Seeing the replay of that second, it's just unlucky. Deflection has a big effect, would take an absolute world class save to stop it.

Aye, being told for the past week how this is the most important game for 25 years, possibly 60. As much as Eddie has tried to keep the week normal, thats got to take its toll on player not used to it.

Everyone in a Newcastle shirt seems nervous now, on and off the pitch

Don't think I've ever celebrated a yellow card as much

Howay Newcastle, just do the city proud.

I can't sit still. Just pacing around the living room now.

Love how many recent ex players seem to be involved in this, it's easy to be emotionally invested if like Ginola you played during the good times but the likes of Krul, Gayle, R Taylor and Hayden didn't exactly don the black and white during our best moments.

Isak and Willock are very good options to have.

That top comes from after his time here no? Has he gone and bought himself a toon top?

The difference in atmosphere between the two sides of the stadium when they're doing the walk around on sky

Has time stopped for anyone else? I'm sure there was only 2 hours 'till kick off about 4 hours ago.

Aye, got a couple of Man U fans at work and they talk about it as if its just another game.

Was just about holding my shit together until the last paragraph from Murphy's mum "This Sunday will be different. Come 4.30pm, when you’re out playing football, I’ll not be calling you in for your tea, that’s because you’re playing at WEMBLEY. Tell me Ma, me Ma."

This is going to be a very long 9 hours.

Looks like the seller has cancelled my purchase, gutting. Worst thing is, I think it probably means the person selling has probably found a much better offer for their ticket.

Can't believe they've wasted Dan Burn's tailor's time like that.

This blokes famously good in finals right?

Oh no, oh Nick. what you doing.

Bit the bullet and bought one in the Newcastle end. Not going to believe its legit until I actually get through the turnstile. Did look at the Club Wembley option but with it being a minimum 3 year term, I couldn't justify committing to that.

I know people selling it through reselling websites are terrible people, but where do I stand morally buying through a reseller? Would that make me a terrible person? Thinking of biting the bullet, yes its expensive but so were all the away days I've been to. I've been to Plymouth away midweek (the longest journey in English professional football.), flown across Europe (after calling in sick) to see an unimportant premier league match at West Ham, had a season ticket despite living hundreds of miles away for years. Gave it up out as a personal protest at MA, despite knowing it would mean losing my loyalty points which I wanted to cling on to. Given this, is buying an over inflated ticket so bad? Its not like Its going to a random punter, I've put in the miles, attended the soul-searching defeats (including to lower league clubs in the cub and the hard-to-get-to grounds in the Championship) and lived and breathed this club all my life.

Gordon has got to finish that man.

Made "Enjoy the game!" look classy

Yes Miggy!

Big Jo does so well to keep the ball and give it to ASM there
