Newcastle United have been ending hoodoos and breaking records all season with their Wembley win and Carabao Cup victory of course being the most meaningful one.
It was 70 years since Newcastle last lifted a domestic trophy and 56 years since they last won any major silverware, but that stat has finally been put to bed.
All season we’ve been ending curses against other clubs while our players set new records.
There are still a few to smash. A win at Anfield next season would be delightful, for instance.
Newcastle United can achieve something they’ve not done since 1931 on Sunday
There is a 94-year-old curse Newcastle United could banish on Sunday should they pick up three points against Manchester United on Sunday.
As pointed out by the BBC, Newcastle have not managed a league double over the Red Devils since the 1930/31 season.
“Following their 2-0 win at Old Trafford in December, Newcastle are looking to complete their first league double over Manchester United since the 1930-31 campaign.
“Newcastle have won four of their past five meetings with Manchester United in all competitions (L1), as many as they had in their previous 41 (D9 L28).”
Eddie Howe has turned the tide against Manchester United
We never need an incentive to want to beat Manchester United, but if Eddie Howe needs ammo to motivate his lads, there it is right there.
Howe has managed to turn the tide against Man United since taking over at Newcastle, but we have a long way to go to even the score.
Newcastle are huge favourites going into the match on Sunday, with Man United having a terrible season and the Magpies being in fine form. Ninety-four bloody years. Let’s end this one now!
