Monday was exactly one year since Newcastle United broke their trophy drought and brought home their first piece of silverware in about seven decades.
I sort of can't believe it is already a year. So much of football is looking forward to the next game, or thinking about league position, or the summer window. It's quite nice to sit and reflect on what a magical weekend that was for Newcastle.
But I've done my reflecting now and we've got Sunderland this weekend and we have to beat them.
We played them in December and it did not go well. Things have been on the up with Newcastle's results and performances more recently and we absolutely have to capitalise on that on Sunday. Never mind that, we've got to play Barcelona away before then.
How can we do it? Increasingly it looks like the answer comes in the form of Lewis Hall. Since coming back into the side, Hall has shown us exactly why a lot of people call him England's best left back. He offers Newcastle United so much on that flank.
He remains calm under pressure from opposition and can pick out a pass even when being crowded out by two or three players.
He was easily our best player against Barcelona last Tuesday, and but for a heartbreaking, last-minute penalty we would have won that game. Harvey Barnes got the player of the match nod but it was Hall holding it together at the back that made the difference for me.
Couple that with Jacob Ramsey's ability to carry the ball in midfield and I think we have plenty to be positive about this coming week.
We absolutely must right what went wrong in December, and I think we can. The players know what it means to us, just as they knew a year ago.
