Thanks for the kind words but the bulk of this team will be broken apart long before it ever gets close to winning anything.

Absolutely unreal atmosphere at times tonight. The Gallowgate was bouncing. I was shaking at times it was that intense. With a full strength team out I think we beat these over two legs. Fair play to them though. Props to Williamson for a solid performance too.

I thought they had the 'most fans in the world' or something along those lines? Terrible showing on their part.

So how many fans are they bringing? 1500? 10000? 1500 will be a poor show for such a big club.

When the players came out he ran up to the Gallowgate and held his hands up in an apologetic way to the crowd. Nice lad, hope he gets better soon.

Cant say confidently that we will win this one. Think we will see the usual laboured performance and it will come down to one goal either way. Luck may play a big part.

Seems like some of our lot got a bashing off their coppers?

Forgot to get my ticket for the home leg; went online to buy my season ticket seat in the Gallowgate only to find that there are only Level 7 tickets left!! Should be bouncing!

If we are really on our game and want it; we can beat these at SJP. No question.

And the first 15 minutes. Aye. Needs to fucking sort it tbh. Hes a nasty little get at times.

Cabaye has got to stop with these daft fouls. Nearly got suspended in the last 15 seconds of the game. Idiotic.

Someone should do it! Are you in Lisbon? I'm waiting for your apologizes for being rude. You ain't not getting no apologies Jotty boy not in here, its match day man and we are not just gonna roll over and let you with your team of sexy, foreign sounding names tickle our bellies, oh no! We are gonna have fight in our heart, batshit crazy eyes, hazardous levels of beer in our guts and a many a lungful of songs with which to take you on. Well that's our fans anyway, the team is an entirely different matter.

Howay the lads! Let's absolutely skull fuck these nonces, the Portuguese Man U....and who likes Man U right? Nee fucker that's who; come onnn, let's dick em!

So do you think that Newcastle in best form is a better team than Benfica in the best form ? And we have our 3rd best player injuried, salvio. Honestly?, whos to say? From what I can gather, Benfica are capable of beating anyone on their day. So too are we. We could beat you, you could beat us. It's all good.

"you will field more or less your strongest team" Are you on drugs ? Yes but thats another story! Just going off what one of them said earlier, "Only so and so missing" but in truth I have no idea. Just another bunch of Johnny Foreigners to me like wor kid.

Last year we made dead the European Champions away from home 2-0; we also buried the Manchester United 3-0, we finished 5th man. This season we have clobbered the European Champions AGAIN 3-2 we are spine-tingling....... Give ower man Benfica fans. Honestly, who knows where you'd finish; you'd certainly get beat off more than one of these 'poor' sides you keep patronising like Swansea, West Brom etc...... who really gives a shit? As for the game, fairs fair, you will most likely dick us given the fact that you will field more or less your strongest team and we will field far from ours (amongst other things .....) but thats life.

Just wish we were able to field our strongest 11 for this.

As is the case with Newcastle, we put in a shite, limp, no effort performance in the game prior to save ourselves for the 'big' game and we invarably put in a similar shite performance in said 'big' game. Hope I am wrong.

But why though? Not getting at you but why is NUFC playing away at a Man City team who haven't really hit the heights that often this season a predictable arse raping? Wonder what other teams were thinking when they headed here to play. Why is it always us that play right in to the script for the opposing team (e.g. wigan's revival fightback last time etc.)? Mostly the same I would have thought given they have better players than most and they have only lost once at home in 2 seasons. Because weve seen it time and time again with NUFC. An injury list as long as your arm, a big week coming up, playing away at a top 4 team who are welcoming back 3 of their best players, who in their right mind would expect anything other than a nothing performance? A meek surrender? Sadly, that has always been the mentality of this football club; well at least for the twenty odd years Ive been following it.

Most predictable arse raping in a long time.

As much as I like those I just can't bring myself to buy one without 'Umbro' and 'Adidas' on etc. Just doesn't look right.

Above us. Would they finish above where we finished last season? Will we finish above where we finished last season? No but I'm just trying to establish how good they are.

Still remember the buzz I got the day he signed, it lasted for about 4 days afterwards. I was sitting there staring at a computer screen in a job I hated day after day with a massive smile on my face. We had just signed Michael fucking Owen, man, England striker from Real Mafuckingdrid. 20 thousand fans turned up to welcome him. 20 fucking thousand!!. Absolutely loved him in the early days for us, some really memorable moments; will never forget his header against the Mackems and the subsequent roar of the crowd. Contrast that with the feeling of absolute devastation when he got injured at the 2006 world cup which ruined not only the world cup for me but my entire summer. Now, I hate the little bastard, for obvious reasons. Hope his horses bolt the stables and blow the lid on an animal sex ring he presides over. That sadly is not likely.

Above us. Would they finish above where we finished last season?

Will get injured tbh. Nah seriously well done.
