Here’s the photo all Newcastle United fans absolutely loving on this Thursday morning

Newcastle 2 Fulham 1 – Wednesday 17 December 2025 8.15pm

The photo that Newcastle United fans had all really really really wanted to see on Thursday morning!

Eddie Howe leading his team to such an important victory.

United winning 2-1 against Fulham, a repeat of the St James’ Park scoreline back in October.

It was so much more than that though.

The need to bounce back with a victory after Sunday’s defeat AND the small matter of a third Carabao Cup semi-final in four years to look forward to.

A winning snapshot post-match.

The all important winning photo =  The twelfth of the season.

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.

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… etc etc’

I absolutely love it.

At least 27 more games to go this season in all competitions, so hopefully a fair few more of these photos to come.
