Beautiful post this, it’s a place that gets in your bones 

Absolutely. I’ve only lived there a short while relatively speaking, but I long back for it every single day at least once or twice in a fleeting thought. A brilliant place inhabited by outstanding people.

Fucking hell, crying my eyes out all over again

I didn't think anything could top the emotions of yesterday but I've just got to see the Intertoto Cup trophy face to face. Life doesn't get any better.

So glad they did the bus parade. That’s tradition, it’s not manufactured, you can see in the players, staff and family that it’s pure joy.
 

You don’t need a stage or a light show, it was fine but, riding around your city, in an open top bus, celebrating with the people is the best. It links to the past and future. We’ll have captured lifelong fans because of it, it was lovely to see generations of families there and to hear parents with kids on their shoulders cheering and singing.

 

As the bus passed I was caught by a memory of my recently late mother recalling how she watched from a window on Grainger St as the FA Cup winners from the 50’s passed by. 

 

Great day.

Looked more than 300K to me - wasn't an inch free all along the route.

Thought this was a good summary

Absolutely desperate for Osula to make it here and not just be known as a mad character off the pitch

[bobbydazzla]

Can we all be honest, take off our black n white tinted spectacles for a brief moment and deal with the 100 tonne elephant in the room…

 

If any daft cunt blows a vuvuzela near me ever again I’m ramming it so far up their arse that they’ll sound like a human kazoo whenever they breathe in, for the rest of their lives. And I won’t use lube either

 

Nothing more to see here, feel free to carry on with your day as you see fit

Aye, was a canny day yesterday. Ended up along outside Haymarket Metro to watch them pass with my son.

Mobile signal was shoicking in town, so didn't see any of the coverage till we got in last night, and watched the clubs live stream re-run on YT.

Absolutely creased at all the clips of Bruno effing & jeffing live on BBC news! 

What a day though, and what a turn out. The aerial shots around Gallowgate and stack, then along Percy Street with the people on the multi-story car parks.

Just, amazing.

Looks like they have rained on the parade, turning a celebratory day into another ‘experience’

The ballot road to enjoyment 

Telling folk how to celebrate the love of their team 

An enjoyment advisory service organised by people who wear suits and false smiles and have never been to Exeter or Shrewsbury 

Strangling self expression and spontaneity of Geordie folk who have have promoted enjoyment in the face of adversity for a football life time, just look in any Newcastle Upon Tyne pub on a match day, despite the result on the pitch, Geordie’s are the masters of enjoyment, we probably bloody invented it, but now, we need to be instructed on how to behave celebrating our teams cup triumph

I dunno about you, but I don’t need to be listening to a DJ to enthuse me, telling me ‘to make some noise’ I don’t need modern day ‘tunes’ to fire up my vocal chords, I just need my fellow Geordies to be as one, a few choruses of The Blaydon Races, sang at a proper speed, I need smiles and appreciation of the teams achievement

Just a natural reaction 
Just be normal 

I don’t want to see Darren Eales cheesy grin pretending he’s been waiting a life time for this day, telling us this is only the beginning 
Promising global domination and support from all over the world 

It’s now, that’s what it is, and if we never win another trophy again let us enjoy this one, this time, our time, now

Let the Geordie people line the streets with bed sheets and flags and songs, local songs that lift the Geordie heart in celebration of our team, the kids, the not so wealthy, the Grannies and Grandads that can no longer get into the match let alone get their hands on a Wembley ticket, just let the people say thanks to the team that have given us at long last something that we all just dreamed of

The only stage needed is an open top bus rolling slowly through the streets up to St James’s Park amidst a sea of black and white 

Don’t give tradition another kick in the bollocks and turn a celebration into a circus or an American style contrived extravaganza 

We are not anybody else 
We are us 
A people with our own identity 

We don’t need to be told how to celebrate, we have just realised a lifetimes dream

Leave us alone, we have been alone most of our football lives
And through that trophy less loneliness we have built a togetherness comparable to nothing else like it 

Let us get on with our celebration in our own imitable way

Just keep it simple, keep it real, and most of all keep it Geordie

Let the wheels on the bus go around and around ….

Bet he feels like a right numpty now.

That's what it's all about.

Thought that was a great day from start to finish. The atmosphere was brilliant and the whole city was energised. There aren’t many clubs who can do it like that. 
 

I actually thought Ant and Dec were good, but Bruno and Eddie made the event at the Town Moor. Both got the mood perfectly. Chuffed I went down from Edinburgh for it.

Yesterday is why I grew up telling all my pals I was from Newcastle even though I wasn't. It's a city to envy.

This is all absolute gold for PIF. 
 

A monumentally big event being reported on globally, with no doubt every report referencing the owners.

 

Whether that’s ’sportswashing’ or not is up to every individual to decide, but it’s firmly put to bed the ‘are PIF still interested?’ question if it hadn’t been already.

But this is why my username was originally Yorkie-Geordie! I just wanted to be one.

Coverage should hopefully help with upping the value of any sponsorship deals 

[mattypnufc]

Don’t ever want this to stop. Fucking belting man. Absolutely buzzing for two weeks now.

Great day yesterday, went with the whole family and even met up with the eldest in time for the bus to go past.  Atmosphere was cracking as well, even the Mrs and middle child joined in with some of the chants.

 

Well done to everyone involved x
