A Northumberland butchery trio of Newcastle United fans have lined up a special match-day menu ahead of Newcastle United's appearance in the Carabao Cup Final at the end of this month.
Eddie Howe's men will make their first ever appearance at the new Wembley on Sunday February 26 after defeating Southampton over 3-1 on aggregate, with a Sean Longstaff double confirming their place in the final on Tuesday night. They'll line up against Manchester United, who won their semi-final 5-0 on aggregate against Nottingham Forest.
Tell me ma, me ma, I won't be home for tea, I'm going to Wembley, has rang out throughout Newcastle United's Carabao Cup run. It may have started in hope rather than expectation when Jamaal Lascelles and Chris Wood helped the toon to scrape a 2-1 away at Tranmere's Prenton Park back in August, but any Geordies lucky enough to get their hands on tickets will be heading to the national stadium believing the Toon could realistically get their hands on a first domestic trophy since 1955.
