It’s been two weeks since they finished waiting for several decades for a trophy by winning in Wembley.
And this afternoon, the club, its supporters and the city will celebrate one of the best days in the history of Newcastle United.
The special teams Magpies of the eras of Kevin Keegan and Sir Bobby Robson got closer, but it was Eddie Howe and his players who finally delivered silverware.
They will forever be heroes on Tyneside for what they have done.
Their race towards the final was exciting, but far from being simple with Nottingham Forest, Chelsea and Arsenal among the teams they defeated before facing Liverpool in Wembley. It is the top four of the Premier League.
You cannot say that they did not win it.
Ramous by 32,000 supporters, their performance in the final was exceptional.
A head in the first half of the defender of Geordie Dan Burn was the first goal of Wembley of the club in 25 years.
And when Star striker Alexander Isak scored at the start of the second half, Wembley’s black and white section could really start to dream.
Despite a late Liverpool goal and 12 minutes of additional time, it was Newcastle day.
Seventy years since their last domestic trophy – and two years after a final defeat of the overwhelming Cup against Manchester United – Newcastle was Western Winners.
