Really chuffed for him, he was without a club few months ago and I think this gets his career back on track at least as a back up. Must’ve been nervous as fuck walking to the pitch today.

Most set piece goals are lucky, it’s just the way it is.

Thanks for reminding me Casemiro has more class than Dan Burn ffs.

They were luckier, they scored a set piece goal and a deflection that was going wide. Not like they were creating loads all game either. Those two lucky goals come for us and we are winning that game. Fair play to Man Utd for how well they closed the game out though, Ten Hag has made them really solid.

Of course they are beatable, never said that.

Hard to see either team having a big psychological edge but if there's one it favours Man United. EtH is under no pressure to win this and it wouldn't mean anywhere near as much to anyone associated with them compared to us. They are also way ahead of their projected timetable and no one would criticise EtH if he fails to win a trophy in his first season in the country. Every NUFC player knows how much this means to the fans and I really hope the players can handle the pressure but I have some concerns.

It's really not that big a deal. We've been wasting time few times but many teams have been wasting time against us especially at SJP which lowers our number.

@Kaizero Which days is your Airbnb booked for?

I'm a mess right now. Flights seem reasonable, accommodation is reasonable and FOMO is through the roof. Thinking about Saturday-Wednesday flights but would love to know if I have a spot somewhere to watch it before booking everything.

Been too busy to follow this thread but is there any big screen option in Newcastle? I'm very close to booking flights from Finland for the weekend but would like an insurance plan if the N-O meet up bar is full already.

I'm in for a pub if there's still room! And if I book the flights I have reserved now.

Time wasting cunt.

Nobody complains if that's given as a red.

Sometimes I wonder why footballers try to head the ball when it's literally there on the grass. Use your fucking foot, it's in the name of the game. Feel sorry for him but he really fucked up.

Don't think so, we should have conceded more for most of the season but also should have scored more which evens it out.

I really think it should be a minutes silence when a young person like him dies unexpectedly and young kids (who were there!) are left without a father. Leave the appreciative applause to people dying because of old age. RIP

And back to selling him in the summer if we lose the final.

Just screams of look at us, look at us. No fucking need to make a minutes silence all about them.

Bedwetters about the final can fuck off too, this ended up being a decent preparation in the end and Karius will have nothing to do in the final. Getting Bruno back will change us and ASM is hitting form at the right time. Man United are decent but there’s absolutely no reason why we can’t beat them in one game on a neutral ground.

It’s still shite IMO.

We were desperately short at wings too tbh. Letting Shelvey go was probably a mistake but I can’t blame them.

I miss the arguments with Ronaldo, go back decades. Dude still can’t admit of ever being wrong though.

Obviously we are light compared to top six but not really at striker. Gordon and ASM are just as capable of playing up front that the players you are refusing to list. The title contenders have Ekitike and Alvarez as second choices who are hardly more experienced than Isak and I have no idea who their third strikers even are.

Wilson has to score there. Nice run and ball from Gordon.
