Good for the geordies, good for Eddie Howe who I think is a little underrated at this point. Liverpool can manage with just the prem, I think they'll be just fine.

Feel chuffed for the Georgies on this one.
Separate note, should this year be considered a failure for Liverpool?
In my opinion, no. Slot winning the league in his first season is huge. But there's no doubt they'll be feeling disappointed. They seemed unstoppable for a while and nailed on for at least a double.
Pleased for the fans, they deserve it after years of failures and near misses - but it's very hard to get past their ownership by an oppressive, murderous regime.
Yeah, totally focusing on the fans in my chuffedness
Again, a result I didn't see coming. Somehow a Liverpool team, that looked like it was cantering to the Premier League title, easily stumbles in cup competitions. Perhaps they are not as strong as the league position would suggest?
I think "easily stumbles" is harsh.
In the FA Cup they played a weakened side - too weakened, and that was a mistake, but it wasn't like the first team lost.
In the CL they took an awesome-looking PSG to ET and penalties.
And yesterday, they were crap, but very obviously knackered after the aforementioned midweek PSG game.
Spread too thin I think, a few more recruits in midfield and defence last summer would have helped.
First trophy in 70 years! Great day for the Magpies 🏆
