The Premier League season is running down with just seven rounds of fixtures left to go.
It has been a slog of a season for Newcastle United fans, but at the same time, it feels like it has gone over really quickly.
The Magpies haven’t been anywhere near their best in the Premier League, instead saving themselves for some impressive cup runs, reaching the semi-final of the Carabao Cup, the fifth round of the FA Cup and the Round of 16 in the Champions League.
However, that’s not to say the lads haven’t made their mark in the Premier League at all, as evidenced by the fact that the Premier League has included two Toon stars in its shortlist for the Team of the Season.
The voting is open on the Premier League website now, where you can pick your formation and select your ultimate XI from this season’s pick of top players.
Representing Newcastle are midfielder and captain Bruno Guimaraes and full-back Lewis Hall.
Bruno has been out of action since February, but has been hugely influential in all that good Newcastle has managed to achieve in the league this season, whereas Lewis Hall has just been beyond exceptional in pretty much every game he’s played in.
The Season’s Best 🙌

For us, Lewis Hall gets into our Team of the Season without even thinking. It’s not just a case of Toon bias, we genuinely don’t think any other left back comes close to him this season when you take everything into account, such as his age, and that he’s been starring in a misfiring team.
We’d obviously put Bruno Guimaraes in our team, too, but that is probably more down to bias. We absolutely adore Bruno, and he has been the puppetmaster for our team so many times this season, but has he done enough to break into the Premier League Team of the Season? That’s entirely subjective.
In our NUFC bubble, though, Bruno and Hall absolutely earn themselves a spot in our team. As for the other nine? Who cares?
