What's the chances of everyone who was there last week being at Wembley too? If they are then there is zero excuse for a lack of noise.

Jesus. I haven't been keeping up with how the tickets are being distributed, but we aren't writing off the cup final atmosphere already are we?

A loud rendition of "wake me up before you go-go" from our fans when we play them next, please.

I think it's a good thing maybe. Last year everyone seemed to put all of their energy into the night before instead of the actual game, hence the abysmal backing from our lot throughout the match.

Liverpool is definitely the one to worry about, I will be livid if he ends up with those bastards. I'd rather he went to Arsenal. Hopefully he's going nowhere though.

That sounded like a better atmosphere than the PSG game. Wish it was like that every week. That was the SJP of old.

Only 3 months ago he was saying that anyone who believes there would be any kind of development on Leazes Park is "batshit crazy". He's pretty insufferable when it comes the the subject of stadium redevelopment/relocation.

I don't understand the desire for a huge "kop" end mind. Its an outdated concept and the views from near the back of it would be bloody awful.

Agree with that. He became a more complete player at Man Utd but in the process lost his flawless finishing that he had with us.

That's not the player I remember at all. Cole was absolutely lethal for the entire time of his NUFC career. He might have had his chances created a lot by Peter Beardsley but he still always finished them. Isak still misses 1 on 1 chances. Cole never did. "Gets the ball and scores a goal". Never been a more accurate song about an NUFC player.

He's still not quite as good as Cole in his NUFC heyday but he's getting there. I've thought for a while that he's the closest thing we have seen to Andy Cole and he plays very much like him. The comparison to Henry is absurd IMO. On another note, the lad desperately needs a better song as that "Mackems Net" dirge is properly cringeworthy. We have got one of the best strikers in the world and we serenade him with a song related to goals scored against lower league fodder. FFS, at the very least he should be getting the "Isak's on fire/defence is terrified" song.

Hopefully they will use the people who redesigned the Bernabeu to design our new stadium. I'd be over the moon if we just built a Bernabeu replica, in terms of internal design, steepness of stands, facilities & technology, proper roof that can fully close etc. It's the greatest football stadium in the world, bar none. I'd like to see the exterior look a bit different though, as the spaceship exterior works a treat in Madrid but would look well out of place in Newcastle city centre.

NUFC are never moving to Silverlink, or anywhere like it.

That article reads as pretty depressing to me, and makes me think it will all be kicked into the long grass. Sure, they might announce a plan soon but I won’t be surprised if a shovel doesn’t hit the ground for years.

Assuming the material will be the same, they absolutely have to bring back the away top too.
