I usually like Winter but I don't know why Ryan Mason is constantly mentioned, presumably just cos he "knows the club".

 

 

 

Wonder who the assistant to the assistant to the assistant is who will take over in the last couple of matches of the season.

"Is this real life" crossed my mind over and over again yesterday :lol:

 

Totally. Messaged my dad after the fifth just saying "Am I dreaming?" 

 

That only one other team has ever done what we did (and that being Pep's Man City, so an entity that exists on a unique plain to all other football teams) demonstrates how surreal and special that opening 20 minutes was. Sure Spurs were broken, but broken teams play most weeks in the Premier League, they don't concede five before the concourses have emptied. We were absolutely amazing.

That was the most scintillating 20 minutes I've ever seen a Newcastle team produce. That would probably have been the case if it was against a side bottom of the league, to do it in this context against rivals for a CL spot is just unthinkable. 

 

The only game that comes to mind as somewhat comparable is Cole's hatrick in 30 minutes against Liverpool in 93/94. That felt a huge deal at the time to people of my dad's age, with Liverpool's 70s and 80s dominance still fresh in the memory and us the newly promoted upstarts.

 

Yesterday eclipsed even that though. Fans all over Europe must be looking at Howe's Newcastle with admiration at the moment, and even more so next season fingers crossed.
