League Cup Trophy Celebration: Saturday 29th March
Iwantcurlyhair2 replied to Nobody's topic in Football
Registered our interest. I'm taking part in everything I can and enjoying every single part of it, even booked a days holiday. Should be no negativity. Every thing Sela done has been professional and entertaining. Really looking forward to it. -
Hope there's phone signal on Wembley Way

It's going to be an interesting end to the season. After having next weekend off we have 7 games in 8 weeks. If we can get momentum we can achieve 3rd and who knows whether or not Birmingham or the Lionesses will struggle in the run in. With the financial backing and the manager they have, I think the lionesses may well do it but their final fixture is against Birmingham. If we beat both of them at home it could be a really interesting finish to the season. We put together a winning run and who knows. Why I'm still optimistic after St James yesterday I have no idea!!!!! Up to now I think the lasses, even though new to the league, have under achieved. The last 5 minutes against both Durham and Charlton have probably cost us promotion. To be still in it with 2 months to go is tremendous for our first season and we still haven't hit the levels I expected. If they can only click for the last 2 months, then we could all be on 41 points going into the final game with them playing each other.

And bringing Zorb racing back at half time

Incredibly Sky changing the Mens Man Utd match to the Sunday means it now clashes with the lasses. Third time this season.

There needs to be a radical shake up in my opinion. Having 22 games a season means there are 3-4 week gaps between matches and it just doesn't work. There are 12 teams in the wsl and 11 in the championship and after that there is north and south. Although a lot of teams would need additional funding the only way to grow the women's game would be to have at least two 18 team national leagues and have it supported by either the TV companies, the FA or the premier league. Preventing fixture clashes of both the men and women, like this weekend, doesn't help either. Until there is a 36 game league and has proper TV marketing it will struggle. I love watching the lasses but 10 games on my season ticket and missing 2 for men's clashes is ridiculous over a 9 month season.

He's one of our own! -
Take Amber out the team and we would really struggle. Not really happy with the progress any signing has made since promotion
-
Anyone else had an email yesterday confirming winning a £100 voucher for Stack and then receiving another one today saying sorry you haven't, we have a glitch. I suppose if they honoured the emails we wouldn't be able to sign anyone this month.
-
Anyone heard anything on the twitter rumours that he's signed for Everton for £15M
-
Hope Amber Keegan Stobbs hasn't decided to move on. She's asked for info on house removal / storage companies with Ed Sheeran "Take me back to London" playing. Will be a massive miss if she is.
-
Blackburn game postponed on Saturday due to rearranged Blackburn FA Cup tie. Hopefully the new fixture won't clash with the men.

Heron, for tomorrow can we just do heads or tails to take the pressure off Bruno at the coin toss. The excitement of kicking towards the Leazes in the first half will be the equivalent of a 3 goal lead. We could embrace social media if Toon Polls could get involved and let twitter decide which way Wor Flags display needs to go and it would be a massive pressure off Bruno's shoulders. The boost in winning the toss will swing it tomorrow. If we win the toss Liverpool won't know what's hit them!!!!!! There was an audible groan at the West Ham game when the teams switched ends. Its a win win. Guaranteed 3 points and social media onboard if we win and not on Bruno if we lose. Hope it's heads. He must be bricking it now on the coin toss. -

In my opinion Wor Flags are beyond reproach regarding the Liverpool display , whether by match going fans or twitter clowns. The effort and work they do is phenomenal so if they want to delay the Keegan display to support the team, because they (and I) feel they need it, then I'm fully behind it. If any fan dares to complain about it, despite the weeks, days and hours they put in for each display, then they can keep the complaints until the 75th minute and discuss with their 'mates' as they leave the ground early for no effin reason and then **** off and never come back. My £2 per month is my favourite direct debit by a country mile. Wor Flags effort is unbelievable yet a percentage of our current St James attending fan can't be arsed to support the team till the end. Anyone who leaves before the end, unless for a family emergency or work necessity, should be banned for several games or have their membership revoked. -

The crowd last night, after their goal, was as bad as I have known. The first around me left at 78 minutes and it started an exodus. What was worse it was both season ticket holders and single ticketers. Continuous groans throughout. Unbelievable after the Wor Flags display. Was expecting Wings to let it down but it was phenomenal. My £2 a month is tremendous value for money. It's a shame that about 40000 are happy for the atmosphere to be down to others. The crowd brought us back when we were 4 nil down at home to Arsenal. If it happened again we'd get stuffed 10 nil. -
They could play at 12 to give time for the metro across
-
The Blackburn match has been changed from Sunday 15th December to the Saturday and now clashes with the men playing Leicester. What a crazy, stupid decision. Having 2 teams playing at the same time is ridiculous.

They were a class apart but losing both our centre backs Potts and Cooper before hand obviously didn't help. Great crowd for a cup match and the crowd kept going. Liverpool apparently gave free tickets and coach travel for season ticket holders which meant the biggest away support I've seen at Kingston Park. Amber Stobbs yet again the best player by a mile when she came on.
-
Yes, I'll be there. Hopefully put in a good performance. Does anyone know any other scores in our mini league other than the Everton draw and penalty loss?

I'm one of the fortunate ones who took out the 10 year deal and I'm only paying £294 for level 7 for each of my 2 tickets. When my daughter turned 21 the club told me I'd have to move or buy another child ticket so I bought one for my grandson 4 months prior to takeover which costs £86. Prior to the '10 year deal' which I think is in its 14th year now I took out the 3 year pay up front offer which reduced ticket prices by 30% and before that the 20% reduction by committing to 3 years of renewals. I am fully aware that my ticket costs will at least double and maybe more so, but just feel really fortunate that I have the tickets secured for my daughter and grandson, whatever the cost is. Whether we stay or move the ride we are on is worth every penny. The euphoria when we win something that I can share in the moment with two different generations of my family is priceless. I love St James and have so many memories but the first time I walk in to the new stadium and feel 5 years old again will be off the stratosphere. I took my daughter to the opening of Wembley in 2007 and she ended up on the front cover of the daily mirror which create an everlasting memory, but to walk into a new stadium with potentially 80000 fellow Newcastle fans will be a memory I will cherish, alongside our Caribou Cup win in 2025, till my dying day. To me football is not only about the present and future, but the lifelong memories created along the way. I have loads of wonderful St James Park memories, but I'm happy to create new ones in Leazes Park. I was at the Stack night on Wednesday and the location was described as not to far to snap an elastic band so that can only mean Leazes Park. We should all get behind the move and create as many memories as we can to share with as many people as possible. Unbelievably this was over 17 tears ago and she still comes with me. I just love it, love it!! Lets have loads of seats and create as many memories to share with those closest to us. We should all be behind this. We all have tremendous memories of the Keegan days, Man U, Barcelona, Tiote's equaliser, PSG etc and they won't fade. But the creation of new ones, in hopefully the best stadium on the planet whilst walking post Eddie's statue every matchday as the first manager to win a trophy, will be equally exciting. Bring it on.

Out of interest, is anyone else going to St James on Sunday for the Southampton game
-
Tried watching both games together and spoilt both of them!!!!!!!!! The lasses not at the races today. No cutting edge and, for most of the game, devoid of ideas. Fortunately with the London lionesses losing we haven't lost any ground. 2 points off the top if we win our game in hand. Very tight and all to play for but need to start to come up with some patterns to open defences.
