So I know nothing about this person but based on some googling, seems that he’s a decent player that people don’t like because he has a reputation as a complete dickhead. Good thing we’re bringing him into the best team culture in the league then? I can’t imagine we’d be paying this much for him unless management had considered the risks and determined that a lot of his problems are just the product of him being in a shitty environment.

I just realized that I can't go to the UK for the finals because my US permanent residency is processing and I am absolutely gutted. And yes, I am totally jinxing it by thinking this far ahead.

Imagine letting this slip at home. That would be like having all the pain of Alan Pardew's tenure as NUFC manager concentrated into a single football match.

"First league cup final in 47 years" Feels longer tbh.

It's hard to imagine us not going through now. (knocks on wood furiously)

That stretch where we inexplicably had the best defense in the league with Ryan Taylor playing at left back It’s hard to even conceive of when you consider what happened after, but we genuinely came pretty close to making the CL that year.

How why

Dan Burn is disturbingly fast for a human of that size.

Holy shitfucks what a save

I’ve decided I’m going to blame it on this horrible green and white kit

Unpleasant flashbacks to the Pardew days where no matter how many corners we got I was 100% confident we’d never score from them.

You get five subs now right? Don’t understand why managers still refuse to change anything until 60 minutes in. You should be making them a lot more proactively.

Watching matches like this makes you wonder how goals ever get scored in the game of football.

Pretty shitty decision making from Joelinton there

Would wood have scored that?

Imagine how despondent we’d all be if this team was remotely capable of conceding goals.

Alright. Thomas the Train off, second half on. Can’t believe this match is on terrestrial TV in the US. I’m not complaining, but there’s got to be some better use for Saturday morning airwaves here than Newcastle v. Crystal Palace

Can’t watch because my two year old has Thomas the Train on, but doesn’t seem like I’m missing much.

Who knows why I started, but after Chelsea Away in 2012, how could I possibly support any other team.

Also, selling Wood seems fine, but years of following NUFC has conditioned me to believe that all of our strikers will suddenly get crocked as soon as the ink on the papers is dry.

Can't say I was expecting to see a debate about why we shouldn't sign Harry Kane when I walked into this thread.

Drunk driving is dumb, obviously, but it’s also incredibly selfish for a key player to do anything that might put himslef at risk of being unable to play when the club is on the cusp of a cup final and trying to hold down a top four place. You need to be aware that a lot is riding on your health and availability and conduct yourself accordingly.

I'm assuming not, but is there any way of knowing which part of Wembley our allocation would be seated in?

I think the best course for all of us is to just pretend that the cup doesn't exist until we actually win it. Why risk jinxing it with either too much optimism or too much pessimism.

Airfare to London the weekend of February 26 is less than $1000.
