Toon Army Chicago

We're here to unite all the Newcastle United fans in the Chicagoland area. We came to be where many great ideas spawn from: the pub.

Three Newcastle fans met by chance at The Globe toward the end of the 2013/2014 season. After realizing there is no organization for Newcastle fans, the choice to unite all Newcastle fans was made. Today, our aim is to keep Newcastle fans in Chicagoland and all over a chance to discuss their love of the Club, memories of watching the Toon, or who should be the next one to get the sack. We are a su

pporters' group founded by fans of Newcastle United Football Club with no official relation to the Club.

The result may have been less than stellar, but your turnout was phenomenal! Thank you all to join us on the last day of the season and Mrs. Murphy & Sons Irish Bistro for being an amazing host!

There are some big things coming around the corner for next season, including MORE chances to take a group trip to St. James' Park!

Stay TOONED to our socials for more details as they become available.

🚨 LAST GAME OF THE SEASON 🚨

The Mags head to London this Sunday to take on Fulham, while Toon Army Chicago heads to Mrs Murphy’s for one final emotional rollercoaster before summer's silly season and the World Cup officially ruin our weekends.

🖤🤍 Doors open: 9AM
⚽ Kickoff: 10AM
📍 Mrs. Murphy & Sons Irish Bistro

As we wave goodbye to Trippier, send Big Dan Burn and the lads off to the World Cup, and emotionally prepare ourselves for 3 months of transfer rumours, “exclusive” ITK nonsense, new stadium debates, and finding out which city gets the honour of welcoming top sh***er Trippier next…

…we’re doing it the only way Chicago knows how:

🍺 Guinness flowing
🎟️ End-of-season raffle prizes
👕 Including a long sleeve NUFC shirt + Guinness goodies from Guinness and Toon Army Chicago

Will Spurs or West Ham survive the final day? Come find out with us.

Get down early, grab a pint, hug your fellow Geordies, and let’s send the season off properly before we all become part-time football finance experts until August.

HOWAY THE LADS

⚒️ Sunday morning Toon Army Chicago… it’s time to potentially be the hammer to the final nail in West Ham’s coffin. ⚰️

Can ex-NUFC striker Callum Wilson save his team, or will Bruno and the Mags send the cockneys home crying into their bubbles?

Join us in one of TWO locations as Eddie Howe's Mags push the Hammers one step closer to the Championship!
Chicago: Mrs. Murphy & Sons Irish Bistro
Suburbs: Riverlands Brewing Company in St. Charles.

⚫️⚪️ Expect goals, chaos, chants and questionable decisions before noon.

Come for the football.
Stay for the inevitable “Forever Blowing Bubbles” funeral service. 🫧⚰️

🚨 This weekend the mighty Mags face Brighton Hove Albion, a club entirely powered by seagulls, stolen chips, and unjustified confidence.

Meanwhile, reports claim Eddie Howe is under pressure. Sources say the pressure is coming from 37 adopted Geordies in Chicago asking why we haven’t scored from a corner since 2004.

Join us at Mrs. Murphy & Sons Irish Bistro where the pints flow, the Malört burns, and every Newcastle fan becomes a tactical expert after two drinks.

Expect:
🍺 Wild optimism before kickoff
😡 Outrage by the 12th minute
🖤🤍 Blind faith by halftime
🥃 Malört-fueled delusion by full time

Come suffer beautifully with us.
Howay the Lads.

The wait is over… the Toon are BACK. ⚫⚪

🚨 DERBY DAY. NO EXCUSES. 🚨

Tomorrow morning we don’t just wake up early… we wake up for the Tyne-Wear Derby.

For the first time in a decade, Newcastle host the Mackems at St. James’ Park — and you already know what that means. Nerves. Noise. Chaos. Absolute scenes.

We’re meeting at our home pub Mrs. Murphy & Sons Irish Bistro, with doors opening at 6:30AM ahead of the 7AM kick-off. Get there early, get loud, and get ready to remind Sunderland exactly who runs the North East.

And yes… if the match tension doesn’t wake you up, the Malört that Nick Woltemade is holding definitely will. One sip of that and you’ll be seeing goals before they even happen 🤢🔥

This is derby day. This is bragging rights. This is EVERYTHING.

⚫⚪ HOWAY THE LADS ⚫⚪
