NEWCASTLE fans have been left cringing after a season ticket holder released a ‘rave’ song ahead of Sunday’s Carabao Cup final.
Eddie Howe’s men take on Manchester United at Wembley aiming to win a first trophy in 68 years.
Fans are understandably in a great mood with the Magpies flying high and the dark days of Mike Ashley’s ownership well behind them.
And one member of the Toon Army took it upon himself to release a song to mark the club’s historic trip to Wembley.
It includes lyrics like: “Geordie boys make some noise we’re going to Wembley. So tell yi ma, tell yi ma you won’t be home for tea.”
Rival fans have piled in on social media to say how embarrassing it – and even some Newcastle supporters are cringing.

The man behind the song is Toon fan Kevin Hogg who goes by the name MC Tazo.
Speaking on BBC Radio Newcastle Hogg explained how the song came about.
He said: “It’s an underground thing and has been in the North East for 20 years, but over the years more big name DJs are playing Makina and it’s getting more commercial.”
He added: “After they (Newcastle) beat Southampton, one of my friends said you’ll need to do a rhyme about Wembley and I was in my work van and I just wrote it to a track that I was already working on.”
He concluded: “I got home and explained to the kids that we would do a TikTok video just for a laugh, and it just went from there.”
The Carabao Cup final kicks off at 4.30pm on Sunday.
