Thousands of Toon Army fans descended on London for the the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.
Despite the backing of a fervent support, who made the most of their first Wembley visit since the 1999 FA Cup final, the outcome was the same with a 2-0 defeat to Manchester United.
It left Newcastle still without a major trophy since 1969 and with their last domestic cup success, the FA Cup, back in 1955.
But for Magpies' fans, despite a defeat, "it's signs of good things to come".
