One unintended consequence of this is that in the future it’ll be significantly harder to get home cup tickets.

aye. in Hughesy's case he could have bought 1 cup ticket for £20 and just not turn up. which benefits nobody.

it's a really difficult situation and a hard one to get right. I think they've done the best they can and it seems pretty fair overall.

Black and White surely? There’s no clash with the red. 

you’d think so but we wore the white one away at Old Trafford this season.

no idea how it works, if there’s a “home” team or what. I mean, why the fuck would we know how any of this works?

wonder what kit we’re going to wear…

white/green/green

or

black&white/black/white

If you're not concerned about Bruno Fernandes you have some serious problems. you stop him, you stop Rashford.

I did enjoy the Toon Ultras craic mind. I seem to recall there was a forum too?

 

But yes @Heroni was most definitely groomed on MSN messenger 

there was a forum, I set it up

I've still got loads of old designs and stuff from back then, I'll dig some out tomorrow.

I understand this might sound ridiculous but I’ve just seen this video of Neymar on Twitter and it really reminded of all the highlight videos I’ve been watching of Gordon. Based on that alone I can say with 99% confidence that Gordon is gonna be world class. He’s already as good as Neymar at diving  

*half trolling half serious but did honestly see similarities in the two 

he does say in this interview that Neymar is his favourite player.

probably why he loves a dive. which I do hope he tones down a bit, it's canny ridiculous at times

Considering booking a hotel and coming up to Newcastle for this. As a complete non-local, how easy will it be to find a pub to watch this in? Is it going to be utterly impossible? 

there's about 800 options so I'm sure you'll be fine

What do y'all even say for the second line? I can't even pick out one word.

 

Although it is catchy as fuck and should definitely take off.

he's our number 14 and he plays in attack

Mad Mick should replace the ol' boy the booth, he'd get SJP rocking

Wembo hopefully, but London regardless. all booked up Friday - Monday.

When we win people will be out on the streets surely?

you'd hope so! something at St James' a la takeover night would be great.

We've got a hotel booked for London but I think were gonna sack it off and watch it here

eh how come? just feel like town will be a bit of an anti-climax with everyone split over the many pubs/bars.

plus it's a Sunday, so people will be off home for work the next day.

it's a massive occasion and should be treated as such, the usual match day routine will not suffice!

for me, anyway people should do whatever they bloody well like.

Here's the big question though. If you're not going to the match, do you go into town or go to London?

 

I think it's one of those ones where you wish you could be in both places at once. 

London, for me. you can watch the match in Newcastle any time. not often you can be part of a Trafalgar Square takeover

we might need to bring back the Toon Ultras

think acoustics is one of the biggest problems, the noise just doesn't travel well at all. I sit bang in the middle of upper Gallowgate and it's massively noticeable. the corner and upper gallowgate (west) are never ever in sync.

can't hear a thing from any other area in the ground, even from the away fans.

also, wish someone would snap the announcers CDs in half, he's absolutely shite.

we’ll batter these.

poor Wood would be getting slated if he was putting in some of these performances.

just saying!

why are people being weird about the DJ lad? extra pint ffs  have a word.

HOWAY THE BLOODY LADS MAN!

Anyone know if you can still get the basic, kind of thick striped scarves anymore? Similar to the ones at Shearer’s testimonial? 
 

I’ve been meaning to get a new scarf for years and I know want one for the home semi next week.
 

I had a lovely one with just a small, gold embroidered badge at the ends. But I swapped it with a Brugge fan when we played over there. 

 just seen it go past the office and got straight on flight tracker.

it was a bright green medically looking thing. false alarms lads
