Remarkable Eddie Howe stat shows anything is possible ahead of dream Newcastle week

Beating Chelsea could be just the start of an epic journey

Eddie Howe arrives at Stamford Bridge

My what a grand way to start a momentous week living amongst the peaks of football's Himalayas!

The Mighty Mags beat the Club World Champions in their own Stamford Bridge courtyard before moving on to Barcelona for a Champions League winner-takes-all showdown and finally ending up at St James Park for the epic return of a Premier League derby with Sunderland where revenge is high on the agenda.

After all that is completed United's troops, exhausted mentally and physically after a relentless fixture pile up all season, will collapse into a most welcome three week break.

That victory........
