Even that night he scored twice

I can’t wait for their next home game. There’ll be nothing visible as such, but we’ll be able to detect the gloom, we’ll know

No Newcastle fans in North Shields, for example.

I suppose these days a three nil win at Sunderland would be one for the hipsters

Haha, edited!

The thing is. People like the Facebook poster got back on board (excuse the pun) when we were taken over. At the time, the dilemma was, ‘do you want to be owned by scumbags who will spend lots?’ The secondary dilemma though, which nobody considered because they were either preoccupied by the primary one or otherwise excited about the money and trophies, was, ‘do you want your club to be a hyper-commercial entity that makes decisions with little to zero regard for its core fanbase in order to build its international one?’ I am sorry but as somebody that wrestled with the implications of our ownership and was frankly disgusted by the fact that a big percentage of fanbase did not, I’m not going to join in now with those who were perfectly happy until it meant we didn’t get a bus parade though the city. This is our bed. Sunday was the best day of our lives.

We don’t half have some knackers support us like. The bus parade is now, deep down, what we all dreamt of when we won a trophy- and if we don’t have one we might as well not have bothered winning it. Of course this is an acceptable thing to attack the club’s owners for, not that other stuff that they get defensive about.

Haha, good point- you know what I mean though. It was such a class fucking weekend. More please!

Quite sad to think that this time last week I was a couple of hours away from it all beginning.

No alcohol, or not allowed to take your own alcohol in?

Find it very hard to believe that Tim Lovejoy was travelling away to Chelsea games in the 80s

Would be tempted to put Tonali in there too. Seems like he hasn't been mentioned as much as the others (not that it matters) but I thought he was incredible.

What does everybody think would have happened if it had went to ET? I honestly think we would have still won, but none of my friends agreed.

Yeah, was going to say pretty much this. Wouldn't it be considered a limitation for a cartoonist to be so reliant on long passages of words?

That’s going to be my abiding memory of our fans I think, because it was so mint and unexpected- just radge chaos. The twirling scarves were pretty but give me scenes like that every time. And…noise. Proper, guttural noise. Football noise.

ITVX have the whole thing, including build up and afterwards

Any pictures?

Can I start drinking yet?

Fuck off you stupid cunt

I'm on the 6pm train

Does that Bear lad get anything from posting there in a sort of ‘grrr you lot’ ruffled and grudging but ultimately affable manner? It seems like such a needy way to spend one’s time. Does he want to be liked by mackems?

Also a huge sign of intent from the owners. plastic wrapping tho

Just me that thinks that this sounds like pretty amazing news?

Anybody else still waiting for their posted out ticket?
