oldtype

Just the first of many important nights for this club. It would’ve been too easy if we broke our drought immediately our first full season back.

it’s been fun guys

I hate when VAR gives you false hope. It’s like conceding twice.

Ferguson looks a hundred years old, which, to be fair, he probably is by now.

How are we already twenty minutes into this

Great weight lifted from everyone’s chests there when Karius didn’t immediately fuck up the first ball kicked at him

Wouldn’t be surprised if a large chunk of tickets in the Man U end were picked up by our fans. My friend is there too because he couldn’t get a ticket in our end. Why would they particularly care about the league cup anyway. Don’t know if there’s ever been a larger disparity in interest between the two fanbases in the final.

It’s the opportunity that feels so special, not necessarily the winning. The feeling, after over a decade of futility, that what we do in supporting this club actually matters. They can’t take that away from us anymore, so it almost doesn’t even matter if we win or lose. We will be back again. For this and for bigger trophies. …love it if we win though.

As someone else has already noted this sort of "COULD FACE PRISON TIME" stuff is always vastly overblown, but not exactly a great first impression is it.

Just my dumb luck that this momentous occasion falls within the small window where I legally cannot leave the United States. One or two other Koreans are going. So if anyone happens to see an Asian in a Newcastle shirt in line to get in at Wembley, please remember to ask “are you mates with Oldtype?” instead of “are you Oldtype?” As for me, I guess I’ll be on the couch with my daughter, moderately drunk on a Sunday morning.

Lascelles or Dummet. Because it would be hilarious. Bruno and the like will hopefully have plenty of time in the years ahead to score memorable goals for us.

One of the most surreal things about this was finally hearing our fans singing the "tell me ma, me ma" song in a completely unironic way.

I'm honestly so hung up about the fact that I might not be there when we finally win one that I almost don't want us to win, but I will suppress those terribly selfish thoughts for the greater good.

Cup finals. Cannot believe it. Feels like I'm playing Football Manager.

Have to say I am absolutely shocked they haven't scored yet.

Please end the game. This isn't fun anymore.

Imagine the state of this forum right now if we were only one goal ahead

Lascelles coming on

Can only imagine how tense the inside of SJP must be right now. Would be so unimaginably horrible if we fucked this up.

Newcastle United kindly reminding us that we're never allowed to be happy.

Ooof I think that's a red

Genuinely a lot more recent than it feels like in my head.

So jealous can't leave the country because of fucking USCIS.

Not really surprising that the players seem a bit nervous and tentative when they're two goals ahead and fifteen minutes away from the club's first cup final since before any of them were born.

Thank God we have a two goal cushion because if we were just one goal away from going out I think I might have had a seizure by now.
