Vague memories of thinking it would be hilarious to have a pint in O'Neills last night.

I'm going to the Metro Centre when this is on.

Same here. I'm having enough trouble believing it's Saturday, never mind a matchday.

£2 Newcastle DNB

It was a lovely finish. I was in the pub and did an inadvertent little jump/celebration thing.

Got the Friday and Monday off work to make a long weekend of it, can't wait. Cue the matches being dreadful.

Really enjoyed the trip there last year, despite the result. I would've liked to do the same this year but it wasn't possible. Not sure where to watch the match.

My lad and one of our mates have tickets, hotel and travel. Fuck know what I'm doing if we get there! They were happy to go regardless though whereas I'd only fancy it if we were in it.

I nearly did housework. Then I put the laptop on, and somehow 4 hours have passed.

Mastermind on BBC2, someone is doing NUFC since 1945.

Same.

Very much this.

I'll just take a moment for the shock of this news to sink in.

I'm really pleased for him as he does deserve the chance.. but less so at having a reason to bother about England and the possibility of injury. But mostly pleased for him. I think.

Couldn't really focus properly on the match after his injury. Rotten challenge.

The one time I didn't back him.

£1.25 on Norwich DNB. Of course I'm only getting round to posting this after they've taken the lead, but my bets never win anyway so I can't imagine this one will be any different.

He spends a fortune in the bookies at Forest Hall, from what I can gather. Mind, if they're used to the regulars from the Scotsman, £50 is probably considered a fortune.

I must've been standing right by you.

Where are yous drinking once you arrive in Wigan? last time I went (06/07) there was only some crappy sports bar and a Harvester-style pub. Ketsbaia and I will be there. I think you'll recognise him. If so, come over and I will break my duck of letting people off the forum know who I am! Red Robin or something is it? rings a bell. All I remember is they got proper arsey because a few of our lot were "being disruptive" to a few families trying to enjoy a quiet Sunday dinner. Anyone else in there Boxing day when the "pass it on" incident happened? Glass collector? Aye

Ah, the voice of hope.
