It's a new dawn all right. No wonder Nina Simone's hit 'Feeling Good' played over the public address system before Newcastle United's game against Nottingham Forest as Wor Flags unfurled another stunning banner in the Gallowgate End that read: 'It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for NUFC and we're feeling good'.
Newcastle supporters were feeling even better at full-time after witnessing a 2-0 win at St James' Park on Saturday. It is not an exaggeration to say it was the Magpies' most dominant display in the Premier League in years.
The stats told their own story: Newcastle had 62% possession, 23 shots and 11 corners. Forest, in contrast, did not even muster a shot on target as Newcastle's new number one, Nick Pope, enjoyed the most comfortable of debuts in goal.
