Big Geordie

Villa back in front Digne

VIlla may be on the ropes a bit here. Luton

Good win against a canny Wolves side. Scoreline slightly flattering, but will take it. Lovely run and finish by Tino, for his goal. MoM - Bruno

So, they've just rearranged the deckchairs on the titanic then (with the club being ran by 'new folk'? Me and the lad I look after haven't seen since Sept. He's lost interest a bit, given what's happened. No wonder.

Didn't Man United get 10+ consecutive home draws, in recent years (may have been both cups)?

Kluivert was a real disappointment. A real genuine world-class centre-forward, but I just think he'd fallen out of love with the game by the time he came here.

Was just gonna say this. What a day (Was in the Scoreboard)

Shields lost 2-0 at home to West Allotment, last night. Two home defeats on the spin.

How can you be sure?

Man City is a free hit, I’d much rather we have a go, rather then sit back and watch them steamroller us (as usual)

Does anyone remember when ruud gulllit reckoned they nufc are cursed? Well - it makes you wonder. The 5 cup finals we’ve reached and lost in my lifetime - we’ve played Man United x2, Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City. Cup draws this season have been really bad. Typical Newcastle.

He did. Was a good and under-rated keeper.

Yup - shades of Bramble tonight - we all know that he has a bad rick in him.

Clear MoM tonight. Really pleased for him.

Another good shift tonight and playing in a position that whilst he can play it, it's not his favorite.. AG is only gonna improve, IMO. Got a real player on our hands.

There has to be room in 25man squad, for an understudy (youngish) striker. Us only having Isak and Wilson given their injury record is asking for bother.

The lad hasn't been right since he came back from his inury. Must be sweating on his place, once everyone is fit and available.

Playing when unfit, IMO - due to necessity.

Must admit - I feared the worst when it went to pens (given our pens record), but Dubs pulls us from the clarts, as he did all game. Think him on Gordon will be the only one's to emerge with credit in the bank. Fair play to Blackburn, who pushed us all the way. *relieved*

Blackburn well worth being level. A marginally better second half from us, but still - not good enough. A lack of quality and intensity. Is there a rabbit off somewhere in the squad, given the last few weeks? Smodzics looks a real handful, btw.

It's scrappy at best. Midfield still doesn't look right, but then again - Willock will take time to get match fitness. Good save Dubs.

He also said horrific things about Glenn Roeder, when he was having cancer treatment (or it may have been after) Bloke is a wankpuffin,

Jammy scousers - of course.

Ruled out! Klopp will be going off it.
