Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

I'm old enough to remember Bob Moncur (think it was him) lifting the then Fairs Cup

 

word of warning on young CB. John Stones.

 

You must be the only one left alive that remembers seeing it.

 

I remember them winning the Fairs Cup in 1969 with Bobby Moncur as captain.

Fairs Cup was actually known as the Runners Up Cup at one stage. So we were Champion Runners-Up.

Last thing we won apart from Championship trophy twice.


Edit: Beaten to it by Fosse

 

The only highlights I can really remember from Newcastle, aside from that FA Cup defeat to Liverpool, was Bobby Robson, I liked him. And Kevin Keegan, was he at Newcastle when he threw that hissy fit on live TV?

 

Exactly. We could rave about young 18yr old Branthwaite who when he’s played has barely put a foot wrong. The kid looks a genuine prospect.

But would we want a lad of that age as a first choice CB in the PL? Nope.

 

Hang on last night I was told people think football only started when sky came along, but today I'm being told west ham won the fa Cup more recently than Newcastle and that the fact newcastle have won more trophies overall doesn't count


Confused

 

We were actually in the FA Cup Finals in 1997-98 and 1998-99 so again runners-up 2 years in a row. Keegan's rant was 95-96 when we lost a 12pt lead to finish runners up in the league.

 

It was what's now the europa league

Last night I was told villa and forest won the champions league, so they can't have it both ways

 

It was much harder to qualify for than the Europa League - you had to come from a city that held a trade fair, hence the name.

 

We also lost a semi final in extra time vs Chelsea and numerous in Europe... We won **** all but we were close enough times.

The best as sporting Lisbon

We won 2 - 0 at home them away went 1-0 up so the away goal meant they had to score 4 to go through in the second half

They scored 5

 

They still won it

 

we have overpaid for Godfrey. But he had shown he had a bit about him in a pl seasn.

 

Where does he play though? Isn't he playing out of position? Surely it's a, tad early to judge him

 

he is overpriced. But we have the money and he showed at Norwich he has something. But cover at RB and a mixed CB pair/not settled.

 

Prices these days are ridiculous in general...

 

I blame
The Newcastle takeover for inflating prices.

 

Oh I forgot about the takeover I think it's day 286

 

Speaking of nufc this could be the most hilarious disaster yet

West brom Vs Newcastle now in doubt with the virus situation getting worse


At what point will they award points to the opposition?

 

this is just the PL punishing NUFC for questioning the non rejection of the takeover offer.
