Lmfao.

That guy screaming in the background is one angry fucker lol.

Is someone going to the game tonight? Killa, Inno, Mike?

I'd kill to be there, the atmosphere should be bombastic.

Was meant to be. Had travel all arranged (not booked, but arranged) but tickets sold out to season ticket holders, as did Wigan and Everton. Not sure what allocation we got but can't imagine it was that much, as I'm suprised a Wednesday night match sold out as quick as it did. I reckon we got around 1500/2000.

Gunna be at Man City at home on Sunday, and I know a friend who might not be able to make Everton, so could get his ticket. Hopefully.

I'm oddly optimistic about tonight, though. Just have a feeling we'll bounce back. Pretty shit time to be playing Chelsea and Torres, mind. Nothing to lose, though. As long as we go out to win, I'll be relatively happy. Don't want to see us sitting back for a draw.

[MikeNUFC]

newcastle are a very good side, but I don't see y'all taking anythin out of chelsea or man citu, its probably just me though...

Nor do I really. But we've upset the odds enough times this season for me to be decently hopeful.

[dR3]

Newcastle are the biggest and most pleasant surprise of the season for me, they're playing some brilliant football.

Can't wait, I would like to see Nando in the starting line-up as he is on fire atm, rest the beast for Wembley.

Nope.

I can't wait for the game tonight though. Bar the back 4, we should line up pretty much the same. I can't see RdM picking Drogba over Torres, especially after that hat-trick.

[Devil'sAdvocate]

mata should got 60 mins,Chelsea will need him to spit defenses

[Trimss]

Even Ineista
Look how he put his foot there!!!!!!

Though this is not diving at all.

[Trimss]

Oh, okay..
First, not a foul.
Second, even if it was a foul...It was outside the box.

You can clearly see he wants to get the penalty, and he got it. That's not really cool, I agree with you. But it's not like cheating or even diving like shit to get one.

But I know it ain't cool

[Trimss]

Yeah, I know.
You ruined it for me, I wanted SajN to be here...He gets angry real fast, I like it when that happens.

There was another penalty. You can still annoy him with that.

[dR3]

Damn, Ba hit the ba.


Newcastle are playing much better, totally deserved lead. Let's turn things around in the 2nd half, shall we?

[Innovation]

I'm not watching anymore of that lmao.

Cisse is bloody class. Those two goals (particularly the second) were out of this world. Such a brilliant player.

Full credit to Newcastle, they deserved the win. Our hopes rest on the CL final.

[dR3]

Absolute brilliance. Fuck me that was an unbelievable shot.

Congrats to the Toons, deserved win.

[Devil'sAdvocate]

what in the bloody fuck is that guy?
