I hope we win more cups but not too extent we get bored of finals like Liverpool etc. feels magical, don’t think we should snark at the pre match stuff

Do it for Kev

Im nervous cos although I don’t expect to win, I have hope, and I don’t want it to go. Enjoying this period. HOWAY. Have a little feeling it could be this time.

Last time going to bed as a fan that hasn’t won the Milk/Coca Cola/Worthington/Carling/Capital One/Carabao Cup. Life will feel fundamentally different

Been various parts of London all day and seen Newcastle fans all over, not a single Liverpool fan. Not saying it means anything, just find it odd

Jade Thirlwall’s cover of Backbone. includes the lines ‘like Alan Shearer scoring a goal wearing Brown Ale’ ’have you ever seen a mackem in Milan? (Doesn’t sound real!)’ plus it’s class

double post shit internet

Bringing the pride back home, 98 final song Albion by Babyshambles has the New Ca Stle! bit

Work up early this morning and I jumped out of bed I didn't have to wear my work clothes I put on this shirt instead It's a black and white jersey, it's a thing I couldn't hide 'Cos it's almost a religion and I wear it with some pride

Omens are good. I went to an Iranian restaurant in London and had something called Zeytoon Parvardeh and it was one of the nicest things I’ve ever had. ZeyTOON.

I do have a PhD though tbf

Genuinely thought that reply to needy was taking the piss. John Hall’s a total prick man. But I thought his name was already taken off the stand? Always just says Leazes on my ticket

Nah they weren’t at Wembley

Na just once

No roof, don’t think they should even be allowed. The weather is part of the game.

Leicester and Blackburn?

Thought about reading my book on the train on the way down. Don’t think that’ll be happening

Find it mad leaving my flat, and soon my office, knowing I could be returning as a fan of a team that has won a trophy more recently than 1969.

Does that include one of their lot scoring an own goal?

Train down this eve. National demo for Palestine tomorrow, bask in increasing optimism in the eve, meet my da sunday morning, collect the cup, national express bus back through the night sunday.

I had a dream we won it after the semi. But Gordon won it on pens 😬

Yeah Sky and others. I'm mostly familiar with her from the Totally Football Show. Seems to have a good relationship with most of the Brazilians over here.

She's a well established journalist, she's not going to be working as our in-house.
