Offside

Good news, had mentioned to someone it could help if he's around the squad for Barca and Sunderland.

Went into it thinking just keep the tie alive for as long as possible. We've done that with some degree of comfort so far. The away leg may well be a bridge too far but we're definitely still in it and fighting.

Think that's the worry and is why EH has built it up somewhat. We really need this to be contest throughout tonight and going into next week.

Looking forward to it but it's nowhere near last year's Cup final in terms of excitement ect.

Well that's cheered me up.

Betting odds have changed quite a bit since team announcement, they're still favourites but only just.

Monumental game.

Looking at the absolute despair on those Spurs fans faces man. There'll be full blown tears all round if they do drop down.

Dear me.

It's why we love the sport and particularly Newcastle. We've been underwhelming and dissapointing recently then last night happens and the hope and joy resurfaces.

Absolutely monumental game for me, still dreaming of winning "The Cup" during my lifetime and I've had my three score years. I get the we'll probably get Arsenal away next round feeling but let's win and see where we are. I'm hoping they'll rest a couple given their league situation and the following match in the CL but the backups are hardly a great drop off.

NUFC.COM will advise accordingly.

Mind they didn't get a stonewaller in the 1st minute.

Sure I read yesterday that you take the seeded teams place should you beat them. Not 100% mind.

Celtic score after 29 seconds, 4-2 on agg.

Pen definitely

3-3 on aggregate. Great tie for the neutral .

3 0 now

2 0

Aye, going through against Barcelona would be the stuff of folklore for generations. Same outcome via Chelsea without the heightened prestige.

Game on.

If we've a realistic chance of Europa we need to win. Anything else and our league season continues to dissapoint. Thankfully our cup season remains exciting.

Definitely a massive positive having him available again, especially with his mates absence. Loved his performance and attitude last night
