'This city is believing again,' read Wor Flags' banner in the Gallowgate End before kick-off. Believing that anything is possible once more - and understandably so following Newcastle United's 4-0 win against Aston Villa at St James' Park.
Fourth-placed Newcastle have now won five of their last six games. Eddie Howe's side are unbeaten in eight matches and have lost just one fixture all season. With this sort of momentum, this club is historically difficult to stop.
You have to go back to 2006 for the last time Newcastle won five Premier League games in a month and 2002 for the last time the Magpies won this many matches (18) in a calendar year. On both occasions, Newcastle ended up playing in Europe.
