good- always like to see that- if the fans feel it the players can as well, thats a great leveller in any game-complacency. Not sure I want our team having hearturn tbh mate.

Please be fit for Benfica. Thanks.

I fucking love their fans already

Welcome http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/Smileys/Newcastle-Online/hello.gif You should stay on the forum for the build up to 2 massive games. Sure the people travelling will love the ORIGINAL Stadium of Light.

That's the spirit

URGH

TWATS

Feel like I did when I waslking into the ground last nigh neeerrrvvvesssss

Is there anything on yet? Just when I'm clicking play its not doing anything. I know it doesn't start for 10 mins.

That was down to the police because of the Notting Hill Carnival on the Sunday. Ahh right Good news.

Didn't we have to play Chelsea on the Saturday after the Atromitos trip? Can that happen again?

Love the bit with the fat on. Fats for me like.

Mickey Mouse cup marra. NETD or NECB cup for me like.

Fair enough, can't really remember most of the teams on offer when we got drawn with Metalist, I just remember being quite content when they came out. Think at the time I was more worried about getting Lazio or something which is probably why I seen them as a decent draw.

Nah I didn't say easy, but I would say decent/favorable compared to some of the teams that we could have had. I'm also including the group stage in with the 'decent' draws. I was definitely content with Metalist, was more worried about Anzhi though.

Aye, we've had decent draws throughout the comp imo, bound to get a nasty one this time considering most teams left in it now are worrying.

Must be horrible knowing your supporting an absolute nothing club. Imagine paying 400-550 quid for a season 'card' knowing that the club are dishing out free tickets each week to every man and his dog.

Exactly, imagine we just went all for it from the off? Would have been absolutely humped. I'm encouraged by how well we contained them for the most part tbh. Said before the game I'd take another shit game like last week if it meant the right result.

Christ HTT, talk about trying to find the negatives. They didn't beat us at their place with 11 men so it's hardly fact that they would have yesterday. We defended well and nullified their threat apart from the odd mistake. Never understand comments like 'if it wasn't for Taylor' ... well he's ours and he was there and done his job. Also their lack of clinical finishing? What about Sissoko's chances in the second half? Or Taylors that he belted straight at the keeper? Just enjoy it for what it is. A win , and a very tough on, against one of the favourites of the competition.

Roof of the Gallowgate stopped me from seeing it, but me mate had his nephew up there and text saying it was right next to them so had to move, bellends. Hope they get banned.

Yeah, Lazio is one of the teams I least want, along with Benfica, and Spurs or Chelsea, and Rubin Kazan. Or Fenerbahce.

Think he will if we match his ambition, no reason why we can't with the players we have, especially if we keep up this level of recruitment. Can't believe he plays for us, seemed a pipe dream when we were first linked (admittedly I didn't know much of him then but reading reviews etc and the teams he was linked with had me sure we would never get him)
