Sort of sums up that stadium for me. All show.

We've got to go full out for this match. Fingers crossed nothing happens to negatively impact on Sunday. A win tonight would be massive in any context.

Horrendous though it would be yes definitely.

Felt a bit off giving him C but I don't consider him a B by the given definition. Probably C+.

We'll get European football if we deserve it. Simple, but lets enjoy the journey as it's still full of hope. What a massive two games to look forward to this week.

Happy from our perspective but Bournemouth deserve to be out of sight

Back on

Or they feel less confident. I know that's how we'd feel in similar circumstances but your right. Anyway they've just scored.

Aye my river is slow. Knuckles rapped.

Southampton score

Cardiff equaliser

Mackems 1 up.

Stuart Pearce suffered a health scare on a flight returning him from LA. Flight was diverted to Canada where he remains in hospital. Hope it isn't too serious and he makes a full recovery.

Some tasty fixtures over the weekend. With us not having a league match next week we'll need a win on Monday or we'll probably a few points adrift of 4th or even 5th.

I understand to some extent given we're Newcastle United supporters but it shows further commitment to the area. The knock on effect is a strengthening of the ongoing investment in NUFC. They're hanging around for a while yet.

In training pics today.

If we can keep Bruno, Tonali and Joelinton on the pitch for 90 minutes we've a chance.

And we've successfully appealed Gordon's red card ?

Was my immediate thought.

Thanks timeEd32, very insightful.

Liverpool have three matches before the final to our one. Things may change regarding player availability. I think two hard games against PSG but ultimately going through might be best. They could have more focus on the greater trophy but I get that it also raises their, already high, confidence. I'm still jealous of those receiving tickets today.

Done that so many times. The best memories despite the turgid football, mostly anyway.

Imagine going into a cup final with at least a 50% chance of lifting the trophy, I don't think I'd be dreading it.

Botman the week off? He's not played for ages. He needs this game to have a chance of starting the final.

Great news on the team. Exactly what I wanted to see. No excuses.
