A historic Northumberland country house has nailed its colours to the mast, or at least its gates, ahead of this weekend's Carabao Cup Final.
Newcastle are within touching distance of their first domestic trophy since 1955 as they take on Manchester United at Wembley on Sunday afternoon. And the Blagdon Estate near Cramlington has found a unique way to encourage Eddie Howe's men.
Its two pristine white bulls sat atop the pillars to its gatehouse entrance close to the A1 currently appear a little more like zebras from afar, as they're donning the black and white of Newcastle United.
