NEEJ Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Being part of it, man. What a privilege. I genuinely hope that anyone reading this gets the chance to experience something similar in future. It was pure euphoria like nothing I'd ever experienced before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it can't ever be experienced again mate, that feeling of winning our first trophy after such a long wait can never be repeated, once in a lifetime moment!

Turnbull2000 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 After seeing that Arse got £100m from their champions league campaign, and that City and Chelsea are set for £50m minimum for the club world cup nonsense, delighted to learn we earned £182,000 from our Carabao Cup winning run Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog63 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Been watching the highlights again and the Full-Time Celebration video featuring Peter Sandberg's "Dismantle" (cheers for the resource, whoever it was, ). I haven't really gone into much detail about our cup final experience. More out of respect for Mrs G's unwavering sense of privacy than anything else but am minded to share a bit. FWIW Her Mam, an amazingly warm, generous and hugely entertaining woman, had dementia kick in a few years ago. Signs were there at a time we moved her from her house into a lovely bungalow but she slowly diminished before our very eyes from then on. If any consolation was to be had it is that at her, ultimate demise, she was under her own roof with her loved ones around her, whom she still remembered at the end. She loved her sport. Rugby and football, mainly. We'd have her and her long term partner around for every Newcastle match. She, most definitely would have been here for the final. As it was she took a huge downturn the week prior. This was expected as she'd stopped eating and drinking. Mrs G took time of work and stayed overnight whilst her sister and M-in-L's partner (they never lived together, as it goes) covered the days. Cup final day came and we both watched it here. Surreal as it was we both lapped it up as much as anyone of us that day. Bruno's post-match interview about 70 years of waiting, some dying in the lingering. Particularly poignant, of course. On her way up to her Mam's she dropped me off at the Metro for my futile trip into town to catch up with my drunken brother and our pal from York. Despite missing them I still enjoyed a taste of the euphoria but, by the time I'd walked up to St.James to meet some other family, my heart wasn't in it. Had a beer in the Haymarket, bus home, watched the first half again and went to bed. Mrs G had gone to her Mam's, took over from the others and sat by her bed for a bit. Her Mam was very very weak, drifting a bit but mostly sleeping. At one point, however, she woke up and the wife says.... "Mam, Newcastle won the cup!!!" "eeeh, never, I don't believe you" came the faint reply On the evening of the following Tuesday 3 of her Grandchildren were sat around her bed, saying their goodbyes, as it were. The subject of our Cup win came up, 1 of the Grandkids is Man U through and through. "Mam, tell him about Newcastle winning the Cup" "yes, I know. First one I've missed as well" She passed away Thurs morning. Bruno knew the crack Has to be said, by the way, that our injecting our eyes and ears with all that glorious Cup Final content was a massive help those post-final 2 weeks.

And there was me thinking I was all out of final related tears. Fucker! Memories of my nan, lost a long old time ago to the same rancid disease. Always made a corn beef pie for my dad, grandad and I every time we came back from the match when I was a kid. Ate it as quick as I could and ran down the road to grab the pink. Would have loved them both to have seen that day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen the price of corned beef now man Absolutely loved a homemade pie off of the Granny or Aunty. Proper pastry as well. My Aunty Mary made me a ham n egg pie to eat the night Groundhog Jnr entered the world. Wolfed it down with 4 cans of Carling.

Superior Acuña Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 (edited) I noticed the Sky Sports highlights on youtube have 1.9 million views, versus 1.3 million for the previous year's final, despite that being up a full year longer edit: And the previous year has 960k after over 2 years.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted Monday at 17:03 Share Posted Monday at 17:03 Is anyone able to find the VT that went out on Football Focus the day before the cup final? Had Sam Fenders Remember My Name over it. It was some lad called Mark, but he's restricted his tweets now and it's been ages since I requested a follow.

Dr.Spaceman Posted Wednesday at 18:58 Share Posted Wednesday at 18:58 I was absolutely stunned, genuinely didn't know what to do after the initial "Yeeeaaaahhhhhhh". Loved seeing a few folk before and after for a loads of pints as well. What a fucking day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
