The photo all Newcastle United fans were REALLY so desperate to see | OneFootball

The photo Newcastle United fans had all REALLY wanted to see.

The belief was there that Eddie Howe and his players could do it.

As we all know to our cost though, you don’t always get what you deserve.

However, the photo below is proof that on this occasion, Newcastle United fans did see their team get what they deserved, at least in terms of result… as arguably the winning margin could and should have been even higher than the four goal difference.

Another photo = The first of the season.

That Premier League winning feeling.

The first of these Newcastle United photos featuring Sandro Tonali, the same with Harvey Barnes and Tino Livramento.

Here’s hoping they become to see it as the norm.

Only one game and one win but clearly so much potential for the rest of this season and beyond for Newcastle United under Eddie Howe.

The Newcastle United Head Coach introduced this tradition of a post-match everybody included photo following each victory, as he felt it had worked as a bonding exercise when he was at Bournemouth.

Great to see.

It is also a massive bonus just how much it winds up fans of certain other clubs and journalists.

‘Look at them, think they have won the Premier League / Champions League / World Cup etc etc’

I absolutely love it, keep these wins (and photos!!!) coming.
