A lot of Newcastle United fans have responded to Jamaal Lascelles’ tweet after the Toon captain made his comeback from injury in Newcastle’s 4-1 win over Rochdale in the FA Cup.
Lascelles tweeted after the match and claimed that it was great to be back and that he was buzzing the team were through to the next round.
Can you see Lascelles staying at Newcastle for another 150 appearances?
Yes, if they don't get relegated why would he leave
No, he will get snapped up by someone else
The 26-year-old also made his 150th appearance for Newcastle, and these Magpies fans were delighted to see Lascelles back from injury.

What do we think?
Lascelles started the match as Newcastle raced into a three-goal lead, and he did what little he had to do with minimum fuss before he was withdrawn in the 56th minute to be replaced by Tom Allan, who made his first-team debut.
The former Nottingham Forest man got some vital minutes, and he should be ready to start against Chelsea on Saturday.
The Toon will look to build on the professional performance that sealed their place in the next round of the FA Cup, where they will face Oxford United at home.
Since Lascelles joined Newcastle in 2014, he has gone from a reserve player to the captain and it is clear that many Toon fans want him to stay on Tyneside for at least another 150 appearances.
