ONE HUNDRED AND EDDIE

EDDIE HOWE wants Newcastle to hit the bullseye against rivals Arsenal after his players had a night out at the darts.

Luke Littler and Co entertained the Geordies on Thursday evening when Premier League Darts arrived in Toon.

United stars including Dan Burn, Harvey Barnes, Sean Longstaff, Elliot Anderson, Paul Dummett, Matt Targett and Mark Gillespie all cheered on Littler, supping only water, and saw him narrowly defeated by Michael van Gerwen.

Newcastle can make it a double top against Arsenal tonight after their win at St James' Park earlier in the season.

Boss Howe said: "I wasn't aware of the trip to the darts! I need a list of names, please. I hope it wasn't a late night. Maybe they should have been in fancy dress!"
