We’ve got a great record in SFs. We’ve got through 16 of the 20 we’ve been in prior to this season (major competitions only)

I’m amused at NUFC supporters juggling in their head who they want in the final due to the disappointments of the past while seeming blissfully unaware that we still have to actually finish the job against a really good Arsenal side. The most NUFC thing ever wouldn’t be to lose to Spurs in a final; it would be to lose 2-0 at home to Arsenal and go out on pens

Liverpool have looked a bit ‘off the boil’ last couple of games to me, plus the three key players now in Bosman territory. I’m probably completely wrong, but I can see a sticky patch coming for them.

If we get through it’s a hard final whoever we play. Let’s get there first and worry about that at the time.

Wonder if Ange will complain that a player who should have been off scored?

Bergvall should be off for that.

‘I’ve got a call that will get on your nerves…’

Introduced for the SFs - ref now has to explain calls to the crowd

That looks like a really poor call

Don’t know how Spurs don’t score there. Other than being shite

I know the answer! It’s because ‘the Saudis’ have bribed the opposition / referee / PL, right?

Tbf N-O and RTG are surely the only places on the internet where Isak and Ross Stewart have been mentioned in the same paragraph. I can’t even believe I have them in the same sentence - it’s absolutely laughable crack.

He’d be a poor man’s Jimmy Rimmer (there’s one for the kids)

He’s got Arteta’s number, hasn’t he?

He still offers something different in midfield for us. The lad has had a hard time with injuries and is rusty. I’m more concerned with whether or not he can ever maintain fitness rather than the odd sub par performance.

‘I see the daft cunt next door is being emotive for likes again’

Ever blame the ball, King? @Alan Pardew

Rooney doesn’t seem like he’ll ever learn that management isn’t right for him. He’s like a dog repeatedly returning to its own sick

We didn’t win 11 in a row in all competitions in 92/93. We had a few draws in the cups during that run (League Cup and the much-missed Anglo-Italian)

‘Might as well put the £150m back in the bank, lads’ What planet are these cunts on?

I honestly don’t know why they do it to themselves - I don’t tune in to laugh at shit mackem sides; I’m fucked if I’d tune in to watch a really good one

I’m guessing that they’re doing the standard Mackem juggle between ‘Arsenal are fucking shit man’ and ‘Arsenal divvunt care aboot the Mickey Mouse Cup’

Yep, add me to that list. That Hornby-inflected writing style just bores me.

Haha fucking radgepacket

Great that. Nee idea how Tonali wasn’t given MOTM, though Hall and BDB just behind him for me.
