It can do you in - wondering about socks midmatch etc. So appreciate your taking full responsibility for this one.

Its not going to happen but with Wolves favourable run in its at least plausible - Fulham's the highest placed team they've got left to face. They're not finishing bottom - if there's decent odds on that.

Sat in the East Stand for nearly 20years on that back of superstition. Having not seen us win from February-October I sat there and saw us win three on the bounce and Keegan came back a few month later too. Still haven't got credit for any of it.

Second time we've played Barca with a Quarter-Final place at stake. If Yamal remains a booking away from suspension from a potential QF I shudder to think what it'd take for him to get booked.

At least its "protetcing the smaller clubs" as these rules were sold on, apropos of nothing, how's Sheffield Wed, Leicester and Bury getting on these days?

I'd rather have beaten Benfica than these a few days later back in 2013. Europa League semi and every chance of a final or beating them again.

Was at Norrie McAthie's Testimonial in 1990, my first ever away game. 0-0 draw. Loved it.

I expect the king on any moment now, referencing that. Told Cisse to shoot I heard.

Was very much in the no injuries, nothing silly, get it over with camp but got reeled right in. Got to thinking how it was like going to an Anglo-Italian cup or ZDS game not planning on getting too invested but you always did.

Atalanta obviously and Spurs this side of getting a new manager bounce but wouldn't be surprised at any of the others being turned around or at least still competitive deep into the second legs.

Been far too many comebacks from three goal defecits in Europe to think that way.

The Hall on pitch i/v is on the tube - titled Newcastle vs Barcelona 1-1 Heartbreak!

Woke up this morning with a right pang of "bastard, so close" angst. The shock of the end and the satisfaction with the performance and occasion must have blocked it out last night.

They've such a small time attitude like. Couldn't even complete the thought "I cant believe they really think this" before I realised its mackems were dealing with and they probably do Cannot imagine any other set of fans even pretending to be happy with their rivals competing with Barcelona to get to the Champions League Quarter-Finals. I'd not be happy if Barcelona even acknowledged their existence or for them to play a Conference League preliminary game at some point in the next 50years.

Was referencing the Kinnear interview where he claimed to have signed Krul, several years before Kinnear was even at the club.

Kinnear did great at Wimbledon. Its ironic though. Tudor gives Kinsky's the start in Europe that ends his career, whilst Kinnear gave Krul his debut in Europe that started his career.

Many a side has overturned a 3goals defecit in Europe. Bet none of them had the same lack of heart as this club does though.

Couldn't ask any more from us. Excellent team performance. Made all the better and crueler for the individual limitations of some of the players.

Yamal being incorrectly allowed to play the second-leg is bound to cost us.

l'equipe summary: Barcelona snatches a draw with the air of a robbery Manhandled by the generous and collectively solid Magpies, Barcelona, apathetic offensively (2 shots on target), carried out a heist by snatching a draw at St James Park

Forgot to add - plus swimming uphill against another cuntly ref

With what we have, what's out injured, Gordon ill before the game, to nevertheless dominate the game and take a deserved lead 1-0 would have been scant enough reward for the efforts but we'd have had a famous victory on the night but to not even have that in the cruelest manner imaginable!?!

Classic tight latter stage European Cup stuff (sort of thing I enjoy). Dodgy arribitro

He did, Southampton away that season. (Probably Mabbutts testimonial too if were including friendlies)

An unappreciated unforeseen development there then, knew something was missing
