Posers: Don't be fooled by their boy-band charms. Members of the first-team squad assemble for the cameras at London Colney. Stuart says: "I hadn't got a picture for the whole training session so I just decided to follow them to the back of the building where they take off their boots before the changing room. A few of them starting posing a little bit and the more I pointed the camera at them, the more of them joined in. It is a little bit of a boy-band shot but it also shows the team spirit. I think that was actually taken just prior to the Tottenham game."

Vermaelen celebrates Newcastle winner: The Belgian wheels away after prodding home in injury time to claim three vital points against Alan Pardew's side at Emirates Stadium. Stuart says: "It was a game which was going to 1-1 and everybody was getting really nervous. The goal was great and the celebration fantastic but my favourite bit of the picture is Bacary Sagna just smashing the ball in the background. It has a whole load of emotions in it - a Newcastle player on the ground in the background too for example. It was just a great moment from the season."
