Delicious. Fuck off Villa.

Palace's support has been sensational today mind. Fair play to them, some noise this.

Haha, get in Palace. Why weren't Villa this shit last week though ffs.

Fantastic news. We've missed you Eddie lad.

Sheffield Utd are garbage. The playoffs are anyone's and I could easily see the Mackems sneaking them.

The crowd have been shit after the first 20 mins. No surprise that we conceded once the atmosphere tailed off. Our crowd at home are so hitty missy man.

Agree. If Sheff Utd end up in the play offs then the Mackems are getting promoted IMO.

Maybe, but personally I go off postcodes. NE postcodes are an unofficial Greater Newcastle to me. And NUFC is the team of the NE postcode as far as I'm concerned. If Whitburn is SR then it's Sunderland to me. It's certainly closer to the Wear than the Tyne too.

Its an SR postcode. It's not Tyneside.

Superb away support there. And tonight showed that we have got a pretty varied songbook, which makes it even more frustrating that it doesnt get aired at home games.

Which thread is this on? I need to see this shite.

Without Rafa, there would have been no Amanda Staveley. For that fact alone he deserves his place in the NUFC hall of fame. That invite to the Liverpool match changed the course of history.

They are letting anyone on the moor now apparently. No tickets required.

There's got to be a few on here who are ST holders in the Strawberry Corner? If so, just start the Isak's on fire song at the next match. It will soon take hold around the whole ground.

I've been saying it for weeks on here. Its the obvious choice for him. That Mackems net thing is absolutely fucking dire.

Exactly how I was. And yeah, I was one of the miseries who predicted another dismal defeat. I still watched it though but bit my nails the entire time. When the second goal went in was when a sliver of belief started to kick in. But when they got the goal back I was certain an equaliser was coming. If it had went to extra time I doubt I would have watched it. For me the really delightful thing isn’t the winning of a trophy, it’s the now knowing that there is no NUFC curse. I can go into any future cup final and merely worry about the result, rather than having to worry about the football Gods having a grudge against us.

That has got to be parody account. Hasn't it?

Looking around the various Scouse social media and they are pretty unanimously praising our support yesterday. They seem impressed with the fact that everyone wore the colours and that the scarfs looked great too. They seem pretty envious of that nature of our support actually. Fair do's that they have taken the defeat well too. But when you win everything over and over again it's probably easy to be magnanimous on the odd occasion when things don't go your way.

Link to that original post please mate. I missed it and want to see it.

Inject it.

If that's where they want to put it then it would be a real squeeze to get a 65k stadium in that spot. And it would leave no room for expansion as it would be hemmed in, just like SJP currently is. Unless they are somehow going to remodel the entire park by changing the lake shape, size & location.

If there is potential for expansion then I will take it. If we become a regular top 5 club though I could see them soon realising the error of not starting at 70k.

I've always thought that 70k is the sweet spot and I still think so. It would also allow us to beat our highest ever attendance. That in itself would be a statement of where the club now was.

There will be day-trippers no matter what the capacity is. If it's only 65k that means that locals will still find it difficult to get in as a lot of the extra 13k seats will go corporate. It boggles my mind that even up here, in our own back yard, there are so many people that don't realise the potential of this club. There must be 65k applying for games right now and we haven't even won anything yet. Are the club really going to be happy to see 10/15k people locked out of games if we become an elite club?

Also, if this is completely on Leazes Park, where exactly does it go? Not convinced that this isn't bullshit to be honest. Mind it will be funny to see Tyneside Eddie's face if the club confirm it to be true.
