Bruno in the middle as Newcastle fans bask in football sunshine

All morning the rain had been lashing down in Southampton. For those making the long trip from Newcastle for the Premier League clash at St Mary’s, perhaps the overcast conditions could have hinted at a grim day on the south coast.

After all, this is what they have been used to for years, literally and figuratively. But then, just before kickoff, the rain stopped, the clouds scattered, the sun found a way through.

And, quite poignantly, it seemed to be shining only on those standing in the away end. In truth, the Newcastle fans have been basking in footballing sunshine all season.

The club, the team and the supporters are these days emerging from what seemed like a 15-year storm, and it all came together gloriously for them on Sunday.
