A lot of Newcastle United fans loved what Jake Humphrey did during his interview with Mauricio Pochettino.
Sky Sports claimed that the Argentine was Newcastle’s top choice to be the manager of the club if their proposed takeover by Amanda Staveley’s Saudi-backed consortium goes through.
Humphrey interviewed Pochettino on the condition that he only talked about the Champions League last season.
However, right at the end of the interview, the BT Sport man told the former Tottenham Hotspur boss to sit back and open a few cans – which sparked a big reaction from many Newcastle fans.
Did you like this touch from Humphrey?
Yes, I enjoyed it
No, didn't make much sense

What do we think?
The conversation about #cans has been a common one as the takeover saga has rumbled on for Newcastle fans, so for Humphrey to squeeze that into his interview pleased many supporters.
George Caulkin beautifully summed up what #cans means to Newcastle fans as they wait to hear what is happening with the proposed takeover.
The former Spurs manager told BT Sport (via NUFC Gallowgate) that he was excited about his next project – could that be Newcastle if the takeover happens?
We will just have to wait and see.
