Newcastle co-owners Mehrdad Ghodoussi and Jamie Reuben join Toon Army's Trafalgar Square celebration

Newcastle United co-owners Mehrdad Ghodoussi and Jamie Reuben have donned hoods to join the Toon Army's carnival celebrations in Trafalgar Square. Thousands of Magpies supporters have come together in the London plaza to celebrate ahead of Sunday's Carabao Cup final at Wembley.

Chants of 'tell me ma' have rung out on repeat in Trafalgar Square on Saturday evening as Newcastle prepare for their first domestic cup final in almost three decades. Eddie Howe's side will be aiming to write themselves into folklore with a triumph that would end a trophy drought extending back to 1955.

Manchester United stand in the way of a statement victory following the Saudi-led takeover, with the Red Devils considered the favourites for the showpiece occasion. Erik ten Hag's arrive in the capital on the back of a thrilling Europa League knockout success over Barcelona, but were held to a goalless draw by the Magpies at Old Trafford in October.

Ghodoussi and Reuben have not been shy in interacting with the Toon Army on social media since the takeover, as Howe's side quickly transformed from relegation favourites to top-four contenders. The pair clearly could not resist the opportunity to join in the festivities at Trafalgar Square, and the former posted a picture from the carnival-like celebrations.

One fan wrote: "Absolutely love this! HWTL. None of this would be possible without you both and Amanda, thank you."

Another supporter commented: "Owners undercover to take it in. Honestly best club in the world with the best owners."
