I agree If anything I see more light being shone upon Saudi Arabia, certainly more than ever before, so if the idea is to hide their crimes then buying us wasn't the way to go about it But maybe the Newcastle glasses I'm wearing means I'm missing something

I still can't get over his transformation, it's been utterly insane It was already complete well before this game but this was the cherry on top, he's cemented club legend status with that performance (as have a few others)

He has had a bit of an underwhelming season, which stood out more due to how good Hall has been but my word he was magnificent yesterday Just the complete full back performance Not expecting that every week but hopefully he can get close to that level on a consistent basis

And seeing his reactions was bloody worth it He's always on it and thinking about the next game but chuffed he can enjoy this moment, the International break had come at a wonderful time For those that backed Howe from the start and never wavered despite some poor results/performances at times this does feel a bit extra special I know it's petty but I've been active in bringing up comments in various whatsapp chats where some said his time was up and that he has no plan B etc etc, I considered being the bigger man and ignoring it but felt those people had to be shamed so that when we do have a bad run in the future they can not be so hasty Knowing what he's like he won't settle for this, he'll be working his socks off to make sure this is just the start We are so lucky to have him and I hope he's here for a long, long time My gaffer 😎

I've had a couple of people say it's a tin pot or very minor trophy My reply is there's nothing minor about winning a trophy where we had to beat the currently 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th placed Premier League sides Not sure how many of the past League Cup winners can say that

Still in disbelief Over 30 years supporting this club and whilst the hope has always been there (sometimes barely hanging by a thread) at times I have considered maybe it will never happen and that's just meant to be This emotion is something new, it's unique, difficult to describe but I bloody love it Just going to consume as much content as possible over the coming weeks And lastly, this feels like the beginning and I can't wait 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍

He was magnificent, plenty of other mint performances but he was MOTM for me

Nerves starting to kick in a bit now Staying away from this thread to focus on the game, hopefully next time I post it's a joyous one

Fulham away to Arsenal and then home to Liverpool after this game so hopefully that's two blanks for them Been a canny weekend of results for us

Why would that be the case? As we'd no doubt want Europa League as an absolute minimum

Last week there was a lot of doom and gloom as results went against us but I said then that we will have weekends when it goes our way, today has been good and we just need Arsenal to win tomorrow to make it a good weekend If we can then go on a run we'll give ourselves a very good chance of making CL Brentford next in the league for us, strangely they've went from being mint at home but poor away to now poor at home but mint away, so not going to be an easy game

Only if Arsenal beat Chelsea tomorrow But it's been a canny day of results for us

Get in, Bournemouth lose Good result for us

Poor from Kepa

Get in, Brentford level

That's terrible from Janelt

Damn, Bournemouth take the lead

Brentford have got themselves into a decent position a few times now, just the final pass has been awful

Mackems lewsing

My initial reaction was that 65k is too little and I think we should be aiming for 75k But no doubt the club have looked at the data before arriving at that number, they aren't daft enough to leave a lot of revenue out there Having a quick look at others and the Bernabeu is 78k, Allianz is 75k, expecting us to be in the ball park of clubs that absolutely dwarf us is probably a bit naive

Atleti have been screwed like

I'm not convinced that's a double touch, need to see a better angle of it

Tbf he hasn't said that it's PSR losses

The highlights you get instantly (Sky Sports YouTube) are useful if you just want to see the goals but for some games I prefer to see longer highlights, which is where MOTD is useful

Liverpool going to win this, they have the better keeper
