Sometimes, a team plays so well that they make the other team _look_ rubbish. This is not one of those times. Would love Murphy to get his hatrick, then bring him off and give Osula a go.

Rubbish from Isak, zero goals so far. Reports in Italian press that Arsenal have made contact with the club over a £100m offer for Murphy.

Lol from schar, inside his own half. murph on a hatrick

Tino is so good on that left side. Can we clone him and play him both sides?

What a start, murphy!!

Managed to lose my Toontastic account details for a while, just got back in, so here is my slightly delayed reaction to the final: Fucking get in!!!! I was expecting another anti-climactic 2-0 loss with barely a moment to shout for. But not only did the team show up, not only did they compete, but they gave a complete performance. Tactics, effort, quality, bravery, big boy balls - we even scored from a corner, that never happens, what a time to pull it all together! I’ve rewatched the match back in full including all the buildup and celebration afterwards; I’ve done the same with the commentary on 5 live (incidentally they had Isaac Hayden on throughout the match, spoke really well, had great things to say about Howe); I’m still hoovering up all the analysis Youtube can throw at me, podcasts, the radio Newcastle special. Haven’t got bored of it yet 🙂 I had a much longer version of this post, but it’s all stuff that’s been said more eloquently elsewhere, so I’ve trimmed down to keep my gushing at a minimum. Right, Youtube is telling me to watch some bloke called Adam Clery talk about the match, so I’ll go do that…

Bit rusty at the start but after that a professional performance. Great to see Osula get his first goal, and one for Miley too. And plenty of first XI players got a rest. I remember us getting spanked at home by Birmingham in the cup, in (checks) 2007. Revenge for that please - but will need to play a stronger side!

Bring Gordon & Bruno back off now, wrap em in bubble wrap 🙂

There it is, nice one Osula, great strike!!!

Better from Osula, making a nuisance of himself

Gordon!!! Well done lad, good pen

Pen? Who takes it?

Better in that last 15 minutes, passed the ball around a bit quicker and a few gaps opened. Much better than trying to force it through the middle, it’s too congested there.

Cracking hit. He should teach Bruno how to hit them from there.

Miley!!!
