Lot of new members tonight - coincidence?

Crafty Wank?

We got the shot at playing in the CL - in the most difficult group - well, now comes the pay off. It's been an immense effort so far this season, bar the dodgy away form. Injuries and lack of options is costing us right now - it's inevitable.

I'd suggest the lad isn't fully fit and is having to play out of necessity.

Bad night at the office, but to be expected as they all look knackered. Got no other choice other than to battle through as best we can.

We look tired, which is to be expected. Fortunate to be level at HT.

Team news as expcected

Those are the results that you need to get, to win the PL.

Seems really harsh, IMO. Mowbray was doing a reasonable job, with limited resources. They wouldn't even let the bloke sign a centre-forward, FFS! I reckon the catalyst has been the FA Cup draw.

Man United will never return to their former glories, until the Glazers sell up altogether. A fish rots from the head down - we at Newcastle know that better than anyone (the Ashley years)

Canny game that Citeh hugely complacent. Spurs can be got at, with a high press.

There's nothing like a derby day and for it to be a cup game, gives it a bit extra. Last time we pulled them in any cup was I think 78-79 (League Cup) - was only 5 then, so it will be a new experience for me as it will many others. Build up to this one will be incredible - just sit back and enjoy the ride until derby day! Eddie will have to go at this one full tilt - no resting players, etc.

Helluva draw for both clubs Northumbria Police currently collectively shitting their pants.
