OTF

Amazing feet ASM and forces a save.

Ferguson and Gill messaging their old mates at the FA and the refereeing department.

Schär knows how to get and take a head knock doesn't he.

Three men on ASM.

Hope he's just shithousing a quick breather in his first match back.

Weghorst got very lucky with the deflection falling straight to him, and we got very lucky with the deflection falling straight to Weghorst. Good for Karius early on. That cross was dangerous....

Like this nice easy save for Karius.

Joelinton and Bruno playing very well with composure and ASM wants everything forward, pretty good start especially with Dalot already on a yellow.

Fucking Bein shit, they cross to their commentary.... it's been a minute and a half of just stadium noise!

Hope Karius has a nice easy bit of involvement early to settle the nerves. His too.

Wor Bruno looking nervous, moreso than Loris.

The black and white in the stadium looks fantastic, got to be a nice lift for the boys.

He'd be inhuman if he wasn't nervous! I'm nervous sat in my lounge room 17000km away!

Such an absurd set of circumstances with Karius in goals.

This is on Bein sports here with Richard Keys and Andy Gray, fucking hell they are terrible. Keys has been blabbing on about Rashford, and keeps asking the same question of Gray whether he's the best player in the league, and whether he'd swap him for Haaland.

The boys suggested I wake them up so they can watch the game with me, but it's at 3:30AM and they have school after. Plus they'll just fall asleep.

As I was watching the earlier video in the tweet that Diego posted when local hero came on both my boys and my wife started humming the tune 🥰

Nice work @Christmas Tree it was a bit emotional hearing you and your daughters speak in the context of the atmosphere there and the impending game. Hope you all have a great time and more importantly that we win.

More than anything, it will be "our season fell apart because Newcastle United won a cup."

Was just thinking this to myself the other night as I drifted off to sleep.

Taekwondon't care.

Like how he calls himself Lorius Karius.

Something to look forward to.

Noone is suggesting sleep should be lost, just that there must be an acknowledgement of distaste when anyone other than us are referred to as United, and doubly so if we're not referred to as Newcastle United.

People aren't welcome around here if this doesn't bother them. The only one who could probably get away with it is Diego as he'd no doubt have a little anecdote to go along with it.
