Two. Fabian. Schar.

No. And for what it’s worth, I have done the opposite. Been in their end at Etihad with my rabidly City supporting son giving me dog’s abuse all the way through and telling everyone who cared to listen that I was a Newcastle fan ?‍♂️

Something niche like, first time one of the teams had 0 corners?

If you’re referring to my comment, I meant stretching ourselves financially (to future detriment of planned targets available in the summer) in January to pursue the outside chance of Champions League again. Could see them deciding to see where we get to this season with what we’ve got and recruiting in the summer. Hope they don’t but wouldn’t be surprised, as I don’t think there is the urgency from PIF that the media are pushing.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they just take what we can in terms of cup progression, write-off this season, save further signings for summer targets, and return to the original planned timeline; which possibly had Champions League next year. I would be disappointed though.

Tell you what, that brings out the worst in me. All the adolescences, and fat fucks, aggressively posturing… even the frankly despicable barracking of Amanda Staveley, barely raised my blood pressure. Just triggered a kind of bemused disappointment. Taking the memory of the tragic death of such a good man to points score/have a pop… makes me want to inflict extreme violence.

What the absolute feck is going on in here! ?

Given our cup ‘portfolio’ of pain (…and joy!) thus far, I foresee lower league/ranked teams at home in every round. Then someone beatable in semis and final. Yes please and thank you very much.

? Hadn’t seen it. Good stuff; but they are not having it that Howay is one (albeit truncated) word. Last four paragraphs: HWTL

? or Bob Paisley’s older brother!

Or 50-50 ⚖️?

Sweet as cherry pie, easy like a Sunday morning ?

Howay man Jinky, don’t make me swear at you. Excellent dominant Derby/cup tie performance. You’re my first ever favourite player! Your trophy shop on Barrack Road was shite though!

Spot on. Could be fucking carnage.

Classy.

I really enjoyed Pat Nevin’s book The Accidental Footballer, great into the era (football and music wise).

He’s going to get sent off isn’t he?

Hold your nerve, chaps. He is a very good leader.

Protective screen for the telly? (…just in case )

Primitivo and Chianti, lots of Primitivo ok and Chianti. And avoid one-legged News Vendors.

Nah. It is too important for us season wise. And by that I mean turn around in form and staying in FA Cup more than local rivalries. Home advantage will not be what it should be given the number of fans we are taking and the fact their players will be far less used to playing in such a raucous atmosphere/are more likely to be negatively affected than ours. Can’t see us doing a Sheffield Utd or first 20 minutes of Spurs at home, but also can’t see us losing.
