Again, thanks AC Milan.

Wouldn't begrudge anyone celebrating how they want to, especially as a non-local, but mackems couldn't be further from my mind until I saw this bumped. Far more interested in RAWK. I made the admittedly unforgivable mistake of posting on Bluesky after we lost against Liverpool that I was somewhat encouraged despite the defeat and that Liverpool could be 'got at'. Some undeniable RAWK jobsworth, clearly patrolling social media for imagined slights and posts that didn't appropriately lionise Liverpool, piped up. He thought I was accusing Liverpool of only winning the league because poor quality competition this year... Because I said they could be "got at". More fool me for going on social media, but still.

The final was immediately different to the last three. Even before the first goal, just before half time, we turned up. Just amazing.

Tino was the tonesetter like Kam Chancellor vs the Denver Broncos in Superbowl XLVIII

Mbappe-less PSG and NUFC

Then Tonali flashes on screen and makes me feel like shit for forgetting him.

There's no team I wanted to beat more. This is too sweet.

Tino and Burn joint MoTM IMO.

I don't believe it.

NO FUCKING WAY

YOOOOOOO ADRRRIIIIAANAN WE DID IT

He flashes enough capability to be a C, but his durability in playing 38 games+ means he can't be higher than a D.

Low D.

Be quite pleased to watch Mbappe's face if PSG beat Real Madrid tbh.

I haven't seen it but can I guess? He cut in and scored with his left?

Thought Willock looked a bit lively, but everyone looked quite jittery.

The team doesn't look confident with the ball at all. Maybe the win will deceive them though

Why is he ahead of Osula man. Honestly don't know what he offers. Maybe it's fitness, but he is where he is. Let Osula back up Isak.

Agreed, pressure cooker of shitness is responsible.

Pap first half apart from Isak, really. Howe setting the team up to rely on Burn and Schar playing throughballs from 60-70 yards out, instead of on the deck and using our midfield, because he's scared of Brighton in transition or some shit.

A for Tonali.

B- for Joelinton IMO. Imperative for how Newcastle are set up for specific games, although the emergence of Tonali this year has made him less indispensable.

Villa away at Bournemouth would be good.

Letting Doherty take the fifth pen because he's captain. Oof.

D I reckon.
