Discourages stupid queues. People have had weeks to get tickets! With midweek games a lot of people have work commitments and don't know if they can make it until the day of the match, sometimes last minute. Understand why they've done it (for the reasons you've mentioned) but £15 would have been fairer rather than doubling the prices. Also should have allowed cash turnstiles in Leazes level 7 because that will be empty tonight as Preston only bringing 1,000. Still 45,000 is a remarkable show of support from the fans for what is a League cup 4th round tie between two 2nd division clubs and I think we're now showing Ashley what he could have had all those years ago if he'd ran the club properly. As a comparison, Sunderland got 13,000 charging the same prices in this competition a few weeks ago v Shrewsbury and when they played Man Utd in the Semis a couple of years ago they only managed 31,000 with 6k of those away fans. As for the team I expect Sels, Hanley, Mbemba Lazaar, Diame, Atsu, Hayden and Mitrovic to come in to the starting XI. This is what happens when they don't dish free tickets out. They only dish them out for league games so when they are in the cup it doesn't matter who they play, it tells by their crowds. Tin pot club.

Love the way we get the blame for it. Their total lack of self awareness once again saying how we hound our managers out. They're the worst cunts for it.

Jesus Christ man

Where'd you hear that from? That's fantastic.

The absolute clip of him man!

Make sure its got gravy on too.

Delighted this is on a foreign channel as there'll be a stream for it. Quarter final on the horizon hopefully.

this is whats funny about this season so far, they were so triumphant in the summer, they were going places , we were gone for good and they could see the holy grail of having bigger crowds. It just hasn't gone to plan at all has it?

Seems to have his head sorted this season so if we go up he'll be an important player next season.

Class news that.

That's what I thought.

He just sits there and lies 24/7 doesn't he?

Canny little read that. Sums us up quite well.

Did anyone look at you?

So a mystery Chinese consortium, that haven't been named or opened negotiations with the club, have lined up the disgraced former manager (who couldn't get away fast enough in the summer) to replace the current manager who's been there for 8 games. I, for one, am rattled Ah shit, I forgot to be rattled earlier when I read it. I am now though.

Man utd game is on freeview tonight. Not sure if its been mentioned. Channel 59 and free on BT sport 2.

Baring injuries, can you see him getting much game time? Yeah, he'll play when he's needed. I can still see him scoring at least another 7 or 8 this season. This is essentially my point. When is he needed? Barring injury he doesn't do what people on here think he does. Or not for me anyway. This 'outlet' and 'good in the air' stuff, I'm yet to see it this season like. He cost is points at villa and could have cost us the win at Norwich through through being s thick c***. Cost us the win against Villa even though he didn't concede the orignal corner, nor did he concede the 2nd corner that they actually scored from. Not to mention he didn't lose his man or flap at the cross. As for the Norwich game, he's one of the very reasons we won it due to their CB's absolutely shitting themselves at his presence. Absolutely ridiculous comment to even make. I missed the Norwich game and have only seen the sky footage of the last two goals, so I'll accept your point on that, he still could easily have been flagged for the last though. Flagged for what? (Serious question, I can't remember)

Wasn't it reported that talks had broke down only the other day?

I knew it! Who are these idiots?

The song "we're Newcastle and we're gunna win the league" used to always be followed by "wey ya nar, wey ya nar" but on a few occasions ive heard and on some videos I've seen it seems some people are singing "we are, we are". Have some people decided to change the lyrics or am I just hearing something that's not there like something in a song that you know fine well that's not what is being sang?

Pleased he missed that after all that shit before he kicked it. Prick.

Thank you BT showcase.
