I'd still be happy if we finished 5th. My expectations have raised since the beginning of the season, but not to the point I wouldn't see CL spot as a big bonus, rather than requirement. It would be incredible if we managed it and hung on, but 5th would still be a great achievement - and I'd be very happy in the Europa League. Below 5th and we've either let Liverpool or Chelsea catch us after terrible runs, or someone like Brighton - so that'd feel a bit of a disappointment now.

Does he not know there's VAR man? ffs Better chance of a penalty if he just stays on his feet

That's rattled me. Not used to conceding, or the idea that we can.

I miss BOBBY'S ROBSON'S BLACK N WHITE ARMY (we hate sunlun) Not the cleverest and maybe give's them too much attention. But was a good simple one to single for a while.

That's why you click the link It's the same song ""Wor Geordie's lost his penka" (or ... his liggie) "

Obviously I don't think Eddie/the club/the lads should have the same attitude as me.

Finding it hard to give a massive shit about this. Obviously I want to win. But everything in life pales in comparison to the cup final at the moment.

Sounds like the 'Man U neutral ' section is going to have plenty of Newcastle fans in. I'm not sure where I'll be. When I bought my Club Wembley ticket you couldn't choose which end. (tho when they started doing that I e-mailed them and they said they'd note my request and try but not guarantee)

Broadly agree that our repertoire is pretty shit and lacking in creativity but EIEIEIO is fucking class in the good times. Surprisingly under-utilized by other fans too. (Was shit at Arsenal where we were singing Bruno in the middle while they sang their version)

Apparently it's an old folk song, rather than written by Geordie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wor_Geordie's_lost_his_penka

I'm not clicking on The Sun to read that, but you've got to let the Everton fans laugh this up if true.

Was racking my brain for a minute there thinking I'd somehow missed that Sean Dyche won La Liga. (As a player maybe?)

Do they still play the Jarrow Song at SJP? (I didn't know it was called the Jarrow Song til just now)

Not remember it?! I remember just about every word, a fucking classic and one of the last official FA Cup songs. The guy sang (mimed) it at the last home game - and they played it at Wembley before the match (I believe along with Arsenal's cup song too).

Unofficial 99 FA Cup final song

Official 98 final song(Says Sting - it was written by Sting, but obviously not performed by him) I bought this in HMV in Leicester Square the night on day we'd lost the final. Staff member was pissing himself, called people over to join in. I was 8.

I'm sure some tried to say it was a 'micky mouse' cup, but I was absolutely shitting it when they went 1-0. Would've been a nightmare - cos it's a proper cup (unlike the papa john's). Remember 'tell me ma me ma' well from our late 90s cup runs

Haha I'd forgotten that. Weird seeing Jenas and Kluivert in that kit too.

What's this Babayaro reference?

Feel like a little kid here, proper counting down the days, can’t concentrate - just keep thinking about it.

Longstaff or Burn for what'd mean to them - then either Big Joe, Trippier, Miggy, or Bruno. But love our team, could make a case for any of them. Murphy off the bench - imagine his grin.

I thought De Gea had been shit for years now, a glaring weak link. Not saying I'm right - shows how little you know just catching bits here and there. Would have to think our back 5 as a whole is better than theirs, with one or two exceptions - just looking at their record.

I've been checking loads too. Made me feel better about blowing as much as I did.
