Maggies

Rewatched that earlier. Brought back so many emotions. Still can’t believe a captain of Newcastle United walked up those steps and lifted a trophy!

I thought he could play as it’s 6 days or so after the incident happened. I could be wrong though.

Interviews really well.

I’d take us needing to beat Everton at home to guarantee CL qualification. Proper end of season home fixture.

Thought I was going to be relaxed about the rest of the season. But - I don’t feel that way at all. Eddie’s call to focus on rest of the season applies to the fans tonight as well. Bring it on!!

Unreal that one of the best players in world football plays for us! Such a privilege to watch him play every week.

Not wrong at all, in my opinion. I loudly cheered when he lifted the cup at Wembley. He’s a key part of our success.

Started to get recommendations for videos in Thai. Forward the first half hour to the match and some good views of our end from the Liverpool section. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uzEo8ov9Dng

Excellent - so the event is hopefully just an extra. It’ll need ticketing to control the crowd (e.g. number of medics etc.). Feels like the club are going above and beyond with this - why the negativity?

Don’t most free events on this scale have to be ticketed? I wonder if there will also be a bus parade announced?

Great line from Tydesley at full time in that comms. ”No more talk of 1969, 2025 is the last year that Newcastle United won a major trophy”

Trying not to be too dramatic but… It feels like there’s a world pre 16/03/25 and a new world we’re living in. People who I have mourned and totally comfortably talking about, I can no longer think of without shedding a tear. It was a privilege to live through something they would have loved just as much. My heart feels bigger. Whatever comes next - so be it.

Willock/Tonali chest bump was celebrated like a goal!

It’s working quite well for Forest at the moment… Im also not sure they can enforce any PSR breaches moving forward as 2 of those years contain illegal APT rules.

Frustrating that he’s out for 8 more weeks when he’s already been out for 4 weeks since picking up the injury.

Best opportunity - Man Utd 23 2nd - Man Utd 99 (as they were resting players ahead of Euro final) 3rd = Arsenal 98 and Liverpool 25 I fancy us to score at least in this one.

Not yet.

He’s probably exhibit A when Mitchell was talking about how bad we’ve been at selling players.

Agreed - not sure what other Premier League team are as poor in the goalkeeper department. Maybe Ipswich. But even Southampton and Leicester have better options. Made worse by having a pair of slow and poor on the ball centre half’s in front of them.

Predictably pathetic

Definitely some recency bias, but Howe’s masterclass in the 2nd leg v Arsenal.

We’re better than Brighton so if we turn up we win. Even the league game earlier in the season we should have won. Whether we turn up (players and crowd) is another question all together.

Agreed. When you then add in Brentford (h), palace (h), West Ham (a) and Leicester (a) then we have a favourable set of fixtures for our run in. Hopefully 20 to 24 points from these games which should be enough for at least 5th.

I was 18,500 in the queue when I tried to access the site. Lets assume 1,000 tickets available. Odds of roughly 18/1 for getting a ticket I would guess at.

Forest pressed a lot better in the second half. Burn and Schar are hopeless when being pressed which then brings the midfield too deep and Isak gets isolated. None of this is helped by Pope being useless on the ball. The sooner Botman is fit the better. However… a win is a win. Liverpool game is a free hit ahead of a favourable fixture list of the run in.
