Without wanting to jinx it, the title race just got a wee bit spicier this weekend:

There is no safe standing in Uefa competitions.

Absolutely not - we are among the top teams for all sorts of different stats, while that was so obviously a fluke which this bloke alludes to: I mean from memory, how many games did we actually dominate that year? West Brom away, Stoke home? Some good results in there away at Stoke and at home to Man Utd and Liverpool, but come on, it's not like we had some long term progressive style of play.

Totally worth the £19 million.

I remember Ashley putting out a statement in the lead up to that game with something like, 'What price us reaching that elusive Top 6?' Aye you bastard, you employed JFK for precisely that goal.

Inshallah.

What did he have for brekkie? Mind you, if we get three points tomorrow, he'll be back to his old tune.

Man U players looking tired here; a similar game next week please and we'll be laughing.

Thank god they didn't plonk Bowyer down there to form the unholiest of all trinities.

Did Dyer just say that if we have made a dodgy signing, that it's Isak? Dafuq is he smoking?

I want an NUFC equivalent of this.

Fuck it, this kid's a fucking star.

To be honest, I'd rather the rest of their players were knackered by playing the extra game than worrying about Casemiro.

And all of that to finish 7th a couple of times.

Do the grey seats bother anyone? I just think we can make SJP more homely if we go for black seats like Derby have, with perhaps some seats in white showing NUFC and the like.

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.
