Superb post. 👏

If we don't finish above Forest AND Bournemouth then this season has been a failure? Is that what you are saying? Give me strength! 🤨

Mind games man!

Exactly. I'm a massive rugby fan (England of course). I listen to the Scottish anthem "Flower of Scotland" and I get a tingle down my spine, yet I have no Scottish blood in my body. When I hear the Wales anthem sung by the fans I'm in tears. The passion from the song and the fans comes across fantastically. If we could do that with Blaydon Races then I'm sure that I would be a gibbering mess.

This is exactly my thoughts. I thought we did ok. Best team won but it certainly wasn't the alamo or "Liverpool were in 1st gear" bollocks.

I actually said that to the wife last night ....... and I love Pope by the way.

I didn't really slag Michelle Collins off, I was just unimpressed with your taste. I'm not helping myself here am I?

Wow, how did I not know that? I apologise and I am impressed with your knowledge.

I said the same to my mate about Salah. He said "wasn't Salah superb last night"? I replied "I thought he was just alreet, in fact I don't think he got past Hall once". It just proves what the commentary can do to people's minds and thinking. The commentators were absolutely creaming their knickers everytime Salah received the ball. Ridiculous over the top commentary.

I can't stand Martin Tyler. He should have retired years ago.

I have actually "googled" makina treatment and I'm still non the wiser. Did I mention that I was an old fart?

I haven't even looked but it will definitely be you.

Old school same as me. I totally understand. We are starting a therapy group for like minded old farts.... Rod stands up, "I once sang shoes off if you love the Toon. I actually (starts sobbing) took my shoe off"..... lots of murmurs in the audience.

Exactly this. We will see a totally different Newcastle in the final. Arne Slot even knows this. He has just mentioned our great performance against them at home and suggested we played a different formation tonight to get them thinking.

You do realise that Fernandes plays for Man Utd?

It worked then. 😉

Whatever!

Nowt to do with us stopping that intensity like? Come on, give the lads some praise.

Complete nonsense.

Total bollocks. We have restricted them to two chances whilst we have had two half decent chances.

If we had more belief then we could get something here.

Eh? I'm staggered by that comment. He has to be the slowest footballer in the Premier League.

Got me there.

Of course it's precautionary. No way is Isak injured. Mind games man.

Oh yes he is. You don't know how this football psychology works do you?
