"They finished in the Champions League places and won a trophy - those two things together surely means this has to be the most successful and the best season.
"To do that after three transfer windows without improving the starting XI and being forced to sell players last summer while rivals strengthened - the way they have turned this season around in December has been truly remarkable.
"They deserve all of the credit and gratitude they are getting. These are special times for Newcastle United and we are witnessing history."

We asked for your views and pictures after Newcastle secured a return to the Champions League despite a final-day defeat at home by Everton.
Here are some of your replies:
Jaime: Always knew the last game against Everton would be super hard. Jordan Pickford in goal can be the villain and they are a difficult side to play with David Moyes' style. Great season though. If you'd have told us that we have done this after five games, nobody would've believed it. We build and we move forward.
Mal: Talk about 'skin of our teeth'! All I can say - as my parents bought me my first Newcastle shirt for Christmas on 1955 - is … I am definitely getting too old for this!
Ryan: Celebrating at the top of Pen-y-Ghent in the Yorkshire Dales
Michael: I was expecting a tough game us with everything to gain and Everton out there to enjoy themselves and make it hard for us to secure Champions League football. But, we were not at our best and Alexander Isak looks to me like he doesn't want to be at Newcastle anymore with his past last few performances. Teams are circling around him and the transfer window is on the horizon.
Geoff: I've supported Newcastle for 70 years. They always, always make things difficult for themselves. The amount of time I've seen them well beaten by teams much lower in the league. Forget all that though. We've had an incredible season. Fifth in the Premier League, Carabo Cup winners and, to cap it all, into the Champions League next year. We must build on this. We need multiple signings and sell the ones who are patently not good enough. Overall though, very well done to Eddie and his Toon team.
Mark: First purchase of the summer absolutely has to be some new boots for Dan Burn!
Robert: Need a lot more creativity in the team. Anthony Gordon has only one solution - relying on his speed.
Bryan: Really disappointing final game. Absolutely delighted to scrape into the Champions League but an inability to beat the likes of Everton doesn't bode well for a successful campaign next season without major recruitment. We need a young pacey right-footed centre-back, a skilled right winger and another striker to move to the next level. Having said that we've managed a better season than I expected.

Naturally, when you lose the game there's a feeling of disappointment but I think we have to override that with [the fact that] over the 38 games, we deserved to qualify for the competition. It's a huge moment for the club."
On the season: "So much. Throughout this year there have been so many things, not just mentally but tactically and the game evolves so quickly. It's been a brilliant Premier League season. I think we had a difficult summer, I think there was an overhang of that early in the season.
"We had to fight really hard to overcome that and come back in the manner that we did, we can't thank the players enough this year. We've got a great group who give their all in every game and that's all we can ask for. Today, I think we did that. We tried to win the game, but it wasn't to be."
On finding out Newcastle had qualified: "We were getting updated but I didn't want it to dominate my focus. It was only when it looked like we were struggling to score in that second half and our result was in jeopardy that the other results became more important for us, but all the way through the game we were still trying to find a way to score and claw ourselves a way back into the game.
"I think there was a point with about five minutes to go that it looked like barring an amazing last five or 10 minutes, we were there."

They're in disbelief that they've made the Champions League despite a really nervy, edgy performance and a disappointing defeat.
There were crazy scenes at the end. The Newcastle players sank to their knees thinking they were out of the top 5 before Harvey Barnes ran on to tell his team-mates the score at Old Trafford and then the players gathered around a screen on a tablet on the pitch before finally getting a chance to celebrate.
The Champions League anthem was on the tannoy straight away. What a season for Newcastle but they've put their fans through some tense moments tonight.

Image source, Getty ImagesNewcastle United's players got the message loud and clear before kick-off with a giant banner stretching the length of the famous Gallowgate End reading: "You entered the pitch as players, you left it as legends."
It could all have been so different when Everton led and Aston Villa were drawing at Manchester United.
But events elsewhere ensured Newcastle's players and manager Eddie Howe were able to take a glorious lap of honour at the final whistle and bask in the afterglow of a campaign that brought success at home and a passage into the Champions League.
Newcastle were nowhere near their best as Everton controlled the game in front of an increasingly frantic St James' Park crowd, and the Geordie nerves were really jangling when Carlos Alcaraz stole in on Vitaliy Mykolenko's cross to beat Nick Pope with 25 minutes left.
There was a stunned silence until huge roars swept round the stadium in an attempt to shake Newcastle out of the anxiety that had gripped them from kick-off.
In the end, the loudest cheers came from those following events at Old Trafford, as Manchester United's belated attempt to secure some joy from a dismal season by beating Aston Villa spread all the way to Tyneside.
There was still a short wait after the final whistle until Villa's crucial defeat was confirmed, allowing Newcastle and their supporters to officially celebrate qualification for the Champions League.
Image source, Getty ImagesIt went right down to the final day but the European places for next season are now finally confirmed.
Manchester City and Chelsea's wins saw them secure third and fourth respectively, while Newcastle took the fifth and final Champions League spot despite a final day loss to Everton.
Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest's defeats mean they miss out on the top five but will be heading on European adventures in the Europa and Conference Leagues respectively.
Chelsea's win means there will not be an additional spot for eighth place so Brighton's victory at Tottenham does not creep them into Europe.
So the curtain has come down on Newcastle's season and the Magpies will return to the Champions League despite finishing with a defeat against Everton at St James' Park.
It may have been made more nervous than Magpies fans hoped for on the final day, but ending their 70-year wait for a domestic trophy and returning to Europe's top club competitions mean it has been a glorious season for Eddie Howe and his players.
How are you feeling after the game and at the end of a long campaign?

A reminder of what Newcastle require today to secure a return to the Champions League for next season.
Eddie Howe's side know a win at home against Everton will guarantee them a place in the top five regardless of results elsewhere.
A draw would be enough if Aston Villa drop points against Manchester United or Chelsea do not win at Nottingham Forest.
Newcastle are at home, and their superior goal difference means they know any sort of win will keep them in the Champions League places regardless of what Aston Villa do.
I usually fancy Eddie Howe's side to win when they are at St James' Park but there are serious doubts over Alexander Isak's fitness, which is a real worry. I would have a different feeling if he was in the team.
On top of that, Everton are an awkward team to break down, who also carry an attacking threat with Beto in such good form.
So, I do not think this will be straightforward at all. I am still backing the Magpies, but I would not be surprised if Everton nicked a point.

And what could be improved?
We asked you to pick your player of the season after our Newcastle fan contributor narrowed it down to Dan Burn, Sandro Tonali, Jacob Murphy and Alexander Isak.
Here are some of your comments on your selection:
Ruth: Burn has had the season of his career and fully deserves any and all accolades heading his way. It was a difficult choice to make, as all three other contenders have been crucial to Newcastle's success this season - but Big Dan is the man for me. He's made himself absolutely invaluable in defence and, of course, topped off his greatest season so far with an absolute peach of a goal at Wembley. What a man, what a header! You'll never, ever beat Dan Burn, he's from Blyth... a fantastic local underdog story. I salute you, sir.
Paul: Tonali is player of the season for me. I did have doubts at first after the gambling revelations and thought Milan had offloaded him knowing fine well what was coming. But now, I think Newcastle are a much better team with him. He goes about his business in midfield in a no-nonsense and hard-working - but at the same time classy - manner. He purrs when he's on the ball like a luxury car. I wish he would smile more though!
Alex: Tino Livramento has been consistent all season. While others might have shined on their occasion, Tino has been solid in performance and versatile in position. Right-back, left-back, wing-back, he puts a shift in every game. Completely silenced Mohamed Salah in the cup final and was pivotal in Isak's winning goal at Wembley too.
Graham: Tonali for sure. Even before he gets the ball he is looking to see where the other 21 players are and that allows him to hold, pass or run with the ball. His energy and awareness are incredible. Best midfielder I have seen at Newcastle.
Gergely: Our success is obviously based on a very good team effort. Many other players had outstanding seasons, but for me this year is Burn's. His is simply a Geordie fairytale.
Harry: Sandro has been by far the most consistent player in the team and his tank hasn't run out all season. Phenomenal campaign and has proved that it was worth the wait to see him in the midfield. Just like to say though, Murphy shouldn't be included in a conversation like this. Could drag a better player out from a Sunday league team.

However, Everton have only kept more clean sheets against West Ham (23) and Liverpool (21) than they have against Newcastle in the Premier League (18).
Newcastle have won their final league game in eight of the past 10 seasons, with the exceptions a 3-1 loss against Liverpool (2019-20) and a 1-1 draw with Chelsea (2022-23).
Everton have only won their final league game in one of the past eight seasons, beating Bournemouth 1-0 in 2022-23.

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Everton at St James' Park (kick-off 16:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Eddie Howe said the next couple of days will be "crucial" to Alexander Isak's availability against Everton: "He's doing OK. He hasn't trained with us yet but he's made good progress through the week. There's a chance."
He added that Joelinton won't be back for Sunday but envisages he will be back for pre-season with no problems.
On Kieran Tripper, Howe said: "He hasn't trained with us yet. He's had an absence of two, two and a half weeks but has a chance maybe in the next couple of days to build up his load and maybe we will see him train tomorrow. Let's wait and see."
Howe said the mood has been really good but there was a disappointment after the Arsenal game from the result, not the performance. Howe said: "Training has been lively this week. The lads have been in good spirits. I think they're looking forward to the challenge we face on Sunday."
He said the most "surreal" moment for him this season was the cup final experience and scenes that followed but "hopes there's another one to come and that potentially could be Sunday because we shouldn't underestimate the size of the achievement".
The Newcastle boss was asked whether he'll be keeping an eye on results elsewhere on Sunday: "I don't think we can look for any favours from anybody. We have to do our bit and that's purely going to be the only thing in our minds. There will be no talk of other results or other teams. What will be, will be in that respect. Afterwards we'll see and reflect, but we know what we have to do."
On the summer: "My mindset is always the same when you come to this time of the year. You want to act quickly because usually the best available options will move quite quickly. If you're too late to react, you can miss out on potential transfers that really could make the difference. We pride ourselves on identifying our targets quickly and then we have to act quickly and efficiently as a football club."
Howe said that they plan to return for pre-season on 7 July.
