It's over 50 years since I 1st stood in the Leazes End and, honestly, was of a mindset that I'd never witness a trophy win. Now I've hope if not expectations of something tangible happening within the next 5 years. What a feeling.

Really feel quite emotional. Shocked myself dancing around the kitchen.

54, brilliant summary of how I and probably most feel overall about the situation.

We want Bruce out chants nice and early.

I can understand if he was from Rokef or Fulwell but Silksworth does seem peculiar.

Did he say 44k?

Just realised both us and Sunderland are at home today 3pm ko. Can't recall the last time it happened?

Yep, if we don't get something here with that 11 it'll really start some panicking.

Lovely goal for QPR.

Turned it off as soon as he started, could tell it would be crap.

"We are top our league, we are top of our league ". How many is in it ? One? Two? The excitement of the forthcoming season just builds and builds.

If Wilson and ASM start we've a chance of scoring, that's about it for positives. How we go about stopping them or controlling any aspects of play with Bruce at the helm will be, as usual, frustrating as hell.

Chris Hughton is in great nick for 62 mind.

These are special times we're living in.

£360 adult behind goal, £48 junior.

This has cheered me up but looking at the source only fleetingly.

Always relieved when he was stating against us as he offers sod all. What a great addition to our mediocre midfield.

Only letting me do £10. Still on it though, cheers.

Thank christ, what an absolute embarrassment it would have been.

Lots of promise couple of years ago but bang average from what I've seen since. Rather have him than Hendrick or Saivet as a squad player.

Nice goal.

Commentary slightly ahead on mine.

The flower has wilted somewhat.

I said exactly this to my wife.

Quite emotional, was shouting at telly for him to fight whilst watching it unfold. That picture is heartwarming.
