I'd get barca on the blower and swap him for de Jong and raphina. 

We don’t have a great record with de Jongs.

Forest on Boxing Day 

 thought the game you were referring to was months away or something. 
 

well the last time that back four played together away to a championshit team in red and white, we scored 8, trippier got a couple of assists and burn and Botman both scored. 

Just now, SUPERTOON said:

Hopefully goes better than the last time they played together 

What game w0z that?

No way Burn gets dropped for the derby.

I think so too like. Trippier, Schar, Botman and Burn. Back to the back four that served us so well.

Feel much better about that if he is. I know hes been a bit iffy lately but I think this is the type of game he excels in.

Course you are.

 

Put your knickers on, make yourself a nice cup of tea, and chill the fuck out.

When I first went to watch Newcastle at SJP when i moved up there as a student, I remember seeing Gascoigne, who was really unknown at that point, swanning around with that chest out and head back poise he had,  basically owning the pitch. Would have been start of 86-7 season.

 

I genuinely said to my mate on the day, that guy is going to be absolutely top class. You could see it then.

Still reckon we’re going to do the business tomorrow big man?

Usual suspects piss their pants, no? 

See. It’s no biggie. And Rod will be online after having a skinful so that’ll lighten the mood.

Losing an FA Cup would hurt a lot more than a bog standard league defeat.  We haven’t played these in the cup for nearly 70 years - it isn’t a ten-a-penny fixture.  We’re levels above right now - there is zero excuse not to go there and beat the cunts.

Totally agree. But if we do lose tomorrow I won’t be going to bed thinking about how we’ve not beaten them for 70 years in the cup. Just be another one to take on the chin and move on for me.

Nicknames are... bad.... names. They can be very hurtful. Not to me, it's like water off a duck's back.

The RTG lot don’t seem to respect you.

Got a feeling that despite myself and many others having had enough of Miggy, it's just the sort of match he'll end up becoming a toon legend in. 

You reckon? I’ve got visions of him ballooning a great chance over the bar from close range and then walking away with that daft grin on his face. 

Compared Aluko and Lucy Ward to Fred & Rose West last night. Now threatening to bray Gary Neville. He’s totally and utterly imploding.

Yeah when I say it’s a massive game I’m saying it as in it’s massive for fans. I’m not implying it’s massive for Howe and his future here.

Listen I’m trying to calm you down don’t throw it back in my face mate I’m the one who’s trying to help

1 minute ago, SUPERTOON said:

I’ll get absolutely rinsed by my mates at work 

Yep. And that’s it. That’s all it boils down to. Getting the mickey taking out of you. Not such a big deal when you really grind it down.

Massive in terms of the potential to inject confidence in the team again, massive for many fans, not massive in terms of a standalone game. I’m less worried about the result and more worried about people’s reactions to it if we lose in all honesty 

Same. Derbies of years gone by were more a relegation battle, this isn’t. If we get beat yep it’ll be embarrassing but so what? We’re on an upward trajectory and in a few years we’ll be levels above. It’s not as if we’re going to lose to them forever.

Dreading this now, I know some disagree, but this is a massive game.

If we get beat what’s the worst that will/can happen?

I’m hoping thats sarcasm 

Your hopes are correct.

Just now, dcmk said:

Not using it or allowing it to be an excuse was how I interpreted it.  

Worrying. Running the players into the ground and then not taking responsibility for it. 

18 minutes ago, Yorkie said:

 

 

Not sure how to take his comments about running on empty.

Is he saying the players aren't running on empty, or that he's just not using that as an excuse? 

Did Howe given any soundbites in his presser to help calm our nerves?

Times saying Mowbray close to Birmingham job.

Just now, The College Dropout said:

Yep - we have too. 

Botman, Bruno & Isak. If our spine is on form then I think we'll do it. Not sure whether it'd be best to but Joelinton CM or LW?

Just now, The College Dropout said:

It won't have been "natural". It's the same driving force as City & Chelsea that is capped by FFP.

 

We'll use some of the same mechanisms they both now use to maintain their advantage - esp. build one of the best academy's in world football, sign the best youngsters in world football, sell them at massive profits. That wouldn't have been natural.

You fancy Newcastle to do the business the morra big man?

Mixed.

 

I think we will give you a decent game, I just hope our young lads don't either lose their heads or just completely shit themselves.

 

The atmosphere will be heightened, Alot of people are frustrated and angry, but that will hopefully channelled in making the ground as hostile as possible. Fans don't have an issue with the players, they've gave us a decent few seasons since promotion from L1 and they're all a committed bunch.

 

First goal crucial, Still expect you to have too much quality but you never know.

Mixed as well. One minute I'm convinced we'll be professional and win with a solid performance, the next minute I think we'll continue our bad run of form.
