Newcastle United

[Pancho Regan]

I’m so chuffed for Newcastle Utd finally winning a trophy after all those years.

Their fans are brilliant and they deserve their day in the sun. An amazing sight at Wembley with those acres of black and white.

And how amazing to see our old centre forward Graeme Jones being part of the celebrations.

[NickDRFC]

Bit torn on this one, I always used to like Newcastle in the Keegan/Shearer days and their fans generally are a good bunch but it's impossible to shake off the sovereign fund stench associated with the club these days.

Fully deserved today though, Liverpool barely even made a game of it.

[Pancho Regan]

Fair comment Nick, I’m just chuffed for the fans and for Eddy Howe

[Pancho Regan]

And of course as Rovers in Spain says in his thread, our old hero Paul Barnes will be a proud Dad tonight.

[Ldr]

Graeme Jones be a bit chuffed too

[ncRover]

Special one for Dan Burn winning a trophy for his boyhood club. Some header.

[Silkscarf]

Eddie Howe learnt it all under SO’D.

If good things come in 3 then he’s got something extraordinary coming up this week!

[Lesonthewest]

Chuffed to bits for Newcastle, huge club, massive fan base, & passionate about their football.

[Chris Black come back]

A terrible club with arguably the worst set of supporters in the modern game.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Well deserved for the fans and refreshing for the game.

Are you serious?

Newcastle supporters are possibly the best fans in the country.
Did you see that today?

Not often i disagree with you CBCB but i can think of a much worse club with awful fans not far from here.

[Chris Black come back]

I get the general point but they are just another petrostate funded entity winning a trophy. The refreshing change will be if Forest or even Bournemouth make it into the ECL. I had hoped to see Newcastle win nothing for as long as possible.

I only saw the second half after getting back home from a golf day but what I saw of it, Newcastle were the better side and after the second goal they all ran their blood to water to protect the lead.
They did deserve to win.

How did you play Graham? Still too cold for me to venture out onto the course just yet!

My first outing since early November mate and finished with a steady 32 points at the KP Club.
So I was quite happy with that today.

OK, I get your point about the owners but how on earth can you criticise the fans?

Some header but what were Liverpool thinking giving him not only a free header but also 3 practices to get his range !

Ffs they didn't even take any corrective action after going 1 down and still left their smallest Player to attempt to block him in 2nd half

Akin to a 50 year old Gate trying to stop a factory fresh JCB getting past it

LFC were abysmal compared to how they have been playing up until lately

[Branton Red]

Why don't teams put players on the posts anymore at corner kicks?

The number of goals from corners, at all levels, that are conceded by not doing so....

[drfchound]

A Swindon defender on the post at the last home game would have played Billy onside so I wish they had done it.

Haven’t Bournemouth been fined for financial fair play, and the Notts Forest owner was rumoured to do some very underhand dealings

[roversdude]

Nice to see Eddie Howe finally get a trophy lol

[andyst79]

Credit to Eddie Howe, I know there's question marks over the ownership but due to financial fair play he's not been able to just go out and spunk a load of cash. Nearly all his signings have been very shrewd and some with great re-sale potential. I'm not sure if Dan Ashworth has been behind some of them?

Millwall?

Liverpool.

[Draytonian III]

Agreed, Liverpool.

[LincsRover]

Nah, both wrong - Leeds! 

[Padge_DRFC]

Come along way since the days of holding A4 pieces of paper saying Pardew out

Fans don't care where the money comes from even if it comes from human rights abuses and/or slavery.

It is probably about as good as it gets for Newcastle I would say.

Won't make top 4 and Isak, Gordon and Bruno willl leave.
