Bloody 5pm kick off, I'll have to watch it somewhere near work.

What a beast, that final save of his 3 in a row was outstanding.

Decent performance last night. Looks a good acquisition.

Never for a moment doubted he would score.

Krul's saves. Shola's penalty. We're through!

The bench. Oh dear. Hope our lot try and stay safe.

Oh goody. No doubt ESPN will pick out some fat cunt with his top off. Tits out for the lasses.

I did, about 10 minutes later.

I'm having a bit of a cringe at the idea of a French Day. I realise I don't have the best avatar to be claiming I'm too cool for it, mind.

Don't lose your dignity.

Have we decided to go for it? Santon and HBA sitting at home. Possibly in need of a rest & just back from injury.. but perhaps I could've worded it as "now we've talked about going for it".

I can totally see us limping out now we've decided to go for it.

Same, if we are going with Haidara and Simpson it makes sense to leave him at home. Agreed. I'll cry if we see Gosling.

Hope all our travelling fans enjoy it.

NUFC or Metalist fan? NUFC. A group of lads tried to push to the front of the queue as it was busy, most people said nothing but I asked them not to. One of them then proceeded to throw all sorts of insults in my direction ("Ugly, typical lass knows nowt about football, uurrgh you're wearing a hat" ) and pushed in anyway, only to be told by the turnstile operator that he was in the wrong queue as he wanted to pay cash. When I grinned and laughed at him he took a swing for me (I dodged and he knocked my hat onto the floor instead) while his mate did the same towards my lad before some random bloke intervened and dragged them both away. The stewards on the inside saw the whole thing but just laughed it off and said they were drunk (they weren't particularly), which was disappointing.

Well I would probably be pissed off at not having won this.. but I spent most of the match fuming at the bellend that threw a punch at me by the turnstiles. Idiot brigade was out in force, as usual for a cup game.

Going for an optimistic £1 on 2-0 to us tonight.

That sounds worryingly like a script NUFC would follow.

Used to love playing football in the hockey goals on the school field, they were the perfect size. Or in the 11 a side goals when they'd have the nets up for the pub league and would leave them up for a while afterwards.

Matchday.

Cash turnstiles so might get a few people who've been dumped.

Goal moochers.
