One of a whole bunch of the Likeable lads.

 

Pure quality player and guy. 

 

 

 

I'm very grateful this is the group that has done it for us. A real shame Botman, Hall and Gordon couldn't play and experience that, because they've all played a vital part in the last few season that have led us to this. 

 

I also have a little sadness knowing this moment has been somewhat stolen from Elliot Anderson because of what had to be done in the summer.

Indeed though the season Anderson has had has to somewhat alleviate things

Definitely. I'm sure he feels a bit of relief himself that the move has worked out incredibly well, but I don't doubt he'd also have loved to be part of this squad still, especially after yesterday.

His interview after the game is amazing <3 

 

Saw his Dad straight after the match and told him his son's a legend forever, fucking class!

Bloody love the idea that his dad and lass sits in the stands with all the fans. I can imagine his heart pure bursting with pride! His son, Brazilian international, captaining his club to its first trophy in 70 years, adored by an entire city. What a life!

One of our greats. 
 

For someone who had such poor English when he joined, to giving that interview on the pitch after captaining the team to our first trophy in 70 years. I can’t imagine anyone being able to explain what it means any better than that, and with such emotion. He was brilliant yesterday.

I agree.  However, for the Liverpool goal ...............

Just seen that interview immediately after the game for the first time. Wow. Powerful stuff. He fucking adores it here and we fucking adore him. What a guy. Growing into such a good captain.

He's a kindred spirit. Whether that means we're a bit Brazilian or he's a bit Geordie I don't know or mind. All I know is that we love him and he loves us. Jonas had it as well, there's an unspoken bond there with players who just like us wear their hearts on their sleeves and fucjing love football.

 

He also goes into the all time Newcastle XI. A captain that saw us to our first trophy in decades ffs. :lol: He's a legend.

Ref gets in his way, almost forcing him to try that spin. It comes off or wins him a free kick 9 times out of 10 as well, and it also just proves how good we were for 99 minutes yesterday that the one time something doesn't come off they play a great pass and score within seconds.

There is something in what you've said I reckon and that is that the South Americans in general wear their hearts on their sleeves with regards to football and I think we've always been a very hearty club but not always with much head. Eddie Howe has brought that element and all of a sudden, we've become a lot more well rounded as a club.

In one of the interviews yesterday, he mentions his kids are Geordies. Just imagine if in 16 years we've got a young Guimarães making his Newcastle debut after coming through the academy :bluestar:

Funny thing for me is, when he was named captain I thought it was a terrible idea. The ONLY reason is he gets really hot headed and that's the last thing you want from your captain. That said, he's toned it down and done a great job since being named.

You have to love Bruno, hope he stays for a long time.
