[LCF] Newcastle United 2-1 Liverpool - NUFC LEAGUE CUP WINNERS


Recommended Posts

My day started with burying my daughters gerbil. Which I know it sounds weird but I was stood out in the garden with the spade, my 7 year old and a gerbil wrapped in an old amazon box. I was doing dad stuff. [emoji38]

 

Id listened to 5live in the morning and a woman that lives along the road was talking to Colin Murray, id talked to her son in the pub the night before. She missed the final 2 years ago after shattering her leg. 

 

Me and my friend took our two sons to my local in the afternoon for a few games of pool and darts. Just filling the day in, making a day of it. Doubles, round the clock, I won every game... a good start. [emoji38]

 

Then on to my mates house. I can barely remember anything. Straddling him after Burns goal, diving on him after Isaks goal. Pressing a plastic stress ball against my face for the last 10 minutes.

 

The final whistle, on the floor crying and laughing at the same time. The most incredible feeling of emotion. Stumbling to my local club for the after party. Hugging friends and strangers, pure euphoria, what an amazing atmosphere.

 

Home, drunk, happy. A day I won't ever forget or won't ever be surpassed.

Shearer was in Amsterdam watching Sam Fender.


Also, Shearer was in Amsterdam getting life advice from bobbydazzla

I can’t remember the match. I remember celebrating the goals, and I can vividly remember the post match celebrations but I’ve completely blanked the match out.

 

Call it a trauma response.

Speaking of Sam Fender, heard they’re trying to secure him for the 29th. Free concert on the moor. Just passing along what I’ve heard. 

Not saying he'll let on, but I'll ask my mate :D

The overriding feeling I found in the ground was "what do we do now?". We knew the pre made plans before the game,  go to Covent Garden, enjoy the build up to the match. 

 

Some people had hope and blind optimism but I'm not convinced many thought we'd actually do it which made the spontaneous celebrations so much more better. If we'd have been playing Spurs or another club not as good as Liverpool the celebrations may have been able to be a bit more pre-planned if we felt we had a chance of winning it before the game. 

 

I don't know if other clubs sing it when they win the cup but the spontaneity of "Don't you know pump it up, Newcastle's won the cup" blaring around one half of Wembley will stay with me forever

I feel like the ebb and flow of the game is etched into my memory. Give me a minute and I could tell you how the game was going for us. 

 

I have now watched it 4 times...

Thoroughly enjoying reading everyone's experiences of Sunday. It all got a bit too much for me at HT like, I bawled my eyes out on the concourse. Emotionless at FT, didn't know how to feel. Still don't. Not sure when it will sink in.

A few more bits and pieces in this, if you're still gasping for more content.

There’s never enough content. I’m like a tenured junkie for this stuff.

A few years ago I didn’t even follow the club on any social media. 

They had my old Twitter account blocked for abuse. :lol:

Had my ears chewed off by a taxi driver in Yogjayakarta many a year a go wanting to talk to me about how much he loved Alan Shearer and English football. :aww:

Tino's voice breaking up in his interview properly got me there. He's normally such a chilled out lad but you can just hear the excitement brimming in him. :lol:

 

I wanted to join and help them make that next step and now we've made that next step. :yeah:

I thought I'd absolutely regret passing my ticket on to my Dad if we won, but I really didn't. He's 60 soon, I picked him up from Central on Monday and he just burst into tears. I've only ever seen him cry once before. We went for a few pints on Monday with some of our family and it just was perfect. He deserved that moment and I'm sure my time will come. This is just the start.

 

Was honestly the most magical weekend. Spent Friday night and Saturday in London and got a train back at 9ish Sunday morning, my lass picked up my stuff and met the mates I wasn't with in Newcastle. 

 

Makes everything worthwhile. Packing in my ticket when Bruce got the job, I'd lost my brother who I used to go to every game with a few months before the takeover and it fucking kills me he missed this but I couldn't help but think he was there with me. Sounds proper cringe I know, but it was the first time I'd properly felt his presence since he passed. I'm sure we all have people we remembered on Sunday, they were all there with us.

 

Just an absolutely glorious weekend for every single person associated with this city and our football club. All the arguments about who deserves tickets for any game just out of the window. All those pitiful, depressing games at St James' where everything bar the match seemed more important. All those miles accrued following us on coaches stinking of piss. Every single penny and feeling I have ever experienced following this club is worth it.

 

So, so jealous of the next generation of our fans. They're gonna have it a lot better than we ever did. 

 

I've felt like absolute death for days - far too old to be having 3 day benders now. Buzzing to take my kids to the event on the 29th now.

 

As for the rest of the season, yes we have a huge opportunity for Champions League football again but I'd be a liar if I said I gave much of a shit now. Job done as far as I'm concerned, and then some. I'll be somewhere in Europe following MY team in the next 12 months and that is what it's all about.

Absolute class this, Tino getting choked up about making that next step has set me away again 😭
