Mehrdad Ghodoussi gives Newcastle United squad fitting new nickname after incredible week

Newcastle managed to win all three games to move up to and consolidate third place position in the Premier League table heading into the final nine matches of the campaign. A 2-0 win over Man United was followed by the club’s biggest away win of the season as they beat West Ham 5-1 before a 2-1 comeback win over Brentford on Saturday.

Three wins in the space of six days leaves Eddie Howe’s side on 56 points, three points inside the Champions League places with a game in hand on Tottenham Hotspur in fifth.

And for the second time this season, The Magpies have managed to string together a run of five consecutive wins - something they haven’t done twice in the same season since they finished second during the 1995-96 campaign.

After the match, Newcastle posted their increasingly common post-victory dressing room photo which shows the squad and staff celebrating the win.

It was accompanied by the caption: “These lads are RELENTLESS! 🤩”

And Newcastle co-owner Mehrdad Ghodoussi shared the image on his personal Instagram account along with the caption: “The dream team.”

Given Newcastle’s realistic Champions League charge less then a year after being locked in a relegation battle, it certainly feels like the stuff of dreams on Tyneside at the moment.
