Haven't seen the game but Simpson for Campbell looks like a really positive sub to push on and win it, so fair play.

He loves a late winner like. Let's have one next week please!

Amongst others I had Cisse FGS today. Spurs/Everton and QPR/Wigan draw double is my only other one still alive.

Cheers. Plumped for Ballabriggs with it.

At the point when he'd been transfer listed, Williamson looked really quite capable at this level. He played well once we'd just come up.

...aaaaaand wor lad just had a goal ruled out for someone elses handball in the build up, probably rightfully too.

This is a fucking dire game like. Just waiting for Not Going Out to come on.

Abeid just been booked for St Johnstone, currently 0-0 away at Inverness after 56 mins.

He muddled our attacking efforts in the closing stages like he does when we're chasing the game. We hardly ever build up a head of steam and attack in stoppage time, we always seem to concede daft fouls and offsides and make it dead easy for the oppo.

Nervy 2-1 win imo. Cisse and Sissoko.

I'd be pissed off if one of my mates conceded a goal from an error like that in five a side, let alone a Europa League quarter final. Age notwithstanding. Doesn't excuse an error like that, but it does make calls to sell him look rather short-sighted at best IMO. He's a young kid with a lot to learn. I hope he learns it at NUFC. FWIW I never said I wanted to sell him I think that view is a bit knee-jerk to say the least. He needs a spell out of the team imo. Haidara should be given a chance when he's fit.

nailed, I can't blame him for tonight. Two individual errors and two that hit the post, we're 0-4 on those crucial moments going against us.

Should know better. Dickhead.

Fuck off. Young, learning, whatever: that was such an amateurish mistake and it's fucking cost us massively. Pathetic.

Does them scoring cancel out our goal, like? Where did I say that? I said we should and could have scored more and Krul was a bit naff on the goal we did concede.

We could have been 0-4 before they scored. Bit shit from Krul on the goal really, we've weathered it reasonably well since they scored. Will be an interesting half and Pardew's subs will be vital.

Will Hill online doing 490/1 for Cabaye 2-1 NUFC scorecast! Surely worth fifty pee at least.

I'm more confident of us beating Benfica than Brighton tbf (note to Benfica fans: I'm not saying you're shit, okay?!)

Team tonight looks fine tbh. Obviously there's an argument for Anita > Perch but it's a toughish away game and Perch is closer to what Tiote's supposed to be like than Vurnon is. Also, Shola only as a sub and the presence of Campbell = Would have had Bigi on the bench instead of Gosling though, otherwise I can't complain too much.

Aye, jotenko is what AliGupter might have been like if he wasn't shit.

Selected small stake punts tonight: Chelsea, Spurs, Benfica, Lazio Cisse, 1-0 NUFC Cabaye, 2-1 Benfica Yanga-Mbwia anytime

As if the mackems can fucking say anything about wearing strips at the airport Every time I go to Newcastle Airport there's at least one mackem family (big fat baldy dad, ugly skinny blonde, two bairns 3-6 years old) who've just been to the club shop prior to them coming on holiday and they're all kitted out with the new shirt, and often the kids are full kit wankers, complete with 'BILLY 9' or 'CATHERINE 10' on the back of their tops.
