Best memory and why
This one is a no-brainer. Winning a domestic trophy for the first time in more than 70 years was, by some distance, the best moment of my Newcastle United-supporting life. The first goal being scored by Dan Burn was pure poetry. Getting to share that with my best friends and my dad was an incredible privilege.
Worst moment and why
It might be right to say that the worst moment was losing to Sunderland in the first league derby in nearly a decade, but I have deleted that memory from my brain so I cannot. I think it is the Alexander Isak drama over the summer and the realisation that the man who ushered us to cup glory with a second goal had no intention to stay at our beloved club.
If I could drink a New Year’s brew with one member of our squad/management it would be…
Jason Tindall (or as we affectionately call him, Mad Dog) and I would ask him a few things. I want to know how he and Eddie Howe navigate their partnership and conferring on the sidelines, and if they ever seriously disagree on the approach to a game. Essentially, please just give me a cup of steaming hot gossip.
The thing that’s infuriated me in 2025…
Our behind-the-scenes drama which seems to have overshadowed things somewhat. The transfer saga of the summer is still cited as a reason we have not got going this season, and we have had quite a lot of executive level change. I would like that noise to die down.
My gut tells me 2026 will bring…
More tumult because I am a Newcastle fan. This season has not achieved any momentum and I fear 2026 will be a make or break year for Howe.
