https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/may/05/antony-real-betis-isco-kidnap-manchester-united-la-liga Another Man United player that appears to have left and started looking like a good player again. Antony this time.

They won't, they don't have Eddie.

I don’t disagree which is why I treat it more as a standalone event. It’s never happened in our lifetime and even if we win it next year, I’m pretty sure most of us will stay dry eyed. Where as how our league season plays out, significantly impacts the clubs upward journey. I will be overjoyed we’ve won a cup, but gutted if we miss out and stagnate while the likes of Villa and Forrest overtake us.

1st class or standard sir?

You just know that cunt's going to play a blinder last game of the season. But if we handle Chelsea and the Arse, it won't matter.

we could afford to draw this but we’d then need to beat arsenal and Everton in our final two. Much better to dispatch these then we probably only need to beat Everton and could afford to drop points at arsenal

randomly bumping in to footballers in unexpected places. jordon pickford on his way in to tescos in cinderford in the forest of dean.....

A draw would be disappointing but not a disaster depending on palace v forest tonight and Bournemouth v Villa on Saturday

It's bad enough as it is.

Locked. Just in case

Hello, this isn't the Toontastic forum you think it is. This is a forum about the football team, Newcastle United. 👍

That's such a predictable response.

EVERY fixture outside of 3pm Saturday kick offs will be televised, and that means that 3pm Saturday kick offs are going to become an endangered species. There are 113 possible 3pm Saturday kick offs next season, but even some of them will get moved.

"Look! The Magic Star is missing from the sky!"

Probably worth having a moratorium on predictions at this point

Would hope they don't, their form has been pretty poor (LLDD), you'd hope they'll be trying to generate some momentum towards the final.

It'll be just our luck for them to put out the bairns to avoid injury for the cup final.

Palace looked really good against Villa in the cup, so I am hopeful they can get something tonight.

Aye Palace beating Forest would be very welcome. Means they can win all their remaining games after that, and still be behind us on GD if we get 6 points.

I said this in another thread, but if Palace beat Forest tonight, we would only need 6pts from our last 3 games to guarantee a CL finish.

If there’s 10 games left (for example) they are probably more useful from a prediction pov. Because I think the run the possible results through a simulator 1000s of times. Then you get the most likely outcome based on that. Not saying that’s foolproof of course. But when you come down to the wire they obviously veer wildly because a single result changes so much (or can) due to the lack of remaining games. You can also just look at the table now and see exactly what you need to do in about 5 seconds.

This is why I said it's the Chelsea game that's must win. A point yesterday was unexpected from me and most welcome, it wasn't the crucial fixture though. Will be a stressful match.
