Good for the geordies, good for Eddie Howe who I think is a little underrated at this point. Liverpool can manage with just the prem, I think they'll be just fine.

Feel chuffed for the Georgies on this one.
Separate note, should this year be considered a failure for Liverpool?
Pleased for the fans, they deserve it after years of failures and near misses - but it's very hard to get past their ownership by an oppressive, murderous regime.
Yeah, totally focusing on the fans in my chuffedness
In my opinion, no. Slot winning the league in his first season is huge. But there's no doubt they'll be feeling disappointed. They seemed unstoppable for a while and nailed on for at least a double.
Again, a result I didn't see coming. Somehow a Liverpool team, that looked like it was cantering to the Premier League title, easily stumbles in cup competitions. Perhaps they are not as strong as the league position would suggest?
I think "easily stumbles" is harsh.
In the FA Cup they played a weakened side - too weakened, and that was a mistake, but it wasn't like the first team lost.
In the CL they took an awesome-looking PSG to ET and penalties.
And yesterday, they were crap, but very obviously knackered after the aforementioned midweek PSG game.
Spread too thin I think, a few more recruits in midfield and defence last summer would have helped.
First trophy in 70 years! Great day for the Magpies 🏆
