The secret to Newcastle’s pre-Christmas revival can be revealed - Santa Claus, hot chocolates, profiteroles and snow tubing!
Confidential can reveal that the squad and their families enjoyed a trip to Winter Wonderland in Kielder last week, with staff at the festive experience almost falling off their sleighs when the Toon stars walked in en masse.
My sources tell me a good time was had by all, with the players even bombing down an artificial slope in donut-shaped rings! Snow tubing, it’s called.
Jacob Murphy was said to have particularly enjoyed the profiterole bags on offer.
