will be looking for another scalp in front of their vociferous home supporters. \"It can be a daunting place to go,\" he conceded. \"It\'s a great atmosphere. \"They have passionate fans and it will be another difficult game.\"
