I spoke to the players two years ago before their Wembley trip and that didn’t work, so I wont be giving any advice this time.

It is not just about turning up to win it – you also need a little bit of luck in finals, so let’s hope lady luck is shining on Newcastle.

You can win or lose a game before you even walk out, I really believe that.

While Newcastle have tried to keep things as normal as possible this week that wasn’t the case in 2023 – maybe because of the pressure, or maybe because of people like me talking about it being 70 years without a domestic trophy.

It really is difficult to get away from that, but maybe it is the right choice to normalise things.

That said, winning on Sunday would change everything for Newcastle. Eddie Howe could choose where he wants his statue.

There have been so many great managers down the years who have tried to win a trophy at the club and not managed it.

I still speak to Bob Moncur, the last captain to lift a trophy back in 1969, and ending that long wait would be such a special thing.

No-one would ever be able to take that away from this group of players and coaching staff.

When the whistle goes, I want to see passion and fight. I want to see all the traits of Eddie and Newcastle over the years that have got them into this position.

Give it your best lads – and bring it back to Newcastle.
