A day of mixed emotions: not the result we wanted, but top 5 secured and that’s all that matters!

A League Cup victory, 5th place in the Premier League and guaranteed Champions League football in 2025/26.

An incredible season and transformative summer ahead. HWTL! 🖤🤍

#NUFC #premierleague #NEWEVE

After the Chelsea win I boldly/foolishly speculated that 1 more point would be enough to secure Champions League football.

Little did I know that ZERO points was actually enough. A crazy end to one of the best seasons in my lifetime.

Very excited about what comes next…

#NUFC

Beaten by a poorer side.

We were blunt in attack - expected from Wilson (to the point of being a hindrance) but more poor decision-making in final third by Barnes & Gordon.

Arsenal there for the taking and we didn’t do much wrong defensively. Sets up a huge final game. #NUFC

Have to applaud the song selection at full time: Chelsea Dagger and Parklife (written by a massive Chelsea fan). #NUFC

A gargantuan win in the sunshine, a dogged Newcastle get the better of 10-man Chelsea.

Cracking 1st half which set the tone (red card justified) but a nervy/leggy 2nd half challenged us.

Massive goals from Tonali and Bruno take us into 3rd with 2 games left. HWTL!! 🖤🤍 #NUFC

A frustrating performance but a massive point in the race for Champions League football.

Teams below us 3 points behind and with inferior goal differences. Could do with results going our way next few weeks, but still in our hands if we beat Chelsea and Everton at home. #NUFC

Buzzing to have Eddie Howe back in the dugout. His presence is going to be vital for our final run-in.

Some interesting stats v Ipswich:

• 47 crosses into the box attempted
• 78% possession - a new Premier League high for 24/25
• 19 PL wins now, 2nd only to Liverpool

#NUFC

A comfortable win in the sunshine. Ipswich aggression difficult for us 1st half but they struggled with our crosses in the box. We did everything but score until Isak’s penalty.

A very controlled 2nd half & 2 good goals from crosses won it. Ref was v poor. Up to 3rd! 🖤🤍

Statistically it was, we both went into break with a goal each and 2 shots on target each. Similar passing stats.

Shots off the frame of the goal are still off target too.

We built attacks well and got crosses in.

2nd half the teams couldn’t have looked more different.

A very disappointing 2nd half performance after an evenly balanced 1st.

Watkins kept exposing us, Villa have been good value for the win. We’ve looked leggy and shellshocked, couldn’t get a foothold.

A sobering reminder that CL football not yet secure, but we can rectify with win v Ipswich. #NUFC

Yeah it’s so satisfying to see us click on the pitch. Nobody will want to play us at the moment and we need to take this confidence into the weekend too, tough game but no reason we can’t win.

The team’s really hit a new level.

A 2nd notable winning streak at the business end of the season for cup final and CL chase.

We’re beating big teams, but also managing to see off the poor and middling teams with conviction, and without heavily relying on Isak’s goals either. 🖤🤍

#NUFC

He prevented so many counter attacks tonight, almost effortlessly. He’s the best defensive midfielder in the Premier League right now.

Massive 3 points to send us up to 3rd!

Despite favours from the officials, Palace capitulated before half time and we showed again how clinical we are.

Another MotM display from Tonali who continues to be untouchable. He is the king 👑 St James’ Park is his castle 🏰

#NUFC

We paid the same fee for Sandro Tonali as Man Utd paid for Mason Mount. Chalk and cheese.

Tonali has been transformative for us and despite how strong his form is right now, there’s still so much more to come from him.

Midfield maestro 🇮🇹 #NUFC

Massive win in the chase for Champions League, and always a delight beating Man Utd.

Barnes’ brace was impressive, and an outstanding Sandro Tonali drove the team’s performance today. 9/9 points since cup final, we really are the team to beat now while rivals stutter. 🖤🤍

His energy, dribbling and reading of the game are really impressive.

A tough game under the lights but all we needed was a functional win to set the tone.

A devastating attacking move before HT and a stunning world-class strike from Tonali enough to see off a well-drilled Brentford.

Tino man of the match for me.

Big 3 points after an emotional few weeks. 🖤🤍 #NUFC

Great to be a part of another CBS feature from last week’s cup final build-up (includes some optimistic scousers too!).

Still an emotional wreck. Still can’t believe we actually won the cup!

Yeah I think it was a nice blend of Salah being invisible and Tino ensuring he didn’t get the chance to be effective.

The timing of our goals yesterday was crucial in shaping the game:

Burn’s header before HT rubber stamped our 1st half dominance and changed Slot’s HT teamtalk.

Liverpool looked sharper after HT, but didn’t take the opportunity to assert control. Isak scores soon after and it crushed them. #NUFC
