Newcastle United's Fancy Dress Christmas Party (PICTURES)

The Best Line-Up Since The Usual Suspects: Newcastle's Fancy Dress Christmas Party (PICTURES)
The Huffington Post UK

Last year, Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew cancelled the Christmas party due to their poor form, but at the weekend the Toon hit the town.

And it was richly deserved following their 1-0 win at Manchester United - the Magpies' first success at Old Trafford in 41 years.

Yohan Cabaye's goal clinched a fifth win in six games for Newcastle in what was a superb response to their 3-0 thumping at Swansea three days earlier.
