  1. We will definitely be the team in Pot 4 those in the other pots will be wanting to avoid. I'm definitely not saying we would beat the likes of Bayern, Real Madrid etc at home, but we have a fighting chance of making it very competitive in a one off game with a bouncing St James'. I know the stats show it was more down to sheer luck, but I remember Celtic beating Barcelona back in 2012 at home. I'm sure they had like 16% possession but they went 2-0 up (I think)
  2. Fair enough, I just assumed it was against the rules these days. Ahh well crack on then, £35m a season to match Spurs' seems fair, giving we're in the elite competition and they aren't!
  3. It would be crazy to use a company owned by PIF imo. Just asking for trouble.
  4. I actually agree with Neville & Carragher last night to be fair. Granted Man City are structured to have success for years to come now, but I don't think they would be as dominant (5/6 titles) without Guardiola. They'd definitely be there or thereabouts every season, but they're absolutely relentless with him there. Crazy to think Liverpool got 97, 99 and 92 points and only won one title in there. Will definitely be interesting when he leaves. Wouldn't be shocked if they went for Arteta.
  5. Late summer is when it's said to come out. FFS I wanted to get my fix during the lean months with no football Mind what a season they chose. I know it's not the same as All or Nothing or STID but at least we get a happy ending compared to the recent Arsenal one and of course the hilarious Sunderland one.
  6. I'd take literally anybody. Not arsed if truth be told, but personally I'd sooner have the likes of Real Madrid and Bayern. All about the memories, and I don't doubt we'd be competitive too, although a 'weaker' team from Pot 3 would be welcome so we could at least get 3rd place worst case and drop into Europa. Dream group; Dortmund Real Madrid Crvena NUFC
  7. Delighted Liverpool didn't lose on Saturday. If you could pick to do it yourselves, at home, under the lights - you'd take it every time. Also for me, as the resident 'bed-wetter', having Liverpool breathe down our necks definitely made qualification feel 10x better. Human nature permits us all to want it done ASAP, but this way feels better, just like the Brighton game felt better scoring late to secure the win, rather than be 3/4-0 up and they score a consolation. Everything about this season has just been perfect. I've no doubt a trophy is on the horizon in the next few years. Delighted for the kids who'll grow up supporting a Newcastle that will consistently be challenging at the top of the table and for trophies. My adult years were poisoned by that cockney nonce, over the moon for the next generation of fans.
  8. I'm so, so happy that it doesn't come down to this game. Sold my ticket and train yesterday - not because I didn't want to go, but the lad I gave it to hasn't been away since we've been taken over so happy to save the money ready for a (couple) of European aways next season. Whilst it would be lovely to round off my favourite ever season following Newcastle with a win, I really wouldn't be against giving some of the fringe players a game. Saying that, it would be nice to finish ahead of Man Utd, but I think they'll win both of their games. Definitely think we should get Bruno booked in for his op asap, and it would be nice to give Miley a run out at some point. 2-2.
  9. Aye Brentford away for me too is when I started to think 'shit, we definitely should do this'. Crazy to think that Forest game was this season man. Seems fucking ages ago when Schar scored that goal, but that performance really did set the tone. We battered them from minute one that day. Most important game for me was Wolves (H). Won't be remembered as such but it was the first win in a while, a poor game all things considered and we could have been down to 10 in the first half. Favourite game was Man Utd at home. Equally as dominant as the Spurs game just without the goals. Special shoutout to Leicester (A) after the World Cup as we carried on where we left off, which people were saying might not happen.
  10. Announce new contract. Announce ankle operation.
  11. Apologies if this is bringing the tone down a bit, but I’m pisssed, emotional and extremely happy right now. We should all remember the friends and family who didn’t make it this far. Dads, grandads, brothers and sisters - all whose final memories of NUFC was the shell of a club Mike Ashley created. This one is for them. Newcastle United are back for good. It’s fucking mint.
  12. I thought he did delay the music on Thursday a bit to be fair, I was thinking someone might have had a word.
  13. My money is on Status Quo.
  14. To be fair I’ve been to Naples before with the Mrs, it was edgy as fuck even on an afternoon imo, but the pizza was mint so it depends what you’re after really.
  15. I’d love a sunny one in September, like. The 3 I went to were pretty cold. Lisbon for Benfica was areet but nippy on an evening. I want to be in an away end, full of it, top off continuing to give us Brits a bad name on the continent.
  16. One of our players checked with the linesman too, I think it was Almiron, and gave a little fist pump so I reckon he'd had the nod all was good. Still shit myself until they kicked off like.
  17. Save it for Monday mate, although I can't like I was a little emotional when Bruno scored. So, so close to achieving something I never thought possible in my life.
  18. I think I celebrated Wilson's goal more when they kicked off knowing it wasn't getting VAR'd By the way, when the whole Gallowgate is standing like it was for the final 5 last night is incredible. I know it's fairly rare but I wish we'd do it more for the bigger games but all game rather than for 10 minutes.
  19. If we start this like we started the Man U, Spurs & Brighton games it could be anything we want, tbh. Even I of all people struggle to see how we don't get the job done here. They're done.
  20. I despise Liverpool like. They are the most entitled bunch of cunts in England for sure, and that's saying something given Man Utd exist. Everything is about them, like literally everything. Even going back to that Suarez incident - cunts. They still had to act all us against the world then. Hope they win all 9 games and we play the bairns at Chelsea just to rub it in. Fuck Klopp. Fuck scousers. Fuck merseyside and especially fuck Liverpool Football Club.
  21. Player of the year for me. Always 100% committed even on his down-days. An absolute monster and an almighty turnaround from laughing stock to someone who can genuinely grow into a club legend from cult hero. Fucking love him. Hopefully Monday is his last game and give him an early summer.
  22. I’ve always wondered how Man Utd & Liverpool have such a creative and extensive songbook. Like how do they get them universally sang consistently throughout their fanbase? We should sing some of the Geordie folk songs imo. The end of Big River and parts of I’m coming home Newcastle should be incorporated into the songbook but how to do it is the question. I might be wrong but I think what helped with Liverpool in recent years is they have/had a city centre venue that Jamie Webster played at. I’m sure he’s the one who started their version of ‘allez allez allez’ the Van Dijk song. Would be good, as it’s been mooted, if we could create a fan park sort of thing in Strawberry place or somewhere else. Get a young local lad with a guitar and songs will be born. But aye, last night was class. Emotional if owt else.
