Feels like I've started dating Rachel Riley and just know, deep down it's only a matter of time before she realises what she's got and fucks off for someone else.... Gonna enjoy it while it lasts tho!

least there is the international break coming up.....

FFS! Souness was right in his pre-match on Sunday (fuck, I hate saying that)..... two or three bad matches and the sky falls in. What was Rafa saying in his talk-in at Shearers? Will be tough times but when they happen we need to stay united. Genuinely wondering....are other fans of other clubs like this or just us cos of the soap opera bullshit that normally goes on with us?

Sitting in amongst the home fans. Our away fans are a fucking joy to witness!

RIP little fella. Thoughts and prayers with his family.

Mine neither.....cancelled order and bought it from touchingdistance.com website. On it's way to me in 24hrs! Cannae wait to get stuck in to it. Thought Tunnel of Love was brilliant.

If true this is heart breaking. Thoughts and prayers with his family and friends.

Well done Huddersfield! Northern club. Brilliant story etc. Think they'll get relegated next season though.

So fucking glad we are not involved in play offs!!

Just to echo what everyone else is saying. This is absolutely brilliant news!! On cloud 9. Thought these "talks" would drag on in to next week at least. Don't care how much the number is. As long as Rafa's happy I'm on board! Genuinely excited to see what kind of team he puts together over the summer.

This man's a super-grade fucking prick! Apparently wants to take charge of a club who will be challenging for trophies. Yeah, that will be fucking right!! If he took over at Real he'd have them relegated in one season. I think all managers have an ego but you can just tell he'd want to win a trophy just so a club builds a statue of him unlike our Rafa who is all about the club first.

Spent a lot of last night going through this thread. Still get dizzy when reading about him being confirmed in the job. Saw this on a page with an extract from a rag which sent a chill down my spine: "Newcastle had also sounded out former Manchester United boss David Moyes in the wake of Saturday's 3-1 home defeat to Bournmouth, but the Scotsman is believed to have been much more reluctant to take over a side that have claimed just six league victories all season." Fuck!! Imagine if that happened?

The Leicester game is tattooed on my memory. What a day! And I was just watching it on the idiot box as well!!! Amazing how music can bring up memories (and vice versa I suppose). That match on the season review video and the song that was played over it (Little Angels - Too Much Too Young) go together in my head like Keegan and Terry Mac. Ps. got to agree.... classic strip!!!

I see the Chron are doing a 24 page pull-out of the season tomorrow. Does anyone know if a copy of the paper can be purchased online?

Usually around lunchtime tomorrow Really can't wait to see the full game Thanks. Me too. going to be a quiet afternoon in the office for me.

That show is proper shite. Can't believe I avoided all the social media stuff today thinking they would should a lot of it during tonight's programme. WTF was I thinking?! When is the game gonna be available on the co.uk website?

tear'd up watching that..... I know this is all about what Rafa and these group of lads have done but just want to say a massive FUCK YOU to sky sports and all the other kunts who were looking for every reason to knock us. WE ARE CHAMPIONS! WE ARE CHAMPIONS!!!!!

Quality!!! Also many congrats.

just imagine the scum are saved once again by our fuck ups. Highly unlikely but......

From Wikipedia regarding Swindon Town in 1990: Although they won the promotion play-offs, Swindon Town did not compete in the First Division during the following season. The 1989–90 season had seen the club charged with 36 breaches of Football League regulations[2] – 35 of which related to illegal payments made to players between 1985 and 1989. A hearing to decide the club's fate was scheduled for 4 May – before the play-offs began – but this was postponed on legal advice just days before it was due when Swindon chairman Brian Hillier, club accountant Vince Farrar and former team manager Lou Macari were all charged by police for "intent to defraud Inland Revenue by making payments without deducting tax or NI". (In July 1992 both Hillier and Farrar were found guilty of these charges, while Macari was cleared). Hillier and Macari had already been punished by the FA in February 1990 for their involvement in a £6,500 bet being placed on Swindon losing to Newcastle United in a tie during the 1987–88 FA Cup. The bet was successful and netted £4,000 winnings. As this activity ran counter to FA rules that forbid any bets by club officials or players on their own team, both were found guilty. Hillier was given a six-month suspension from football, but after he (unsuccessfully) appealed, the FA increased it to three years. Macari was fined £1,000 (upheld after his own appeal), and Swindon Town given a £7,500 fine. At a Football League hearing on 7 June, Swindon pleaded guilty to all 36 charges against them and admitted a further twenty. The league decreed that the club would be denied promotion and instead demoted to the Third Division. Six days later, it was announced that losing play-off finalists Sunderland would be instead promoted to the First Division. This was controversial as Newcastle felt that as they had finished third, three places above bitter rivals Sunderland, they should have been promoted instead. The FA's decision stood and Sunderland were promoted. Swindon launched a High Court appeal against the Football League's double demotion, claiming it to be "harsh, oppressive and disproportionate to previous penalties". However, within days they dropped this action and instead appealed directly to the FA. On 2 July an FA Appeal Panel reduced the punishment to the club simply remaining in the Second Division; Tranmere Rovers – the losing play-off finalists in the Third Division – who were to have replaced Swindon in the second level were therefore denied promotion. My arse is officially in 'twitch' mode.

Brilliant!!!

Just seen this on the Chron. What a guy!! Chris Hughton text Chris, we love you. Texted Chris Hughton to congratulate him. He praised his players (nothing about himself) & added "now waiting for Newcastle". What a man. — George Caulkin (@CaulkinTheTimes) April 19, 2017

Just bought tickets so heading down for this match. Hope it's a night to remember for all the right reasons. Hope to God Clark is fit again. Think his return is more important to us for this match than Gayle's.
