The Newcastle United team are under an incredible amount of pressure right now, as they look to guide the club back into the Champions League for the first time in 20 years.
It will be a remarkable achievement if they do it, with Newcastle spending last season embroiled in a relegation battle.
The turnaround that Eddie Howe has manufactured has been sensational, and it is proof that the sky is the limit under this ownership.
With seven games to go, the Magpies are in a very strong position to qualify for the Champions League. We are third, and have a five point cushion over Aston Villa who are fifth – as well as two games in hand. Not to add more pressure, but it is ours to lose.
But it does not look like the players are feeling the pressure based on the latest video put out by the club’s social media team.
Newcastle players take on the coin fork challenge
Newcastle have uploaded a video to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok showing the team taking part in the ‘Coin Fork Challenge’.
The aim of the game is to roll a coin down a table so that it lands perfectly inside the prongs of a fork. It sounds easy, but, as shown by the Newcastle players, it is incredibly difficult.
While Matt Ritchie does not play much nowadays, he may have found a future career in coin rolling. He managed to complete the challenge twice, while it was also done by Joe Willock and Alexander Isak.
Other players struggled, with Bruno Guimaraes getting incredibly frustrated. As for Martin Dubravka, it is a good job he is a decent goalkeeper.
It is great to see the players having a bit of fun towards the end of the season when there is still a lot to play for. The camaraderie is brilliant.
And the fact fans are watching just shows how engaged the Toon Army are. It was difficult to sit through an entire 90 minute game when Steve Bruce was in charge, now everyone is tuning in to see if Paul Dummett can roll a coin into a fork.
