These Yanks in toon or in the big smerk?

We have Pulp too but they were a class band in the 90s. Besides, it's our language, so by design 'y'all' have to follow our lead.

That's why he's not at a big club.

The catalan Sunderland are playing well.

Couldn't have asked for a better opponent for them tonight. Getting the run around and also sapping their belief.

Forest playing like?

"I wouldn't wish an injury on anyone"...... fuuuuuuuck that. Rashford hammy please ? Failing that, anyone from their first 11 getting injured would do. Need whatever edge we can get. I suspect Barca will get beat but a Man U humiliation would be great.

I'm intrigued as to how this all works. Claims its legit but also has club wembley asking him where he got it.

Was unclear when booking whether we just couldn't reserve seats or there weren't seats to book. Not a massive train goer but there's surely a limit per train/carriage anyway.

Think that's the same for me and I've got the bairn. Not on the 10.59 are you? I'm taking some beers, and hoping I can find a floor somewhere. Nothing will get me down.

Sounds a fairly perfect opportunity for us. Loan him for a season from PSG, adds another quality attacking player with potential to the ranks and gives us a chance to have a look at his attitude etc. We are going to need more depth.

I knew that when we had European nights we used to sing "sitting at home watching the bill" but I didn't realise it was fucking Bill Oddie. Silly cunt must have thought it was a magpie or his sister.

Not sure about the scarves for Wembley. Anyone else find having and looking after a scarf a pain and the arse. especially when you are taking the tube in etc. Everyone should wear black and white mind. Will look belta.

I'd play Wilson and Maxi, leaves us Willock and Isak on the bench.

I'm not so sure the truth in this. After all, our form has seemingly slumped since only having 1 game a week. There's something to be said about the flow of having regular matches, provided you have the squad to cope. I actually think it doesn't suit us whatsoever to have a full week's training between games. Our squad would probably benefit from a mini fixture pile up. Man United are riding the crest of a wave. If they beat Barca on Thursday, nothing will have changed.

Fair point. The truth is I REALLY want us to win the final but even more than that I REALLY want nothing to rock the boat in terms of our progression. Perhaps I'm overstating the influence our fans have on the players, to make the wider point about some not being able to see the bigger picture after a tough 90 minutes.

Far from being worried about the game itself, I'm more worried about our fans reaction should we lose. If some were prepared to throw their toys out of the pram because we lost against current champions league finalists, what are they going to be like in a cup final? IF we lose, I hope our fans stay and applaud our boys off the pitch and thank them for getting us to the first final in 20 years, rather than to social media to bitch and moan.

Come on you ammers.

As soon as this cup final and couple of tough fixtures are out the way, we will see a different Newcastle. We can press the reset button, get players back and start our recovery. It will get worse before it gets better but it will get better results wise.

He's back this week.

The more I think about it, the more I'm tempted to play Joelinton out wide and bring Willock back in. We are just more solid like that. Leaves us Maxi and Isak from the bench too.

Of course it isn't. VAR isn't used when yous lot play, they just ask Bruno Fernandes.

Haven't been looking in this thread by does Froggy think it was a red for sabitzer? bet he doesn't.

Don't misread me. I prefer Eddie but really like Emery too.

Playing on the counter might not be the worst strategy for us. Suits Maxi, suits Isak and prevents them countering us. We aren't in a position to go toe to toe with them but also don't under estimate Brunos impact on our side.
