SiLvOR Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I'm 35 and I'd genuinely given up hope of us winning anything about 5-6 years ago. Just never seemed possible. And now we've reached 2 finals in 3 years. Unbelievable turnaround. I'm so desperate, like we all are, to see us lift a trophy. We've got such a good chance now. Fuck Liverpool, mark Salah out of the game and have Isak score a brace. Job done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinoasprilla Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I’m 50 first game we got beat 1 0 at home by Shrewsbury used to love walking to the ground smelling the hops from the brewery. Having a coke in the magpie club. Witnessed some cracking players over the years loved the Keegan and Robson years I even liked Willie McFaul. Sourness was a plank but nothing compared to the Ashley years. I boycotted after having a season ticket since 1981 struggle to get a ticket now. Do I regret it possibly but maybe if thousands had stayed the fat shit jeans wearing tear might have continued to milk us. Love the highs and lows standing in the San Siro thinking this is us every season to the shite of McClaren playing Anita and Colback in midfield the inevitable relegation. Like you never thought I’d see us win anything but can we win it yes we can. Isak is unreal, Gordon has Trent Alexander Bellends number, Tonali gets better and better and please start botman. We can do these fuckers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCOCOL Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 5 hours ago, Heron said: It's a mental thought isn't it. Like I cannot imagine the thought of us having won something. It feels like one of those things where everyone would be like "Ah God help us if we win it, I'll be partying for a whole week" bur I'm not sure in reality it would. We'd have to come home for one. We'd have work. We'd be literally so dumbfounded that we finally broke this curse I literally think it will initially make folk feel a bit disorientated (once the celebrations die down ) think Del Boy and Rodney when they’ve sold the clock and are leaving Nelson Mandela House for the last time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had bizarre nicknames for every player, although I only remember Waddle who he called "Slack Alice".

Wonder if we could play something that's like this in effect: Dubravka Livramento Schar Botman Burn Hall Joelinton Tonali Bruno Gordon Murphy Isak Don't think they'll let us field 12 players tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I’ve always had the weird feeling that the first trophy win in yonks reaction in Newcastle will be an odd outpouring of emotion mixed in with drunken revelry - it’ll feel really, really odd; not an anticlimax exactly, just that the reaction won’t be uniform. The second one and every one after that would be a standard two days of drunken merriment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Been going since the early 70's, have witnessed just the 5 final defeats, and the semi final robbery. Went to the first 2, remember my dad bollocking me for being a misery on the coach journey home. I imagine there'll be tears should we pull it off this time.

At some point in life luck has to change. Nothing is written, all possibilities lay on the table. Believe. I've got few complaints about life, but the part of Newcastle United winning something, I've put that to bed until it happens. Of course I'll watch, and hope. But believe? I'll do that when it happens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydazzla Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) If we ever win a trophy I imagine it’d be like when we were 5 nowt up at half time against Spurs and there was looks of bewilderment on the faces of people in the ground What had been hyped as a tight, must win game that we probably expected to bottle and lose had become a demolition and as fans we didn’t have a fucking clue what we should be feeling Probably the weirdest atmosphere I’ve ever experienced at SJP Edited February 8 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember as the third, fourth and fifth goals went in not even celebrating just standing and pivoting around to folk with my jaw on the floor and asking if it was actually real. I wasn't alone. Absolutely shell-shocked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went up the day before with 4 of us. One Spurs supporting mate. Was giving it the big one the night before with their shit chants and getting overly confident. Anyway, sat next to me in the Leazes, hungover as fuck. He got to see the goals up close I was doing my best not to laugh or get carried away. As he is a good mate and I wanted to show a bit of empathy. But seeing him have to keep standing up and applaud every few minutes and feign an interest was hilarious I think for the 4th goal, one of my other mates didn’t even celebrate. Tried to hold it together. But he just looked across and burst out laughing in the Spurs lad’s face Edited February 8 by Lush Vlad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst also not wanting to rinse him too much. Which is odd, as I usually wind him up all the while I’d give him the odd condescending pat or sad look. Which is arguably worse He didn’t get away scot free. A few fans around us realised and started giving him some light hearted stick and all The drive home was fun. He got loads of abuse on the way back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Like fuck can I be doing with listening to Drury on commentary with his constant Salah wankathon. Accompanied by Carragher I'm sure.
