Newcastle United have been starved of success with 61 years since their last major trophy, so it's understandable fans are excited after reaching the EFL Cup quarter-finals.

Rafael Benitez has the Magpies flying high in the Championship and are now eyeing up Hull for a semi-final berth in the cup.

This has led one blundering fan to believe it is not only a formality they dispatch the Tigers, but that they go all the way, with a tattoo that reads "NUFC EFL Cup winners 2016" on his backside.

Even if this Toon supporter believes his team can cast aside teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal or Liverpool in the semi-final and final, he has somehow managed to get his years mixed up.

The final will take place in February 2017, NOT 2016, as it so neatly suggests on his rear end.

Manchester City were in fact the winner of the League Cup in 2016, defeating Liverpool in a penalty shoot-out last season.
