Alan Shearer has asked if Newcastle United fans can bring their black-and-white scarves 'every week' after creating a 'bloody brilliant' atmosphere in the Carabao Cup victory over Leicester City. The Magpies booked their place in the League Cup semi-finals for the first time since 1976 with a 2-0 success over the Foxes on Tuesday night.
Eddie Howe's side shrugged off the disappointment of the FA Cup defeat at Sheffield Wednesday just three days before to deliver a dominant display against their Premier League rivals. The hosts were unable to find the breakthrough before the break despite a superb first-half showing, but goals from Dan Burn and Joelinton secured a deserved win for the Magpies.
The Toon Army responded magnificently to Wor Flags' social media initiative to bring their scarves for the eagerly anticipated quarter-final tie at St James' Park. The sellout crowd recreated the scarf twirling which swept the stands during Shearer's testimonial in May 2006.
