Twitter reacts to the 125th year celebration of Newcastle United

Newcastle United celebrated their 125th anniversary yesterday and the Toon army took it to Twitter to relive their memorable moments as fans.

Newcastle were founded in 1892 by the merger of Newcastle East End and Newcastle West End, and has played at its current home ground, St James' Park, ever since. The Magpies are eighth in the all-time FA Premier League table and have the ninth highest total of major honours won by an English club with 11 wins.

Known for their incredible support even in turbulent times, the Newcastle fans have made the club's journey all the more special. Here are some of the best tweets regarding the 125th year anniversary:

Aged 6, my dad took me to @nufc for the first time. The club of his dad and now mine. 30 years on, we take that same walk each home game. There have been highs and lows but the feeling of pure joy when the ball hits the back of the net never goes way. #thanksdad #125YearsUnited

However, few of the supporters including Alan Shearer focused on the 2-3 loss and posted their views on the same.

Nowhere near good enough @NUFC today. Sell our club Mr Ashley to someone who wants to be here before it’s too late again. #newlei #125years

That's just about the most Newcastle United thing we could've done on our 125th anniversary #nufc #125YearsUnited

Not good enough again #NUFC. Lack so much quality, it's so frustating to watch. I've said it before but January can't come quick enough... Ashley just do the right thing and sell. Let someone else take over WHO ACTUALLY CARES about the club. #125YearsUnited
