Blackburn away would be a belter

Blackburn beat West Ham.

Yes. Will be our first competitive game for 4 weeks or so.

Tomorrow night, according to Radio Newcastle.

Pope saves! We are through! Thank christ!

I tell you man - this club is cursed when it comes to the league cup!

Bruno up next - to possibly win the tie...... over the bar.

Pope saves!

Botman up now....... Saved.

Willock on for Shelvey. Gonna to to pens, this.

Milburn L7 at that time. Horrendous night.

Botman coming on.... and Trippier.

Think it will go to pens, tonight and we all know our record with them......

Is it not a bit pish?

What's Bernard's end game here, with Durham? Seems utterly bizarre.

Really disappointing to see that there are still folk out there who when going to the match, look for bother. Just why? Too much drink or charlie?

Terrific today and a lovely run and finish for his goal.

Our midfield general. I thought he ran the show, 2nd half.

Well as my dad said to me - he never saw that coming and to be honest, neither did I. I would have taken a point if offered at kick off. Another superb win and performance. I'm enjoying the ride at the moment!

Players been taken off - apparently some bother in one of the stands..... (Talkshite) EDIT - players back out and on. Was a medical emergency.

Toney does seem to come with a bit of a rep - not the first time he's courted trouble.

Went to North Shields v Ossett United yesterday (was working) How it didn't end up 4-4 or 5-5, I'll never know. In the end, it finished 1-1 - Ossett went ahead in the 90th minute, only for Shield's keeper (and MoM) to equalise from a corner in the 6th minute of injury time. First time I've been to a game and seen a keeper score. Blyth had a good and much needed win v Telford, yesterday - 3-0, with 2 goals for Matty Cornish.

I used to play right-midfield and Waddle was my role model.... but! At 6'8, I've never been quick or one for getting stuck in. Could ping a long pass or a cross though! i was never that good, but I loved playing during my Uni days, and was well up for the team craic as well. Good times. :)

I still don't tuck them in now - same with shirts (unless dressed formally), tshirts, etc. Was just something about Waddle doing it, that stuck with me. Indeed, I think he may have done it during WC 90?

Used to tuck your shirt in to your shorts or did you let it hang out? I remember seeing Chris Waddle wearing his shirt not tucked in during his Marseille days (I think), so I always did the same. Did used to roll my football socks up though - I wasn't a total tramp!
