Stoke (a) in the FA Cup - Pre-Match thread

If we put enough pressure on them by chasing and hassleing them they will crack and give us a chance. I would play a high tempo, high pressure game and try to beat them that way.

 

Fucking hell, anyone would think we were the Championship side reading that.

Just hope this isnt a repeat of Brum last year :(

 

A draw?

 

I'll be fucked off if we've got to take them back to St James' Park and try and fit in another fixture in, amongst the quagmire that is January.

F**cking well said NUFC.com:

 

And now, a partly political broadcast on behalf of the Tyneside reality party.

 

Take this as a rallying call - fans, players, whoever.

 

A place in the Fourth Round come 8pm Sunday would be a colossal boost to us - and a massive disappointment to those legions of national and local media leeches who continue to stick the boot into this club and its fans. 

 

Let's hope they all end up with SWEET FA.

 

Support your team and wear those colours with pride.

This is the FA Cup. This is important.

I wouldn't. All cup games are free :D

If When we win Sam should go on the BBC after the game & say something like " You came here for a cup upset, the big story of the weekend & we have spoilt it by winning, on behalf of Newcastle United thanks for the TV & see you in the next round."

can't say I agree with that like.  We've had a mediocre season.  As I've said.  If we're going to get rid, Do it in the summer.  I also dont get the "loads of money from Ashley" bit.  SA has had to sell to create a large part of his kitty thus far, so why will Ashley all of a sudden spend like a kid in a sweet shop?

Even our second team should win this. So I'm not that bothered.

 

Stoke are quite on par with Derby. I wouldn't be so confident, I think we'll do it, but it won't be a walkover

Lee Ryder's also having his say.

 

We're pig sick of Ronnie Radford man!

They can't wait can they?

 

The minute the draw was made they just couldn't wait to arrange for the TV cameras to make it a date in Stoke on a Sunday night.

 

Just like they did at Hereford, just like they at Stevenage and just like they did at Yeading, they did it at Peterborough too and they are doing it all over again!

 

I think they see it, yet again, as a banana skin tie.

 

Yeah, yeah I know, romance of the cup and all that goes with it and I know that the cameras will be at Luton for the Liverpool games as well as Burnley for the visit of Arsenal

 

But is it just me or does the rest of the country just love watching Newcastle United and the Geordie public suffer?

 

We can all put our hands up and say that Newcastle have been poor at times this season.

 

And after going a goal down in the last SIX away games it's not a surprise that away fans have took delight in chanting "you are getting sacked in the morning" to Big Sam.

 

But this problem of fans, not just down the A19, taking delight of knocking the Magpies and waiting to see us fall runs pretty deep.

 

In modern history it was petrified Manchester United fans - previously scared they were about to lose to a team playing the best football the world had ever seen - gloating that they'd pipped us to the title in 1996 with chants of "we saw you cry on the telly" but beyond that nobody has been allowed to forget Ronnie Radford's goal for Hereford in the FA Cup in 1972.

 

In fact the Radford goal is shown more times than anything related to our total of SIX FA Cup wins - it's rammed down our throats isn't it?

 

They conveniently ignore the fact that we are still in the top five of the Premier League table since it started, forget the fact that we've got the best fans in the world and don't even mention we gave the world Shearer, Gazza, Chrissy Waddle, Peter Beardsley, Sir Bobby Robson, Milburn, Broon Ale, The Tyne Bridge, a watering hole to have your stag/hen do in the shape of the Bigg Market, the Metro Centre, Sting, the Evening Chronicle, Viz, Byker Grove, The Blaydon Races or the Great North Run!

 

No they all mean nowt to the doom merchants out there, just put on a clip of Ronne Radford to sum us lot up, I mean would you credit it?

 

I mean I wasn't even born for the Radford goal and I feel like I was there on that muddy pitch and wearing one of those stupid coats!

 

You watch before the Stoke game, Ronnie Radford all over again - just like Stevenage - just like Yeading, or any other FA Cup game that we stand a chance of being "humiliated" in.

 

We don't actually hear a squeak from Stevenage these days although I have to say I always have a wry smile on my face every time I go past it on the train to London.

 

I mean why not? It's my moment.

 

After all the whole country got behind the plucky southereners and it was such a "disgrace" that after trying every dirty trick in the book to beat Newcastle they went out to a Shearer goal that didn't cross the line! What a shame.

 

Then you have Yeading. Who? Oh yeah the other team the whole country got behind and a nice easy home game for the BBC cameras but it was Newcastle who went through - and we even had Boumsong and Babayaro playing!

 

So now we have to go through it all again on Sunday with the whole country baying for our blood at the Britannia Stadium to see if Stoke can dump us out!

 

Oh it won't be as big a "humiliation" as say Hereford but remember Wolves in 2003 the BBC describe on their website today still as an FA Cup classic.

 

Well, love him or hate him, Craig Bellamy actually got it right that night.

 

Remember? After being beaten 3-2 and suffering the taunts of the Wolves fans - who sent the national Press into a frenzy that night - Bellers simply responded to the taunts by pointing at the Premier League badge on his shirt and mouthing "Premiership."

 

And what division are Wolves still in?

 

Oh I know it sounds like sour grapes but just why does everyone apart from the Geordie public want to see this trophy drought go on and on.

 

And if you think I'm paranoid, you watch if we go a goal down, the cameras will be straight over to our fans and zooming in order to tee up the commentator for something along the lines of "Is it another year of waiting for this lot."

 

We haven't been giantkilled too many times in the FA Cup but you'd think we'd gone out to minor opponents every year.

 

So the message to the players this time around is, let's give Stoke a proper hammering and try to show the great British public exactly what NEWCASTLE UNITED and the TOON ARMY are all about.

 

Time to show some pride boys.

 

Let's roll.

Yep...and our first team were supposed to win against Wigan, City and Derby too. I'm very bothered as Sam will probably play his boring 0-0 game at Stoke too as it's always good not to lose away from home, you know ;)

Duff's a doubt for the game.

Does this mean Charlie will get a game on the wing and the Bull at left back  :lol:

 

Don't be silly. :(

Nope it'll be Charlie at left back, Milner left mid, Smith right mid. Or something silly like that, but i'm confident we can win.

 

Let's just get behind the boys and Big Sam shall we?
