For just the second time in my life, Newcastle United have actually won a trophy. (I *do* remember the Fairs Cup in 1969, by the way...) #CarabaoCup #NUFC #HowayTheLads
Cracking Carabao Cup Final, and the best team won...!

Good away win for Newcastle United in the Midlands tonight against Manchester United. As Jimmy Carter would have said, #HowayTheLads #MUNNEW
Jimmy Carter in Newcastle (1977)
The news of the death at the age of 100 of former US President Jimmy Carter reminded me of a day way back when I was still at school. It was Friday, May 6th, 1977 and I was at the Royal Grammar School, Newcastle upon Tyne. I remember that morning it was announced at Assembly that Carter would be visiting the city and giving a speech outside the Civic Centre, which was less than 10 minutes’ walk from the School. I think some senior boys were allowed to go an see him, but as a mere third-former I went to a class and the occasion largely passed me by.
One thing I do remember is a classmate after Assembly saying “Thank God he didn’t visit Sunderland instead…” – Carter visited Newcastle on his way to Washington (the ancestral home of George Washington), which is nearer to Sunderland than Newcastle. I suppose the reason was that Newcastle has an airport, whereas Sunderland hasn’t.
The other thing I remember was the TV coverage on Look North when I got home, which showed the start of President Carter’s speech with his famous “Howay the Lads!”

R.I.P. Jimmy Carter (1924-2024)
Thinking about Carter after that last boost, and how there’s a plaque at the Newcastle Civic Center commemorating his visit and his “howay the lads”. And now I found it’s on YT! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v2Y1_gmFtn8 #newcastleupontyne #howaythelads
Enjoyed some top notch footy today from #NUFC in their huge cup win over that other team. It’s good to see the lads back to full strength. Hoping for a strong second half of the year. #HowayTheLads
I am a happy Geordie tonight. 4-1 that'll do nicely. #NUFC #HowayTheLads
Newcastle hanging in there against AC . Good to see them back in Europe. Be nice if they could sneak a goal against the run of play early on in the second half. #HowayTheLads #NUFC #ToonArmy
Holy jeez boys, #nufc starting off #premierleague season looking really good. #howaythelads #eieieio #firstplace
Welcome to Tyneside Sandro Tonali!
We’re not spending Manchester United, Manchester City or Arsenal money. It’s smart for us and it’s good for him as well. These boys are coming to us to be part of history.”
