NEWCASTLE UNITED players were BANNED from drinking during their Carabao Cup celebrations last weekend.

The Magpies were the picture of happiness as they took an open-top bus around the city.

But it was a sober one for the players as Howe didn't want them nursing prolonged hangovers for their clash with Brentford tomorrow.

Toon legend Alan Shearer revealed on the Rest is Football podcast: “They’ve got Brentford on Wednesday and they trained yesterday.

“They’re training today, they’re training Monday, they’re training Tuesday, and they’re training Wednesday morning as well.

“Because Eddie had taken them to Dubai and he said, ‘No, that’s your party.'

“And they weren’t allowed to drink yesterday or last evening.

“None of them went to the afterparty. He got them back straight in and focused.”;

Newcastle‘s capturing of the Carabao Cup ended their 70-year wait for a domestic trophy.

Alan Jr said: “Yeah, unfortunately, my dad passed away last May.

“But he would have been watching on and would’ve been as proud as I was.”
