But the fans seem alright with that.If you are an avid fan of a club who is not doing so well – ‘Always look on the bright side of life’ – is the song you should stick to. And one of the Magpies’ supporters took such an approach to the next level.Sun, 17.00: (1.75) SOUTHAMPTON (3.70) NEWCASTLE (5.40) During Monday’s game against Manchester United – Luke Ryan pulled quite a prank on his fellow spectators.The 32-year-old from Durham took a normal TV remote to St James’ Park and to his delight, the remote worked on the TVs dotted around the stadium.

It’s been crazy.”, he said.”I’ve always been a bit of a prankster and I’ve obviously been to games before. I took the controller with me to see if it would work. It’s just a standard LG TV remote.”I took it just to chance it, I’d never seen it done before. I just wanted to be a bit of a clown but I never expected it to go as big as it has. The response has been outrageous.”Ryan chose the funniest reactions to his antics to put in the video, but there are many more that didn’t make it online.Newcastle United want to loan their former player from PSGDespite that, he managed to remain unseen throughout the prank.”My favourite one is the guy by himself who was so into it and his reaction was priceless”, he added.”They were the best ones, there is more but I was doing a reel so I picked the ones that were short and sweet.”Nobody noticed – the secret was safe, but not so much now! I think I could have still been doing it now and nobody would have noticed.”If only Newcastle managed to retain their lead against the Red Devils – the delight for Ryan would have been even greater.
