  1. "We must put pressure on the owners so they know this is unacceptable."

     

    "Okay, you going to start paying the going rate to watch a higher level Championship team/Premier League ready team, then?"

     

    "WHAT?!"

    Interesting Howe saying they played a completely different way at Anfield two weeks ago cos they didn't want to tip their hand for today. Said the players didn't even know that that's what they were doing, but he already had their plan for the cup final. 

     

    What a fucking bloke man. 

     

    Did the exact same thing v Villa in the US pre-season tour, then battered them 5-1 a few weeks later. He's a genius.

    That’ll be 65K without undoubted scope for expansion. Makes complete sense to me. Everyone seems to be getting pissy about the capacity. It’ll be the second biggest club ground in the UK

     

    Everton's can go to about 60k once the 1 seat per safe standing seat rule is changed, which they think will be sooner rather than later, you'd think ours would go up naturally with that?

  4. Going to need the midfield three to match/be better than their midfield like the 3-3, Isak to get a couple of chances, and hope TAA has one of his positional brain farts that lets Barnes in. 

     

    Not keen on Tino going forward from the left but having a pacy right-footer might be well suited to handling Salah cutting inside since he'll be tackling on his stronger foot. I reckon we'll do it 2-1. Barnes & Isak.

  5. Perfect example of it last night. We had a free-kick in the LB area, for some inexplicable reason we go back to Pope, next thing you know it's a West Ham throw-in inside our half just in front of Trippier. :lol:

  6. Thought before tonight it'd be 50/50 between Barnes & Willock for Sunday, think Barnes has won the spot based on last night. We're not going to have many chances on Sunday and even though he was quiet overall, he was the only one who looked like scoring or creating anything. Could be all it takes.

  7. Don't suppose Liverpool fancy giving Kelleher the final again this year? Even when Liverpool seem to have an off day, Alisson seems to keep them in games with world class saves. The Almiron still hurts from last season, last night he was ridiculous. Would be typical Newcastle if Liverpool finally have a poor game but that cunt wins them it.

  8. If the 2023 Cup Final had been mid-March (Pope available, Bruno and Isak fully fit) we'd have won that, and if the 2025 Final was end of February like that one (more players fit, more confidence, better form), we'd have been in with a shout there too.

     

    Newcastle, man. Even the football calendar is against us.
