    After 18 long years of anguish, pain, Mike Ashley and Free-Dor, Newcastle are finally back at Wembley in May. Look how far we have come - only last year we were languishing in the Championship and now we are playing in the showpiece game at our revered National Stadium (soon to be the Jaguars Den Arena).

    Hopefully our players are up for the occasion as these opportunities often come by only once in a lifetime - or at least until Chelsea start using it for their home games.

    Picture from last time we won at Wembley (crowd 345, 000 (after Fredor, 2016)

    Anyway the details:

    Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United
    Wednesday 9th May 20.00
    Wembley Stadium

    Big game for both sides - us to retain our top half status and Spurs to stay in the Top 4 race. An unlikely draw for us, and a win for Chelsea at Huddersfield would leave all 3 teams vying for 4th spot on 72 points with one game to play. With us then facing Chelsea in the next game we can have a big influence on the Champions League qualifications.

    The form guide:

    An in-depth analysis of the form guide suggests that they are better than us. However there are signs that they may have now entered the bottling-it phase and as long as Rafa can shake off the beaching-it phase that we seem to be in, I reckon we could get something here, as long as we don't concede early.

    Bring back Cronemeister.

    4-0 to Spurs. Kane with a hat trick. Son with the other. Newcastle players caught sipping sangria in the Ivy the night before, wearing grass skirts and regaling tales of the time they won 5 games, drew 3 and lost only 1 in a 9 game spell between Feb and mid Apr 2018.

    I think your continual wumming/bullshitting is starting to get to me - I just found myself checking whether The Ivy serves Sangria - it doesn't by the way.

    Think a hard fought 6-0 to the Toon or a 1-2 win can't decide

    Apparently he has been locked in his bedroom and his computer is downstairs. Can’t risk him going down the pub again. You will have to do it.
