Newcastle supporters believe the happiest day in the club's history for 56 years was the precursor for the biggest ongoing transfer saga in the Premier League this summer.
The Magpies lifted their first piece of silverware since 1969, and first domestic domestic trophy for 70 years, when they beat Liverpool 2-1 in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley in March.
Alexander Isak scored the decisive goal for Newcastle, when he made it 2-0 in the 52nd minute in the showpiece - writing himself in the club's folklore.
However, five months on that affection for Swedish striker has turned to disdain for many of the Newcastle fan base as he tries to force a move out of the club and join Liverpool instead - who recently had a £110million bid rejected.
