Guest Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Probably the two most evenly matched teams in the league that you could choose for a Final. I've no doubt we'll show up for this one too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Just now, OCK said: Cuba survived like 28 cold wars since the last time Newcastle United won a trophy. Fairly confident it'll still be there the week after. Tell work to calm down. Need to be on site for Monday 27th, it's the only time myself and the customer are both available between now and May, and it's literally my job to go. Only thing I can think of is to ask to fly a day early and offer to pay the hotel for the extra day. Which they may well refuse to let me pay, but morally I should offer as then there's no reason to not let me. Question is if they do let me pay, am I willing to pay £170 to watch a Newcastle match on a shit stream in a hotel on the other side of the world? Also Cuban internet is fucking shit and even if I am there there's a chance the game will be unwatchable for me despite doing all that. :lol: Should add it's a south-coast company so playing the "but Newcastle are playing" card will likely count for fuck all.

Guest Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 That sounds shady as fuck. Private deadline in person deals in Cuba. Chance of getting shot by the CIA. or..... Newcastle United in the League Cup Final. Chance of getting shagged by @Slim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Crazy Man U have to play 7 games before final compared to our 3. Hope the Barca game goes to extra time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I'm honestly so hung up about the fact that I might not be there when we finally win one that I almost don't want us to win, but I will suppress those terribly selfish thoughts for the greater good.

Btw Bruno is back for this yes? There's been talk about a fanzone at SJP? Supposed to be flying home from Edinburgh om the eve of the final at 8.20. Desperate to find a way to stay in Newcastle for the final and go home on the Monday, but it's all too expensive at the moment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazeT44 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Posted in a different thread too. But as a Newcastle fan living outside of Newcastle with nee chance of a ticket, what's the best option -- Going to London and meeting at a pub down there, or going up to Newcastle to watch at a local? Genuine question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Plenty of games before the final for Rashford, Casemiro and Fernandes to get injured/suspended. That would be ideal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vedder Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) Fuuuck, all the years of watching shite home and away and not to be there if we do finally win something is going to be hard. Edited January 31, 2023 by Vedder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I've been supporting this club through nearly 20 years of misery, failure and Mike Ashley, I can't really comprehend that we're actually in a final. Going to be in Gothenburg of all places on the 26th, didn't even cross my mind to check when the final was when booking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Now the stress of getting a ticket begins. I'm hoping as a ST who attended all the home cup games sees me through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
