Big Geordie

All to do with paying off the rebuilding of the ground.

FA Cup replays have always been part of the experience. It's because the competition has been allowed to become devalued over the last couple of decades - semi-finals at Wembley, getting rid of replays in later rounds, etc.

Takeover of blyth Spartans has gone through today. Poor timing with such a big game tomorrow, IMO.

Awful decision. What's next - guaranteed home draws for the Big 6 clubs, for every round up to the semi-final?

Lets hope that if they gain promotion, they don't purposely shoot themselves in the foot - as North Shields did.

Fair play to Real for digging in and showing some grit. Pep isn't 'all that'

Man Citeh been pish. No real spark- expected a lot more.

Worth a minute of your time;

Thank you.

Arsenal 0 Villa 2 Watkins!

Arsenal 0 Villa 1 Bailey

Ditto. Next time, WM.

5Live the same.

Loads of scousers leaving (5Live)

Added on time...... 7mins

Agreed.

Keown was actually a really good DC, IMO.

That was us - me (tall lad with blue adidas hoodie on) and P (red coat) Got soaked sitting at front, hence shifting. Was there a lady with you?

Benny Kristiensen on there? As for the match - watched at work. We thoroughly enjoyed it - P was buzzing for ages, as we sang and hugged when the goals went in. Newcastle were terrific and executed their gameplan to perfection. Anthony Gordon and Isak were world class yesterday - just tore through Spurs at will. Always class to send the cockney bastards back down south with their tail between their legs, after a pasting!

What was the sending off for WM? We were just taking our seats when that happened. Had to shift when it starred pissing down and ended up leaving 10mins before the end (I was soaked pretty much!) Heaton Stan's setup seems to be everything that Shields isn't. Shame on the latter. Will be back - if can get parked a bit nearer. Is it possible to get parked inside the ground or is that for players/officials only? Lad I look after isn't great on his legs and struggles to walk medium distances without stopping a few times for a breather (he's 64)

Nor gonna be a pen this

Bournemouth getting bugger all of this referee.

Dodgy pen for the mancs - of course 2-2

Shields ended up losing 4-2 Blyth battered 5-1 at scunthorpe

Heaton Stan 2 North Shields 2 af HT Good game - affected by wind. Stan down to 10men early on. Am impressed by ground and set up. Sat in the stand,
