Did look a bit that way with the cup lift 

[TBG]

I just hope the win and lifting a trophy doesn't get to the players heads. 

 

There's a reason no club has won the sela Cup three times in a row.

Enjoyable afternoon on the whole. Can't remember the last time I was at a pre-season match.

No word yet I don't think.

 

Looked like he walked off okay and didn't look distraught, so I'm guessing it was a slight tweak or a bit of tightness.

Did anyone forget to tell their players before the game that it was only a friendly cup final and not a real one? wtf was all that about.

People on here shitting themselves every time a player goes down is the after effects of last season.

Like the Ashley years. Gonna take some getting over!

Haven’t been to a home friendly that I can remember since the Carrol Juve one  years ago, but have to say I enjoyed the whole day, even if the game was a bit shit. Decided to avoid the city centre for obvious reasons and went to Jesmond for food, nice walk down to the ground, club shop to get new top, then Stack before the game. Took someone to their first football game and they loved it too. Looking forward to Southampton. 
 

Only real comments regarding the game, I thought Bruno looked extra motivated, if that’s possible, and Kelly was solid. Suspect the kid of the left in the second half will be around the team given he got so long after playing a part last night too. Close control is unreal.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I thought Kelly was really good, has a case for a start at the moment.

Thought Travis Hearnes looked good too when he came on, don’t about his background but seemed comfortable in that middle CM role.

I wasn't really concentrating but I barely saw him touch the ball when I was watching 😂

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Nah he didn’t do a lot, just a few pressures and tackles I think. But hadn’t seen him play before.

We've got two Swedes and a Dane in the first team picture, so would be nice if Hernes took a step towards the first team so we can have Norway represented too.
