From the phenomenal effort from Wor Flags, filling up at the anthem, through the roars for tackles, the energy and fuck-youed-ness of our glorious team refusing to be overawed. It is Barcelona all over again. Only regret is not being there. Loving this reincarnation as Eddie’s mags. -
Harsh (but not untrue…).

Ok, my top ten iconic games. No particular order: Newcastle 5-0 Manchester United, 1996. Bitter sweet, partial, revenge for what had happened the previous season, overall and the same fixture, and the Charity Shield debacle. Newcastle 3-2 Barcelona, 1997. Unreal being 2-0 up at half time. Whole occasion was spectacular. Gillespie had a phenomenal game. (Enrique played and scored for them). Chelsea 2-1 FA Semi, 2000—finally saw us score at Wembley. Great occasion and atmosphere. Two of the three most recent cup final defeats (Arsenal 1998, Man Utd 2023). Mainly for the occasion, only really felt confident for the FA Cup against Arsenal. Convinced myself, beyond reason given the relative strength of the teams, that we’d win. Keegan’s first game as a player. Last season, because there were times when I never thought we return to the level we are at. Newcastle 5-1 Tottenham, 2016. I have never felt more proud of our support. Already relegated and the noise, mainly singing Rafa’s name, was continual. Grimsby 0-2 Newcastle, 1993. A third of the crowd and all of the noise from us in Blundell Park to witness Keegan’s team confirming promotion with games to spare. Electric atmosphere, mass pitch invasion. Newcastle 8-0 Sheffield Wednesday, 1999. Robson’s first home game as manager. So moving, in general, but to see Shearer back to his best—five goals—felt so happy for him, like it healed the disrespect shown to him by Gullit. Sunderland 1-2 Newcastle, 1992. 11th win on the trot. Watched this with another three lads amongst the Sunderland fans in the clock stand, mainly sitting on our hands, not in the Fulwell end—where some radgies were openly supporting Newcastle—couldn’t help celebrating O’Briens winning goal though. Escaped unscathed and joyous. Newcastle 1-0 QPR, 1982. Early teens, couldn’t believe he would sign for us. Couldn’t believe he scored and how good he was (plus Waddler and Varadi). Squashed up against the wall of the Gallowgate turnstiles for an hour waiting to get in. Sunny day, cider and bits of bench (!) being launched at the mounted police wading through the dense crowd.

There are many people on here who have been to hundreds more games over the decades, than most (including me). Think I have managed/been lucky to witness first hand some iconic NUFC games over the decades. What would your top ten be? (I’ll try and come up with mine).
