it was never in doubt, was it? i thought if even if we won there would be anxious moments in the game where liverpool would put us under pressure but they didn't lay a glove on us. a lot like our performance at anfield a few games ago. how nice not to be the team that fails to turn up for a final for once! even after bruno's mistake gifted them that goal i never felt overly worried and i loved how we ran the clock down in the corners. it would be good to see more game management like that.

HANG IT IN THE FUCKING LOUVRE

right lads, it's safe to say none of us are getting much work done today, so please continue to use this thread to share all the best newcastle content you can find 👍

what time you booked in for your tat? remember to share pics

nice touch how he shared the trophy lift with trippier and lascelles too. he didn't need to do that. he was entitled to lift it - a class act and also says everything about the harmony in the group. these players play for each other and the manager.

ended up at covent garden last night until about 11pm. the atmosphere was euphoric. strangers hugging each other on the street. drums, megaphones, people climbing on top of phone boxes etc to start chants. more vibey than notting hill carnival. we left about 11pm then went back to a mate's for a greasy pizza and more beers while rewatching the match. perfection

i think it's time we start calling him sir eddie. they've been bottling up this performance. it was no surprise our form dropped off after the arsenal second leg. they knew this was the game that mattered and they bloody did it. a tactical masterclass from howe. i genuinely think we'll go on a run now and get CL now the cup distraction is out of the way and the curse has lifted.

7:45 in for the interview with bruno had me in tears (again) just now. fair play to slott too, dignified in defeat unlike a lot of his peers

Post your pic from that tat shop tomorrow yeah?

I’ve had two nervous shits already today and feel like there’s a third in the post before kick off

A mate of mine who is there, who was trying to persuade me to come, just managed to score two tickets for £200. Not at all jealous

Having said that, if we win, the celebrations are carrying on until Monday

Nah man. Keeping my powder dry for tomorrow. 48 hour benders are for the young uns

Oi oi! 🍻

What have they got against coveentry exactly?

Of all the things to have a pop at me for, predictions is not one of them. The cheek!

Damn, I didn’t even get the chance to ask which cunt he was

what did I miss?

We’ve been saving a performance for tomorrow. I can feel it. No disgrace if we lose as long as turn up and make a game of it. But I think we’re going to want it more and will win. I expect similar levels to the two arsenal games

i'm going on a bender if we win. monday unlikely to be my most productive day at work ever

i think they targeted this tournament as the best chance of finally ending the curse. the two arsenal semi final legs were among the best performances of the season and our form and intensity has dropped away since then - coincidence? i think they've been playing within themselves since and are saving up intensity for the final where we unleash the beast against liverpool. no shame to lose against these but i expect us to work harder than them. no no-show this time. don't fear the occasion or the opposition. leave it all on the pitch. get into them, fuck them up. i predict a nervy 1-0 win to us. an early goal in the first half then an excruciating 70-80 minutes where we defend the lead.
