Will be interesting if any questions come up/how his mood is.  

He hasn't turned up to the digital event - "Unwell".

Just Shola.

Gallowgate corner before the game was like the PSG pre-game atmosphere.

Was like an away game concourse - my hands bright red from the PSG ultra style drumming beat .  

This kid.

Actions speak louder than words - let's see what unfolds, the meeting went well (handled some of the more challenging questions well) 

Attendance should be over the 1,000 mark on Saturday versus Boston, especially with Newcastle kicking off in the evening.

John Sinclair?

That's correct - I urge you to watch one of his match vlogs on youtube, then imagine sitting next to him for the entire game.

Thoughts? @Danh1

I'd like, share & subscribe to JohnSinclairTV if Dan was to take a seat next to him for the full game.

Leazes West corner, the ballot gods selected me to sit with John Sinclair - he recorded practically the entire 90 mins on his iPhone & flipped to selfie mode for in game analysis.

Glad I had a few drinks before hand, it was an experience I'd rather not have to go through again. 

Stood in the Strawberry corner for the first time in years, got lucky with a re-sale ticket.

I thought it was class - and was refreshing to hear some of the old classics being belted out (Magpie ranger as an example) - compared to the rest of the ground, heard very little.

The Sandro Allez song is the biggest ear worm yet, even more catchy than the Gordon one. Spent the whole day humming it.

Massively agree, and if it means us hearing less of the Moretti/hating Sunderland shite - I will be a happy man. 

Goodbye Miggy - works his arse off & has scored some lovely goals for us over the past few years.

The PSG goal will stay with me forever. 

With or without a drum, the Germans would've drowned us out all evening - agree with what's been previously said - a larger section of the ground dedicated to people who wish to create an atmosphere is very much needed.

Sat in the Leazes corner (East Stand) and at around 80 minutes people starting heading towards the exit. 

What a feeling waking up this morning.

I can't wait for tonight.

I agree mate, I'm just happy to be there on the night - I missed out on the ballot so very happy to be anywhere in the ground. 

Thanks for the reply & info - I haven't a clue how I got them, refreshed the site 500 times, like. 

Mixing it up with the Park Grill lads, looking forward to it.

Has anyone ever sat in Level 6 (Leazes) - section at the back I believe? Got a ticket for PSG & been told it's corporate? 

Thanks in advance. 

Managed to get a re-sale ticket for this in the Milburn (near the press box) - 75 minutes in an older woman with her husband both poked  me in the back as I was stood a little longer than she wanted when Gordon won the penalty. 
 

"sit down, sit down" she whinged. Had to bite my tongue, but felt a little deflated by it as the atmopshere around where I was sitting was silent.

(Strawberry corner was decent & very loud when it got going)

We have a habit of taking 'team' photos at the end of each season and last night was no different. Within our group we debate, we bicker, we deliberate...again...and again...and again. We try things, they dont always work, but we try again, and again and come up with ideas from the ridiculously good to horrendously bad. Some do more than others. Some say more than others. But this group and what we do and have achieved blows my mind. This last season has been difficult and the challenges ahead will also be more difficult, but I know we will rise to each challenge like we have this year through the unbelievable support of the Newcastle United fanbase and the hard work and dedication.

 

Last night one of our main men: Graeme, who occasionally frequents this forum finally managed to stop beside me pitchside and we simply crouched down to take in the fruits of Wor Flags' labour. We hugged and he kissed the back of my head as we gazed out at the immaculate St James' turf, and for a moment time stood still. The two of us. Boycotters. Protestors. Absorbing a feeling of immense pride and justification together. I love Graeme, I love Wor Flags, I love Newcastle.

 

 

 Amazing Heron, top class.

Safe trip to all the lads and lasses heading down to London.

Most excited I've been for a game in years, feels weird

Pardew tactically destroys players with any flair.

By Christmas Palace will be 18th in the league. 

All the best, Andros.

Great news.

I love the smoking Magpie tbh.

Nice e-mail from Rafa this morning.

Rafa Bentiez:

 

First let me start by thanking you all for the heartfelt reception I have received since I arrived. It was an honour to be asked to take charge of this club and I could not have asked for a warmer welcome.

 

As you know, work began with intensity from the moment my coaching staff and I arrived. Our first job is to make sure we remain a Premier League club and this week we have committed everything we have to making that happen.

 

Whilst the result on Monday at Leicester wasn’t what we wanted, I was pleased with parts of what I saw. We have worked intensively on the areas that need improvement and I am confident we go into Sunday’s game well-prepared.

 

I have been in the opposing dug out at St. James’ Park and I know that when I take my place on the home side, I will be backed by some of the most passionate fans in the world.  In fact, the strength of your famous support is one of the many things that drew me to this club. 

 

On Sunday, Sunderland’s team will face not only the 11 players on the pitch, but a 50,000-strong army.  I hope you will not underestimate the importance of the role you will play on Sunday; you can make the crucial difference for us.

 

Let’s create a wall of sound and a tide of black and white. I am sure there will be respect on both sides, that's important, but I have no doubt that the atmosphere you will create will be electrifying and imposing.

 

We are ready…

 

In turn, I know the team will play with the passion befitting of this historic fixture.  We will give our all to honour the tradition of the derby and take the victory we need.

 

I know you’ll be behind them.
