Aha, I've spotted Chaos' trickery. Will Newcastle win the cup this Sunday? No, because the final is next Sunday, not today. I win.
With Pope there i felt it was about 60/40 in Man Utd's favour..without Pope it's now about 75/25. Still a chance but we need Karius to not drop any clangers and we must take our bloody chances for once.
Sadly not clinical enough, no squad depth, becoming predictable in both attack and defence. Just going to enjoy the fleeting moments of hope, but expect the worst.
You could argue is it is our most important game in our recent history like. Just saying it is possible. But win lose or draw we will enjoy the occasion.
Newcastle have no history of anything but failure in the modern game. The rest of football is fully aware and are looking fwd to the final as much as we are ! They can't wait to watch us lose and laugh at us all There's a chance it's just 1 game we could be lucky on the day, but it's highly likely to be a painful day as usual.
Disappointment is part and parcel of life in football; if fans get too downbeat about this, they’re in for a rough ride or should consider changing sport/team. I mean, remind me how many CL trophies City have after cheating their way to spending £1bn?! The hope is this is the beginning of constant brushes with success. I really hope we pull one out of the bag, because I think to break the trophy hoodoo this soon into new ownership would be huge, pressure and expectations will only grow from here.
