GOTONEW Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Football, and other spectator sports, is all about overcoming hurdles, and the excitement at the possibility of winning. And while it's highly unlikely we'll go to City's place and overturn the 0-2...we have to believe it's possible. Otherwise, what's the point in supporting? Again, history and current facts show it's unlikely, but I want to be watching if we DO overcome this deficit. It would be epic! And that's "the point" for me. Last year's cup final was against arguably one of the best teams in the world (at the time). And we fucking wrecked them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotation 100% Would rather if we were gonna do this do it against Qarabag twice, should have more than enough for them and we likely aren't gonna win the champions league We are a game away from Wembley again, albeit a very difficult game.

nufc123 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Not often I feel this meh about a game. Got quite fed up after the Liverpool game. Not because we lost, but because it was the same collapse, the same soft goals, the same away performance. Another away game, so I expect the same drivel.

Geordie_once_removed Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) A combination of the first leg result, a bit of football over saturation, some disappointing League results and feeling a bit shit with a cold has left me very not bothered by this game. I'll head to bed early and hope to wake up to a good result. Edited February 4 by Geordie_once_removed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already copped some flak for describing this as a essentially a dead rubber, but I still watch every game I can. Just to see who performs, how we set up, any clues for the direction we might go in future based on the performance and so on. When you've watched as many shite Newcastle sides as I have down the years these days are pretty decent even if the chances of a result are unlikely.

Pata Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 7 hours ago, TRon said: Doesn't matter what side we put out the chances of doing that are remote in the extreme. I just think the coming PL games are more important if we want to still have some chance of getting back in the UCL reckoning. Although I suppose you could argue that's more or less gone as well. Can write off the FA Cup now too after that draw and we'll face a tough team if we somehow get past Qarabag in the CL. It's over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
