With the fixture congestion that would be absolute insanity - and I don’t think Barcelona or Chelsea need a message from us. They know who we are and what to expect.

He made some canny saves - Pope had one simple save to make and made a bollocks of it

Need Burn and Joelinton to get booked and wrap this up

Haha fucking hell Osula man

Those five years on Wearside had some use

No.

Is there a google translate for Mackem? Read that three times and still no idea what is being said

I think we’ll get another!

Oof get in Murphy lad

We’ll get more here regardless

These are the weakest side we’ll play this season and I include Bradford in that.

NUFC has multiple gears to step back through and these are catastrophically shite. We could lose this 6-5 (not going to happen) and we’d still stuff them in the home leg.

Playing our full strength side while 5-0 up - they’ve taken their foot completely off the pedal. Which makes sense - and also why you make a load of subs at Ht.

Nick Pope not playing to the whistle pays off …

For the xG lovers, BBC reckons Carrier Bag’s xG is 0.0 so far

Nah, Trippier has acted a cunt there.

Unprofessional by Trippier. Ridiculous.

I take back what I said before the match. These would struggle in the old third division, not the old second division.

The Tricolore was a beaut like

Almost exactly the shot from the title shot from the first series of Blackadder:

The adidas Telstar Durlast remains the greatest of all for me. Love watching the ball spinning crosses and shots from the ‘70 and ‘74 WCs with these bad boys. A true design classic, beautiful in its simplicity

Totally agree, if this was an FA Cup game there would always be the nervous thought at the back of the head - owt can happen. Second bite of the cherry should mean going through - no excuses. I don’t either 👍 I’m going for a 3-1 win here. Eddie’s mags to maintain their impeccable away record* *over the last week or so

No intent of bad faith - the reason there’s a correlation is because wages are linked to the players you can sign. There’s not a single Qarabag player who a single person on here would be happy to see NUFC run off and buy tomorrow. Being knocked out by these would not be a shoulder-shrug moment.

There weren’t many grumbles on Tyneside either re the prospect of a move away from SJP. The sentimental element seems to be a very, very recent thing.

Shame for the lad, but that has to be it re NUFC. He ended up as a much better squad player thanks to Howe than he ever looked likely to be under Bruce.
