I just like supporting Newcastle when we're not a total joke. That's all I want really. Winning a cup won't change that, being back in the Premiership with a proper manager in charge could, and trophies could hopefully come afterwards. And with regards to trophies, unless you win the Premiership or the Champions League nobody else gives a shit (and I know we like to pretend that doesn't matter, but it really does).

"get in there, one in the eye for them" :lol: The depravity of it all though. Clinically weird.

Hopefully they divn't bum us.

Imagine actually trying to argue that was a red card ffs

At a guess, 'deluded jawdees'.

Says it all about how you see our club. Happy to sacrifice the big time for the consolation of a cup. Coventry won the FA cup some time ago, what a fucking glory. We've got Rafa man, stop acting like a Crystal Palace fan. That's it in a nutshell like Rafa Benitez is saying he wants stay here long term, turn the club around and win trophies. That's what I want my club to be, not a Championship side that has won the fucking League Cup (although would be a lush bonus).

I've supported us all my life without winning a single trophy and up until about half a decade ago it was class. I loved our pointless forays into the Champions League and have probably gotten as much satisfaction out of Bellamy's goal against Feyenoord, or Albert's lob, than I will us winning a Penalty shootout against Arsenal in a League Cup final. I dunno, we finally look like we've been allowed the possibility of turning into an actual football club again, I don't want to potentially piss that away for a tier 3 trophy win.

Football should be about winning trophies (not the Championship). Being able to get thumped of Sky's big boys wouldn't bring as much joy as a cup win. Aye but it isn't. There are different trophies with different levels of gravitas. And winning the league cup as a Championship team is just pointless. There's no pride in winning a tournament in which half the teams barely even try. It'd be slightly different with the FA Cup, but the bigger teams still don't really give a s*** until later rounds. Just seems really pointless being the shitty club that fluked a cup. I want to win trophies because we're the f***ing best, not because no-one else could be arsed. Aye, fully agree with this. I'd love for us to win a trophy but not at the expense of putting the clubs future back into jeopardy Actually I'm just going to come out and say it, I think trophies are overrated. Unless you do something like Leicester City have just done then it all seems a bit meh to me. I'd be over the moon for a few days, get drunk, attend an open bus tour or whatever happens, and then watch the highlights of the win back on Youtube every now and then when I'm bored. That's the pinnacle and what football supporting is about though. Doing that as opposed to what if we get promoted? Tell that to the lower leagues.

It's a crease how much they hate us because we stole their relegation thunder like

Shearer had far better seasons than Batistuta like, but aye, a quick wiki shows he was prolific for just as long.

Shelvey.

Regardless of results they're still potentially one of the strongest sides in this division. There isn't a single side in this league, home or away, who we shouldn't be beating like.

He is Van Basten like

The whole ban system is a total joke like, the amount of blatantly obvious decisions which go against the player and team is utterly bizarre.

I think we'll molest 'em.

PSG have a good squad yees kna

Murphy is here as he's willing to sit on the bench. Armstrong needs games.

Meh, these results will happen, we need to wise-up and match the intensity of teams who aren't going to come here and lie down. Not an excuse like, it's only been 4 games since we were last taught a lesson. Hopefully we bum them senseless next week.

Daryl Murphy was clearly signed as back-up to Mitrovic and Gayle, how can you criticise him not being in the squad ahead of those?

my thoughts almost to a T.

Aye deffinitely not, he's obviously doing something (or not doing something ) so it would be a bit daft to get on Emery's back.

By all acounts he's meant to be lazy in training. He's never been fat but he's came back fairly over his ideal weight a few times. At PSG it's completely understandable that he would be dropped, they're a world class side. At Newcastle and Hull though, managed by Pardew and Bruce? Puel knew exactly how to handle him at a mid tier club, he just let him get on with it and was rewarded massively.

It's hard to say he should have had a better career like, he obviously has issues which he's admitted himself. The crux of the matter is his career could have been great here if Pardew wasn't a vindictive bellend. Everything was sorted, he just needed to play him.
