Wolfcastle

Willow-ays give the other team a chance

Part of me wants the preserve the specialness of our 5-0 part of me wants these destroyed

If Ashley's regime tried its utmost, Man United is what it would have looked like. He even failed at trying to be shit a few times and had to punish Hughton, Pardew and Rafa accordingly

Keepers scoring against them, fans migrating from one stand to the next, crisp packets everywhere, what sort of Hackney marshes bullshit is this?

Impressed and thankful given how he wasn't battle-tested last week. More fine business by the club.

Newcastle United vs. Manchester City - 21/8/22 @ 4:30pm (Sky Sports)

Disappointing again if I'm being greedy.

Anderson will play against Tranmere. Still wont be any place to judge him re the PL but might get a sniff at Wolves if all goes well. Can only afford to loan him out if more players come in given what's ahead of him.

Agree, they had the amount of chances you'd expect a home team to have. Its just it was the lions share in this game.

Pretty shat that. But in perspective they'll be feeling blue that a rival for the top half has taken a point off them and is in the box seat Think that's where were at - Brighton's level of bang midtableness. Few recruits could alter that. *will never expect anything but a naff game there from now. Just got to accept it at this point. Every single one has been rank

Every game against these there lifts

Got our hallmark bid package about it. Lot of smoke.

Anybody hear Total Sport? They're going to stop fans 'migrating' (rich irony) from stand to stand at their ground now because of the trouble it causes. I've never seen that at a competitive game outside of pub football, just Morton in a friendly when it started lashing down and people went under the roofed stand to the right. Massive club though

Usually games against Brighton are horrific famous last words but don't have those vibes about this one.

Is the increase in shirts not to do with, you know, it being summer and really hot?

No CL teams in the League Cup and everyone's happy.

The fair comparison is to look at all attendances not just selective exceptions to the rule. Which is why they don't look at those. Its not even competitive. Mackems getting excpetions and rules inverted again.

Aye amazing how he could legit get kicked in the head against Birmingham when Keegan was manager and stay on, concussed for the rest of the game but slink off at half-time citing a headache pre Keegan.

Course they're counting draws. And its even more absurd than that because they don't count the ones we got in a 9 games 6 win streak against them in the 00s.

potential first Tranmere Newcastle tie on Sky since the infamous 6-6 draw in the ZDS (on my birthday)

That's in the pisser category for me. Away game at a team we've played in the cups a bunch of times (since I've been going).

Going out in a cup preliminary round yet again. How embarrassing (or would be if anybody cared, its strangely unnoteworthy when this massive clubs keeps suffering that fate)

Sheffield Wednesday wouldn't surprise. Had a spate of getting teams a round after they'd knocked them out in the 90s. Somebody interesting at home would be agreeable. Shame all the little local lower leagues clubs are out bar Boro.

Wouldn't mind a Martin Hardy Touching Distance style book on either season. Or an N.O version of it, everyone's daft little memories of the games, KK's post match comments etc. Was just writing about the first point at Man U the other day, so this is very pertinent. Am so watching tht MOFO this week.

Would have picked Carlisle at home if I could have. Local-ish team, first for me. Is that just me or did (We Want) The Same Thing?
