For those of a nervous disposition you can get odds of 5/1 for Arsenal to qualify. I'm just saying, I don't make the numbers up, I'm just passing it on :)

Be better off splitting you're coin on Arsenal to qualify in the following

9/1 90 minutes

20s extra time

18s pens

Think we’ll do them again, they can’t open up teams that sit back because they lack creativity without Saka. 
 

City played into their hands, we won’t be so open and we’ll catch them when they get desperate and over-commit.

I'm just glad we're all in agreement that Arsenal are a good side and it won't at all be embarrassing if they have more of the ball than us.

Mine blow-softener is not having to fork out silly money to get into the final.

I've hoyed £50 on them winning the tie. I find the 5/1 odds quite reassuring tbh, but it had to be done.

Would be unforgivable for us to not progress on Wednesday. 

Unforgivable is a bit ott? They're an excellent team and an early goal changes the whole dynamic of the tie

What as in you’ll never watch us again, and stop supporting us ?  That unforgivable ?

 

Or, you'll be really really disappointed, and will sulk like a child for ages, which is where i'll be if we go out.

the only consolation of getting eliminated now would be not having another heartbreaking final loss, most likely against Liverpool 

 

a final loss against Spurs would be unbearable

The second. :lol:

 

Maybe the term unforgivable was strong but I’ll be gutted. Will ruin my weekend and probably the following weekend.

Definitely still a very tough 90 mins to get through, and if they were playing anybody else you would never write them off. Still a tougher ask for them than us though, so if we go 100% we should go through.

We have a good chance of progressing in the FA Cup and also getting European spots still - so isn't the be all and end all. However, I think we're in a very strong position and if we can knock out Arsenal, Chelsea and Forest in this cup run based on Forests form this season I'd actually fancy us in the final against anyone. So aye, I'd be pissed off for a few weeks if we fuck this up.

A loss to Spurs and for Ange to have his trophy in his second year be a thing, would be brutal.

Anybody getting an early goal wins the tie I reckon. Up for grabs for the distance otherwise.

Nah. I think if we score at any point then the tie will be dead.

The one thing about Arsenals win today is it will remind our lot that they must be at their best. I'd like to think that if we score we win and we score in most games. One things for certain is that it will be either one of the best or worst football occasions of my life. The possible outcomes and emotions are just so far apart.

Hmmm. We scored twice against Southampton to go 3-0 on aggregate, and all it took was a goal out of nothing for them to turn the stadium into an absolute bag of nerves.

Shocking!  I've never had a bet on a Newcastle defeat EVER.  Can't do it.

Worry is that the game is being played next week. Since the 1st leg, we've been figured out.

 

Think if we'd played the 2nd leg a week after, we'd have walked it.

Let’s say Arsenal go a goal up, and we make it 1-1. Our crowd will be up for it because it puts us in a strong position. Even if we go 1-0 up, the crowd will be up for it.

It's incredible how mentally scarred we are as a fan base, mind. :lol:

 

We're 2-0 up, we're at home, and we're actually not that bad. I'm confident we'll see a reaction to the last couple of performances. Those that are at SJP on Wednesday need to make it a bear pit and they'll shit their breeches. 

 

Howay the lads.

I’ve rarely done if at all but I would hardly say it’s shocking :lol:
