That period (COVIDball in the delayed end of 2019-20 and start of 2020-21) was my own personal NUFC supporting nadir. Actively chose not to watch that match at a time when there was nothing to do anyway with it being lockdown*. Football in general was dead to me in that time more or less. Only ever watched us out of a sense of duty later in the season. *Sort of. Kinda. I think. Was it the failed tier system then?

Potentially a 4th 5th Round tie against Blackburn in the last 11 times we've been at this stage.

Nice, but away again ffs.

No replays from 5th round onwards.

We'd play that fixture twice in 3 days if that's who we get, given we have them on 2nd March in the league.

Scenes no one everyone likes to see.

Yep. He's exciting as hell to watch. Can only improve and is a grafter off the ball as well. Really want us go for him.

Nico Williams at Bilbao has a release clause around £50m. We were linked to him by Douglas at the end of the summer window. He's the incredibly ideal replacement imo; age, output, work rate. But whether we'd go for that at this stage in the window...I'm unconvinced. But aye I fully agree. If we were to sell Almirón now we'd need his replacement/upgrade and the CM we really do need. Just can't see us getting both between now and the end of the window. Unless we gamble on getting just 1 of those.

I would like him upgraded upon and have done for a while but selling him now assuming that's what we're doing (may not even be true ) doesn't solve any immediate problems imo as we'd need to sign his replacement at RW and the CM we desperately need. In 4 days.

I kna. Lifting. 2022/23 lost 0-3 2021/22 lost 0-2 2020/21 lost 0-2 2019/20 lost 0-2 2016/17 drew 1-1 og(Elphick) (Ch) 2015/16 drew 0-0 2014/15 drew 0-0 2013/14 won 2-1 Ben Arfa, Gouffran

The last Newcastle player to score at Villa Park? Gouffran, September 2013.

5th round, gerrin. That performance in the first hour though.

Away end has been spectacular tonight.

Made it out. "Krafth and Dummett at the back Tino on the overlap Ritchie's staying 10 more years Geordie boys are on the beers"

Yeah. I can only make out that line and "Geordie boys are on the beers" after it. Dunno what the other lines are.

"Ritchie's staying 10 more years" ffs

Same. Feels weird.

Absolutely honking but winning. Gerrin

It's purely because we have no one else but the current midfield 3 just doesn't work.

Get in. Need Guardiola to bugger off soon as well.

One of the most important results in our recent history. https://youtu.be/gH1BrZHDga8?si=YjUGI2AodGewnpdG
