Just before he got injured he had massively improved in that regard. He was pretty shit but started to look good going forward. He's still the hardest working forward we have and his defensive work is very important. 

 

I can see Sancho starting against Barca and Antony starting against you. More pace to hurt Burn.

How do you think you will line up? Will it be Weghorst up front, Rashford and Antony on the wings with Fernendes at no 10 or does Rashford play cf now?

 

Please excuse the ignorance in the question, I don't get the time or opportunity to watch a lot of football that isn't nufc these days.

If we lose, I'd like to think whoever is held most culpable in the court of public opinion, along with ASM, will be put in stocks and pelted with rotten tomatoes. 

 

Shame we can't recall Chris Wood from his loan.

Did we really have a fucking parade for losing a final before?

 

Jesus Christ what a dire idea that is

Remember the 74 one, ended up inside SJP. Google it, amazing night even though we lost. Cups were considered bigger then so the achievement greater. Mind I'm expecting some great memories being made if we win on Sunday.

Think it was always going to be Tues with so many not getting trains until the Mon plus gives club/council/police a day to confirm arrangements. 

It better be evening.

They should have told people sooner.

:lol: Misery guts. Genuinely some of the most memorable (TV) images from my NUFC-supporting childhood!

The league game feels like it was years ago. Joelinton hit the post twice, Rashford missed a sitter and Ronaldo tried to con the ref into giving them a goal if I remember correctly. 

That Ronaldo ‘goal’ :lol::lol: 

 

What a moron. Pope and our defenders just stood there and watched him embarass himself.

Just had the box office on - 2 return tickets. Genuinely could cry. They are still working through the last remaining set, no caller ID, so watch out if you’ve missed out even at this late stage.

I genuinely thought these fb updates were folk telling porkies. Good to hear and congratulations.

Managed to snag a last minute ticket. Feel very lucky.
 

My journey down is a bit of a fun one on Saturday like, Newcastle to York, York to Doncaster and then Doncaster to KGX. In first class for the big stretch so going to take advantage of the free/not free beers.

 

Stopping in Holborn Premier Inn - thankfully know the area quite well so happy enough. 


lner used to only have free drink with first class offer mon-fri so you might be disappointed

LNER operating dry trains on Sunday.  Where there's a will there's a way though...


Only northbound after the game mate. Was the same in 1999 and tbh it causes more aggro than prevents. Feel sorry for the staff who have to try to enforce it. 98% of people behave whatever the result.

I'm on a train down on Saturday morning. All seats fully booked so I'm having to stand for 3 hours. This didn't concern me a few weeks back when I booked but now it's nearing the day it's a bit of a twat like. [emoji38]

Go in the restaurant carriage, they have unreserved seats in there.

 

You’ll probably need to get straight on that carriage though, usually B or G apparently.

Think that's the same for me and I've got the bairn. Not on the 10.59 are you? [emoji38]

 

I'm taking some beers, and hoping I can find a floor somewhere. Nothing will get me down. :thup:
