Joelinton.

Ideally with that cheat Bruno Fernandes getting sent off.

As with Australia in cricket, seeing them dominate the league combined with their pathetic on-field behaviour when growing up means I can't imagine a team I'd like to beat more than this lot to end our drought. So I see it as the ideal final, and hopefully we'll manage to outnumber them at Wembley.

Based in the South-West, so will be travelling down to London early Sunday morning and staying the night. If there's one of those German fan style marches down in Central London, would love for it to happen and show them what it's all about.

It was right after half time when it was most disappointing tbh. On the TV you could hear a pin drop and I feel it was a big factor why Southampton were able to grow in confidence and knock it around for pretty much the entire half. Forget the entirety of second 45 minutes, if we could have unsettled them with some noise just in that first five to 10 minutes, it's possible that they would have got jittery and the complexion of that half would have different.

Away from Wembley, any meetup of our fans in Central will be unlike anything London has ever seen.

Okay, Cock and Lion will be full sure - anyone know of any other Toon strongholds?

He'll miss West Ham, Bournemouth and Liverpool, so all good for the final.

Yeah but come on, if we could play like Sunderland, we'd be 5-0 up.

Bloody hell, this is liquid football and then some

Let's crush these Tories

WHAT A FUCKING GOALLLLL

Nah, they've made a decision based on this: 'At a meeting of the NTCA’s cabinet at Newcastle Civic Centre, North of Tyne mayor Jamie Driscoll claimed there were “economic ramifications that don’t stack up” on the site, which was sold by former Magpies owner Mike Ashley. The Labour mayor later told the LDRS: “There are a number of issues about the economic viability of this, should we be subsidising the nature of the project, the housing. "I know there is a big public story about Newcastle United and the possibility to expand – I don’t know whether this would actually impinge on that or not anyway, that is a question for architects and engineers. But we have decided that we are not going to support the scheme, on its own merits, with public money.” The move will come as a welcome relief to NUFC supporters hoping for more positive news at St James' Park on transfer deadline day and came just a few hours before the second leg of the League Cup semi-final against Southampton.'

As much as I love and adore Shearer and Sir Bobby, KK is a more pivotal individual in our history so it's about time that we recognise the bloke whether through a statue or renaming the East Stand after him.

Fingers crossed we can get this over the line.

Cheers! Hopefully we see movement on it this summer.

Does anyone know if there has been any communication between fan groups and the owners about changing the lettering on the East Stand?

Nah, no empathy with that mob whatsoever. Everything that has been said about our fanbase is actually true of them, but they've been given a free pass and it's ticked me right off, especially with the way they've gone on on Twitter over the last decade about our club. They deserve a relegation and a few seasons down there, can't see their arrogance coming down, but them and their mates the Mackems can have fun together.

The riots that will ensue if they appoint Allardici again would be hilarious. I know people say he's got the knowhow to keep them up, but the toxicity of his appointment might be too much even for him.

Considering their sorry narrow minded home is the poster city for Brexit with all its lies, not hard to see that they have no shame in pushing this bullshit about Wor Flags.

Not to mention that Rangers got Boumsong on a free, and made a tidy profit just 6 months later - bloody outrageous. The transfer was investigated over corruption, wasn't it? Can't remember what the final result was, but even if nothing was proven, clearly some fishy goings on.

What is it with them throwing stuff onto the pitch? Bunch of primal animals.

I don't know if it's changed in the last hour, but I registered after the cutoff (after the draw was made), and I managed to get three tickets today.
